Hi, I just saw your old post for pre-ordering stalwart sun willy moon

Do you think it's possible to find a copy of it now ?

Thank you

Hi there! I've told many people over the past 2 years or so that if interest ticked up after the release of the finale, a 3rd printing could be a possibility. The finale's out now, so it's as good a time as any to repost the interest check form. I would need to order a minimum of 100 copies from the printer, so it's a tall order--but if you're keen, filling out the form is the best way to let me know!

06/03/26 update: we're about halfway to the 100-copy mark!

It’s well worth it, just sayin 😘

I don't think I've ever been more miserable playing a video game than I did with Elden Ring last year because my god I am *terrible* at it - but it was so effing gorgeous and the lore was too delicious, I muscled through it anyway. It was my first Souls game, I intend to play more, but I need a break first. I think Malenia was the most failed attempts that I've ever had in a boss fight, to the point that I'm still proud of myself for finally beating her 😂

y'all I am IN THIS ONE!!!

someone please put Iorek Byrnison in a 'i'm not a stepdad, i'm the dad who stepped up' tshirt alongside Lyra

"Iorek Byrnison" Watercolor on paper, 11x14", 2026.

For "Bibliophilia," opening April 8 at Quirky Fox Gallery

[dorywhynot]

"We Brought The Summer With Us"

Watercolor, 8.25 x 12.625", 2026

For "Restless Garden," a group show at @moderneden in celebration of Earth Day 2026 (with an opening on April 2, 6-9pm, if you're in the Bay Area!)

Inquiries for the original and the show: [email protected]

What I've been affectionately referring to as my dandelion druid has been a long time in the works. Originally inspired by a woven dandelion crown I found on a walk, he's gone through many different sketch iterations. I finally began committing him to paint last year for my solo show "Fruiting Bodies," and was sad that he had to be cut for time. Luckily I had an excuse to finish for Restless Garden.

[dorywhynot]

Couldn't resist showing a sneak peek of my next painting, which I *cannot* wait to unveil - it'll be on view at Quirky Fox in April as part of the group show "Bibliophilia". Full reveal soon!

"Forgives No One Just Yet"

Watercolor, 2023.

[dorywhynot]

We're in the throes of the first false spring here in New England, and while this isn't my first rodeo, the slightly longer days and warmer temps and melting snow have been thawing my heart. We all know it's likely going to get cold and crappy again before its here to stay, but the last few days has been a reminder that winter will end. If you get warmer or sunnier days where you are, GO OUTSIDE, even if its just for five minutes.

"Spectra" 2022. Watercolor on cold press. 11x15"

Original available / Prints

My first time experimenting with iridescence and snake scales, "Spectra" marked a big turning point in my relationship with broader color palettes and complex textures. I have a lot of really good memories of the painting process.

Your portfolio site is beautiful, it looks so good on mobile! Did you use a host site template or is it custom?

Thank you! Hearing the feedback for mobile is reassuring, I always forget to check mobile when I work on it :') I use squarespace, one of the super basic free templates, with some added customization tweaks.

[dorywhynot]

hello! your works 'the atlantic is an eldritch god' & 'wintergreen' are especially gorgeous & inspire a vision in me if that makes sense, i was wondering if you would ever consider doing a commission? (i cant afford rn but would like to potentially save up)

Thank you so much! I do take commissions, depending on my schedule and whether the project feels it would be a good fit. Here's the contact form on my website <3

"Flesh Wound" 2026. Watercolor on hot press, 6x6"

Original artwork available at Every Day Original

The banal viscera of the forest.

One of the smaller pieces that didn't make it into "Fruiting Bodies," but I'm glad I finished it.

I felt a little weird putting pieces like this out there in the first place because at first glance they feel so different from my usual work - they're not figure-based, they're slightly abstract. But.....to my eye, and feel, they're not a deviation at all, but paintings solidified in a different stage of the process. The "what inspires you, where do you get your inspiration from" question is difficult to answer because finding the description between too vague and too specific feels impossible. So much of how I see beauty in visceral decay comes from just...everyday shit, stuff I see in passing, because it's everywhere. "Flesh Wound," for example, is a bit of stump I passed on a walk, and the colors, the texture, the ripped fibrous lines. Just stuck with me. Wanted to paint it, so I did.
