browsing /r/mazes, I saw a request for a maze. I happened to have some free time so I drew this in a few hours.
choose an exit on edge of maze; try to get there from central space

Happy U is happy if you can travel from dot to dot.

Here are two mazes for the price of one! In each case, they are drawn on paperboard called “shikishi” (色紙) in Japanese. In each case they have their own permalinks.
Under pink and green lines, travel along noodle paths from start to finish

This reminds me of the traveling salesman problem, but is nothing like that.
Use each pair of teleports while traveling from one dot to the other, but while traveling conventionally, don’t cross any black lines or your own path.
don’t cross your own path
I drew a few straight lines and considered making a mirror maze, but have no way to easily measure the angles to make sure they’re precise. So I abandoned the mirror concept and just drew in some other lines.

By request, a maze where the blue heart wins!
When I was little, I learned that HI could be read as HI if turned 90 degrees.
travel from dot to dot on white paths
I made this maze with lots of pointy angles instead of smooth curves. Sometimes life plays hardball. Curves coming next week!

Start from one dot and go to the other dot. Top left to bottom right is easier than the other way around.

The basic pattern for this maze was taken from a game level I made for a guy I met online. I hope to do some cross-promotion with his work and mine!
This maze is quite easy no matter which way you solve it. One way is just very circuitous!

I recently saw a ten second tutorial on how to smooth lines in Gimp.
I used it to smooth the lines in this maze. The start and end points are in the upper right corner.

There are times that I want to make mazes with one-way portions, and I recently figured out a way to do so that would kinda make sense without saying much.
Zazie was the first person to give me coins on http://dogeparty.io/ 10,000 CUTE!!!

I started this maze while on the train with Lin to Paola and Jon’s house. Start at one of the small dots and travel to the other dot, using teleportation points as needed.

Travis had an interesting idea for a promotional tool: a business card creator! He made one at FabCafe in Shibuya based on this design.
