Ceiling Mazes by Chris Hodge-
Where there are no mazes...
There should be!

Dear Mazeless Person, The guy you see in front of the maze... well, that's ME: Chris Hodge. A couple quick things about me and the mazes I make. I'm 25 years old. When I was about three I started doodling with whatever materials I could lay my hands on. By the time I was 10, my parents had convinced me that it was in my best interests not to draw on the walls... on the furniture... and those are just the places I'll admit to drawing on. But since the day I first realized that drawing on paper wouldn't get me smacked, I've been constantly on the look-out for my next great idea. True, they're not all incredibly amazing, but some of my ideas have won me national awards, and my work has travelled all over the Continental United States. Seriously, sometimes Good and Weird can come together in the best way, like the beard hair paint brushes I made back in 2006 (and couldn't make ENOUGH of them...), or the house that people said I'd have to bull-doze, that I fixed up and liked so much I ended up living there.

Now, we're each entitled to our own personal opinions, and I think that this is one of my best ideas yet. See, I'm not very good at mudding and taping drywall, and I would not have popcorn ceiling textures in a house where I'd put a human being... matter-of-fact, I wouldn't even put popcorn ceilings in a dog house... I needed a texture that would mask my errors. And what's worse is that those errors were ALL OVER the house. It's not easy to make a texture that looks the same everywhere. So I got my weird on. Weird may not be a verb to some people, but well, weirding gives me special priveleges. I'd been painting mazes for years, back when I was mentally exploring the relationship of chaos and order. Even some of my more "normal" pieces had maze-like qualities in them. So why not do something I already know how to do, instead of re-inventing my personal wheel. If you like to start randomly reading things, the short story is that I put mazes on the ceilings. And it looked good. I made a lot of mistakes. I did some things I'll probably NEVER do again unless somebody asks. But it looked good. And it looked even better when I painted it. This site is dedicated to putting mazes on ceilings. All you have to do is contact me, and I'll put a maze on as many or as few ceilings as you want. I'll put straight ones, traditional ones inspired by the ancient Romans and Hebrews, round ones inspired by nature (and sometimes alcohol)... if it's a maze, I'll do it. I'll put mazes in your house, apartment (better ask your landlord/lady first), townhome, business, outhouse, garage, dog house, I'll even do what I can to put a maze in a bird cage. That sounds like fun -- somebody contact me and ask to have a maze put in your bird cage. And don't think mazes are just for the ceilings. Oh no, I don't discriminate. If there isn't a maze there, that's just because we haven't thought to put one there yet. Mazes can be applied smooth, raised, rough... let's just say there's a thousand and one ways to maze and leave it at that. Take all the time you like enjoying the site. Look around, imagine lying in bed and navigating a labyrinth. Picture coming home to an energetic, refined work of art that spans as far and wide as you can imagine it. Thanks for dropping by and I hope our paths cross one day soon - hmm, a maze pun. Yours,
