The latest issue of my newsletter drops tomorrow. It’s called, “Pinches, Plans, and Phantasms.” In it I discuss some personal challenges I’ve been going through, my next show, 3x3 updates, and my Inktober plans. Interested? Subscribe here: linktr.us20.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=...
It’s hot today and I wanted to share my 3x3 of Gambit and Rogue who are also hot. Original sold.
The #SDCC train doesn’t stop! I finished the very first 3x3 for Comic-Con 2026. The quest to finish 50-100 begins today!
BTW, I love how small these pieces are. As you’ll see in the last photo, they’re the size of half of my thumb. So tiny!
It’s Wednesday and you know what that means! #WonderWomanWednesday (Is that a thing? It is now). Wanted to share my 3x3 Absolute Wonder Woman that debuted (and sold) at SDCC. Almost kept it for myself, though I’m very happy that it found a new home.
Happy #NationalDogDay! Enjoy this doodle of my doodle.
Got a fresh batch of “Take a Hike, Mister Bones” for future events and my store after selling out at SDCC. Thank you so much for supporting my original character. 🎩💀
The list begins.
Thanks! I’m so glad I stumbled into that as I feel it brings more visual interest to it.
I mocked up my #Daredevil print as a Marvel Comics cover and I think that it could be an awesome variant. @marvelcomicshqs.bsky.social, hit me up and let’s do this! 😂
Fun fact: my 5x5 Daredevil print was a happy accident! I started with a simple DD illustration w/braille design, but after playing with the layout, the braille turned into a cityscape. This gave it its title, “Devil in the Details.” Might even mock it up as a comic cover. 🤔
Recently shared my 3x3 of Huntr/x, so it’s only fair I show off Derpy Tiger and Sussie too. The moment I saw Derpy, I knew I had to illustrate him. Original art sold.
Inosuke invaded my logo ideation! Started watching Demon Slayer for the first time with my kid and I immediately gravitated to this character.
Working on logos today and what I love most is the challenge of distilling meaning and telling a story through a single mark. If done well, it’s an amazing feeling.
Huge congrats to KPop Demon Hunters for becoming Netflix’s second most-watched movie in history! Incredible original story + amazing music = pure inspiration. Love seeing original properties get this much love! 🙌🎶 Original art sold.
Awesome! Congrats!
Noted! Thank you, sir!
Taking me back with Mac Tonight here! 🌙
The 3x3 Framed Originals were a crowd favorite at #SDCC, and I couldn’t be more grateful. 🖤💛 I’m making my list for next year and want to hear from you… 👉 Who should I draw for next year’s batch?
…DO IT, SETH! Had to illustrate this particular scene from #severance the minute I saw it. IYKYK. Brush and ink with screen tone on mixed media paper. Original art sold at SDCC.
Yesterday was Transformers: The Movie’s 39th anniversary. This movie meant so much to me as a kid and even now as an adult. I wanted to post my recent 3x3 Optimus Prime with Arm Cannon art to celebrate. Prime is my dude! Original art sold.
Even in darker moments, a little color can change everything. Here’s to more art, more chances, and maybe next year’s yes.
“A Touch of Color” I’ve wanted to be part of Gallery Nucleus’ Power In Numbers show for years. This year, I finally made the time — but didn’t make the cut. That’s okay. At SDCC, it found a new home with someone who truly connected with it, and that’s what matters most.
Right on. I can be very impatient with this and it leads to frustration, only because I have deadlines to meet. But totally hear ya’. Thanks, man. 🤝
Sorry to hear that! Good to know that it took you a few days to get back to it. I’m feeling hopeful about it.
Hey! I’m getting notified that orders are being delivered! Don’t forget to check your mailboxes for the goods. Thank you!
Ouch! Mine is upper shoulder/neck area. All recommendations are welcome so thanks again!
Oh wow. Walking the dog and getting work done at the desk has been challenging. Will definitely take note of your experience. Thanks, again!
Thanks, bud! How long did it roughly take for you?
Been in pain for a few days and had to go to Urgent Care today. Turns out I have a pinched nerve. If you had it before, any tips or tricks on navigating it? Thanks!
Final numbers from #SDCC ’25 are in! Here are my Top 5 products from Comic-Con this year (excluding 3x3s and Maze Mystery Boxes). Thank you so much! 🗯️ Metric: Units sold.

After SDCC and seeing Demon Slayer everywhere, I decided to watch it for the first time with my son (who is a big fan of it). I’m digging it so far!

#SDCC 25 is a wrap! Celebrated my 20th year as an exhibitor with my best show yet. Debuted new work, sold out of key pieces, had a wild (but fun) line, and felt the love. Big thanks to my wife, Reeny, best bud, Gerico, @sdccblog.com and all of you who made it unforgettable. Beyond grateful! 💛

Though not brand new, these prints from last fall have been surprise hits at #SDCC — “One Thing at a Time” and “J-Bee” (yes, that’s a realistic Jollibee). It tickles me knowing that people are discovering them. 🙏 Interested? Visit booth 2103, Dial R Studios/Chris Maze.

So which wellness note speaks to you? (I'm bottom left 🤦🏽♀️) @chrismaze.com #SDCC
I’m bottom left also! That’s my favorite since a good chunk of us have been there before. Thank you!
I’m going to share something deeply personal real quick. I wrote this down in May when I was at a real low point. I wrote that I was “looking for a win.” Well tonight at #SDCC, folks…you all gave me that win. Thank you so, so much!

Some lucky (?) person will receive this silly sketch that I did after the first Fantastic Four trailer was released. It was turned into a print for the Maze Mystery Box. (I'm sorry) More Maze Mystery Box news to come later today!
The first drop of prints was six years ago when I went all in on myself and started my art business. Time flies.
Thanks so much for doing that!
I absolutely love creating these 3x3 Framed Originals! There’s something about the challenge of capturing a character’s essence at such a tiny scale that I love. Each piece is about the size of a thumb, as shown here Get them at #SDCC starting on Preview Night.

20 Years a Con Artist at #SDCC 2005: College kid with no clue behind an SDCC table, just making comics with friends. 2025: Grayer, (maybe) wiser, and still creating. I run my own shop & still roll with Dial R Studios. Thanks for being part of the ride! You make it all worth it.
