Don Maitz has won three Hugo Awards and eight ChesleyAwards for his artwork. Admiration of his peers and fans has only increased after some 400 published works, one of which, “The Second Drowning” was used as the cover for the novel, “The Road to Corlay”, which won a silver medal at the Society of Illustrator's annual exhibition in 1980. That same year, Don received the Howard Award for Best Artist at the World Fantasy Convention.
In addition to doing covers for leading novelists such as Piers Anthony, Asimov, Ray Bradbury, C.J. Cherryh, Raymond E. Feist, Stephen King, Michael Moorcock, and Gene Wolf, Don's magic with the paintbrush produced the pirate image which launched Captain Morgan Spiced Rum into success in a marketplace where new products fail more often than not.
Don has shown himself willing to share his techniques, enthusiasm, and his inventive imagination by serving a year as a guest instructor at the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida.
