Cryptomaze 014 “Freedom!”
Cryptomaze 014 “Freedom”
Cryptomaze instructions: first solve the maze to find the cryptogram word. Then there is an encrypted message in the left over letters. Use the key E=C to help decode them both.
Cryptomaze 014 features a word that gets a lot of press “freedom”. I remember growing up with this word, not in any real personal sense of the word; but rather from the descriptions of slavery and Jim Crow. The sense of personal freedom, that is what the word means personally to me; well I didn’t have a good sense of that until my late 30’s. Somewhere around that time I took a 3 day long personal growth workshop, and while I didn’t become a basketball star, I did get a better understanding of the word “freedom”. And the answer to this cryptogram sums up what that word means to me (not so much the encrypted message – though that is also a viable end result of freedom).
So take the challenge here, find out a little bit more about me, and maybe yourself, and solve the cryptomaze.

Cryptomaze 013 “The Path Less Taken”
“Lucky” Cryptomaze 013
The message of cryptomaze 013 is meant to be cautionary rather than ecstatic, though either interpretation is valid. You’ll just have to solve the cryptomaze – and then consider how the message relates to the word – to see what I mean. It’s up to you!
I believe that mistakes in artwork may (sometimes at least) be absorbed into the whole; and this idea proved essential to this drawing. The form calls for 28 letters to be encrypted. Near the completion of the drawing process I realized that I had 31 letters total – 3 more than intended. I squashed the impulse to raze my drafting table to the ground, turned it around, and made a larger maze!
Solve the maze to find the cryptogram word. There is also a encrypted message in the left over letters. Use the key V=P to help decode them both.
The solution to the puzzle is suitable for all ages. Hope you enjoy solving the cryptomaze.
The artwork was drawn on 55lb Canson vellum paper with Faber-Castell inks by Rob Hughes. Made to last. The original is available, please inquire.
Thanks for stopping by and have fun with the cryptomazes!

Cryptomaze 012 “The Love Beat!”
Cryptomaze 012
Cryptomaze 012 was drawn in the relatively balmy month of December. Who knew it would get so cold this year (Jan 2014)?! Now we are leaving “Pola Vortex” and hopefully heading into something better. Find your way through cryptomaze 012, and you’ll uncover timeless wisdom – better even than tea and scones (if you can believe that!)
Solve the maze to find the cryptogram word. There is also a encrypted message in the left over letters. Use the key O=C to help decode them both.
The solution to the puzzle is suitable for all ages; and in this case the solution word doubles as the first word in the solution phrase. Hope you enjoy solving the cryptomaze.
