In order to do so, you will probably have to use the pen tool and make a path, sort of like tracing parts and estimating other parts. There is another way, much longer, but with a more precise end result...use that big ole round brush in decreasing steps to produce a series of rings, then make a series of lines radiating out from the center. This should leave you with a circular grid so then just go back and erase the parts that need erasing to make the maze. Third way is to just find some circular mazes and scan em in and resize em

If you put it in a large enough canvas you should be able to run it through a polar map to get it bent. I tried it in gimp and got acceptable results.
