Don Simpson 2023 Pre-Holiday Book Mail Order!

HELD OVER—By popular demand, I am offering pre-holiday mail order on select books and comics (including the hitherto show-only VICTORY FOLKS, 2023) now through December 1, 2023 until the cows come home! I will be mailing out packages approximately once a week. You can mail me a personal check to me (below) or PayPal at donsimpsonart (please include PayPal fees; see instructions below). Books are personalized (autographed to your name, if you wish); headshots are available only on certain books with blank pages at an additional price.

Commission Artwork Price List, Fall 2023

Update: For the time being, I am only entertaining commission assignments from collectors wanting to own a piece of original comic art. I am NOT doing pinups, covers or variant covers, collaborations, freelance assignments, or renderings other people's IP for publication at the present time, including creator-owned IP, small press, big press, crowdfunders, etc. It is true that I have done such work in the past and may still have one or two pieces coming out from various third parties in the months ahead, but I have been turning down all such work for several months now. This is because of a very poor batting average I've had in recent years with various schnooks and some particularly terrible experiences in 2023 (I intend to blog about some of these soon). Nothing personal to all you creator-publishers out there; best of luck to you and stick with it! -- August 23, 2023.

2023 Show Schedule and Recent Commissions

For more original art and commission examples, see my Comic Art Fans gallery!*

Since 1984, I have been a guest of numerous comic book conventions and shows from coast to coast, and many of the convention sketches I have drawn over the years can be seen all over the internet. I've also drawn a growing number of commissions in my studio and either shipped directly or delivered at shows. Below are some of my most recent commissions from 2021 shows.

Recent Commissions Fall 2022

2022 was a strong year for Don Simpson personalized commissions! Thanks for your support! Hope you'll contact me throughout the holiday season and into 2023 with your requests! Here goes:
