Book Launch !! The Arrow Maze Book: Kids 8+ Edition

Just wanted to announce I have launched my latest maze book, an arrow maze book for kids, The Arrow Maze Book: Kids 8+ Edition. It features 100 mazes, none of which have dead ends and is for beginner maze solvers ! The nice thing about arrow mazes is they are one of the few maze books that make sense in Kindle format since you do not use a writing instrument to solve them ! They are well priced at $6.95 for print, and $2.99 for Kindle (the minimum allowable price for this size book). I also just lowered the price of my original Arrow Maze Book Volume 1 to $2.99 on Kindle.

I also am finishing up some books for older ages as we speak:

Maze Comic Book Cover #83 - Serpentine

Issue #83 in my comic book cover series is called Serpentine and features the maze of a naga. Naga’s can be found on Hindu and Buddhist temples. This particular one is very much a serpent that looks very dragon-like. This is the 1st of a 4 issue arch of mythical creatures. I hope you enjoy them !

My comic book cover mazes can be found in 2 places:

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 1 (Issues #1-53)

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 2

Naga Maze Comic Book

To receive a book of my first year of comic book book mazes (Volume 1 with mazes #1-53) you can sign up for my book alerts - any time I launch a free maze book, or paid book (on Amazon), I will send you a note about the new book launch.

Maze of the Week #187 - Beach Scene Maze

This Beach Scene Maze was made off of a picture provided to me from a client. I made it in black and white and the size they requested. It can double as a coloring page. I decided to do some coloring myself to see how my version would come out. Of course I also added a few other enhancements I thought would improve the maze !

Today I present Maze of the Week #187 -a Beach Scene Maze. The original maze used different styles for the water, beach, jungles and terrain. I think it works. The style is different than other mazes I have made, but I think it works.

Here are the enhancements I made to improve the maze:

1. Added Color - I added color throughout the maze. The main wooded area that takes up the right side is a bit brighter than I wanted, but the true color makes the maze hard to see.

2. Added Texture - The beach, the mountains in the background and the rocky shoreline all got a bit of texture added to enhance their look.

3. White Start - Now that the start of the maze is on a dark background I changed the Start from black to white (Goal remains in black).

4. Resized - The original maze was made for a 9x7 sized book, but I reformatted the color version toa standard size sheet of paper. This reduced the border size a bit.

I like them both. Maze downloads of the color version are available on the homepage.

Found a maze in the library

On one of my tri-weekly trips to the library I noticed a flyer celebrating the 100th anniversary of the main branch of the Cleveland Library. The front just so happened to have a hand drawn maze of the # 100 with the inside and back featuring other puzzles.

Cleveland Library 100 years Maze

If you are ever in the area it is a wonderful building in the downtown and worth a visit. Popular for wedding photos with wonderful marble stairs and beautiful ceilings. If you are visiting Cleveland here are the big 5 places to stop by:

  • The Arcade is across the street from the library. Great photo op.

  • The Rock and Roll HOF (my maze of it)

  • Our world renowned orchestra (that plays at Severance Hall)

  • The Cleveland Museum of Art (next to Severance Hall)

  • The West Side Market

Since I live here 6 months of the year I have many mazes of the city: 6 Stunning Pieces of Maze Art showing Cleveland, Ohio
