His peers in the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists have honored him ten times with a Chesley Award for outstanding achievement, and he has received a Silver Medal of Excellence from the Society of Illustrators.
Don Maitz has published two books featuring his own works, entitled First Maitz and Dreamquests: The Art of Don Maitz. FPG (Friedlander Publishing Group). Don has also been included in the first book of series concentrating on artists who publish in the realm of Fantasy.
