German Translation Available Jan 11 !!
Get the German edition of the book, German Amazon has it up now!
Note that the German publishers, moses-verlag, changed the colors and the layout of the cover. I love the font they chose for the title! Visit their webpage and check out the catalogs. One of the catalog covers is especially great.
In spring I had to make my text boxes wider for translation. I'm glad I did!

Release Date!!
Chronicle has given me a Release Date! The book: From Here To There: A Book of Mazes to Wander and Explore, will be on sale Feb. 28! I know that is FOREVER from now. The advance copies will be going out sooner, early January. That's so specialty stores can see it and know that it is cool enough to put on their shelves. This is also when INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE with fat Twitter accounts get their copies too. If you have tons of social media followers and want to hold this book before anyone else, drop me a line!
Translations
I chose to use START and END signs because arrows don't work well when the destinations are not along the perimeter. My publisher asked me to make the END box wider to allow for translation into other languages. That is so cool. I will post a translated version as soon as available!
Original START; original END; new END with larger box; blank box to allow for translation.
Welcome
I draw mazes. I draw other stuff too, but the mazes are what I do for relaxation and meditation. I have been making them forever. For me, they are a sweet spot between puzzle creation and doodling. Sometimes I explore specific themes, other times design ideas or concepts.
I actually have so many completed, there will be a book available early 2017. More on that later.
Here I will document the creation process of my newer work, the final stages of publication, inspirations, and ideas.
