"AWESOME!" is but a gentle word to describe your perfect portrayal of the MALE physic! I had the immense pleasure of stumbling onto your webpage and sat for hours going through each and everyone of your work! As an abstract artist I couldn't help wishing that I'd turned my hand towards your style of portraying beauty! Thank you for sharing your love of art on the Net with me!! My best regards and best wishes to you, Leon

Excellent work...beautifully drawn and composed, and sensual without being gross or vulgar.
--A.P., Art Curator, California
Received my order and the prints simply reinforced my first impression from the web. I am more than pleased and even more impressed by your skills in many media. I will treasure the drawings and hope to be able to add to my collection. In the meantime I will frequently revisit your wonderful web site.

My name is Lilly and I am also an Artist... I have been visiting this Gallery for about a year now, so I can LEARN from the Master... I think Douglas' Art is just BREATHTAKING, I adore the way He Draws the male figure... I am HONOURED to know such a Talented and, I think Kind, Generous and Warm Soul as Mr. Simonson... (Even if it is through the internet, I consider Douglas my Artist Friend in Cyber Space.)... Douglas, Thank you for your lovely art, I have learned so much, and I am still learning... I always come back to This gallery of THE BEST ART on the internet... Sincerely grateful, Lilly Antoneavic...

Bueno bueno, Pero que trabajo maravilloso! Nunca en mi vida ( esta bien tengo 18 años) había visto un trabajo tan peculiar. . .
El conocimiento de la figura masculina es perfecto, y el mensaje es tan profundo como simple: la inocencia, la ternura, la fragilidad, la exquisita invitación al tacto de la figura masculina!
Miradas van, miradas viene, otras se sostienen en el artista, pero siempre con una determinación casi cruel, dignas de ser plasmadas . . . Douglas es un genio!!!!

Your work is very beautiful, and your sense of aesthetic quite seductive. Really makes one want to live with your art.

I placed an internet order last Thursday, and lo and behold it was in my hands on Friday. On an island where I'm used to not getting anything timely, I was mildly stupefied. Thanks for the great service. P.S. Your website is well designed and, unlike many, it is extremely easy to navigate.

Thanks for many hours of pleasure

I loved visiting your gallery. You have wonderful artwork displayed. I purchased 3 pencil drawings and love them more and more. Your work is wonderful and refreshing. I am about to order another piece of work. I will have to take something down just to hang it!
--Clair Koetitz, Midland TX
Thanks for your outstanding efforts to record a very special form of beauty that you continually capture so well.

Good Morning from Okinawa...THANK YOU! for expressing your talent in such a provocative and natural way. Three of your artistic adventures are in my house, (well more if you count the calendars), and it fills my soul each and every time that I look at them. The most recent one, Bird of Paradise, has been recently framed, and it's difficult for me to keep my eyes off it. The Hawaiian Wildlife is hanging over a mini bar in the dining room, and the Vietnamese guy is in the computer room...THANK YOU, once again, for sharing yourself and your talent with the world. It truly is a better place because you are in it, and because you appreciate what true beauty has to offer everyone.

As a true art lover, I believe Douglas Simonson's artworks are some of the best in his genre. His talent to capture the essence of tropical paradise is beyond any other's. My collection is growing and I have given many as gifts to friends. I will always be a patron of his works. Mahalo to my Buddie, Douglas!

Your work is absolutely incredible!!
--Robert Atria,
I personally have been incredibly moved by the Simonson art I've experienced. I've been experiencing it for years, and I never tire of it. My favorite is of Jordan eating Raisin Bran, and next is probably Coffee on the Couch with PJ & LR. But I love them all. And I love sharing them with my friends. I always hear wonderful comments about your abilities, and I echo them. Keep up the good work big brother.

I have been a fan of your work for a long time, I myself am an artist...I love all the works that you have done with Dallas. You made me fall in love with him. And that series with J&R.... wow..... I just had to have one (drawing)...I wish that I could afford more but this was a birthday gift to myself...I look at your work like a museum; some of your images are like old friends that I love to look at over and over.

...I own five of your ltd. edition prints and enjoy each of them every time I look at them. The ability to create beauty is a wonderful and necessary thing. Whenever I look at the world and get depressed your work reminds me that mankind does have redeeming features. I hope that, at some point in time, we can get our collective act together. I wish there was more emphasis on culture and art in the schooling system in North America to give more people the ability to appreciate art.

Douglas, your works are so sunny. Thank you for existing! The greatest is for me "Mustapha's Garden" ...testim.dat
--G.K., Wroclaw, Poland
I can't believe I came across this site. I too am a pencil artist of the male form. What an inspiration to come across Douglas's site. I love his work as do many others. But for me I get even more charged up to do my own work when I see something this beautiful. I'm beside myself right now just admiring his work. I can't wait to see more.

All I can say is: Dallas - WOOF!
