At the beginning of 2025, I started a business called Void Monster where I do monthly pre-orders of various trading card game accessories and apparel that I design. It started off really slow, but I mostly was just looking for a way to get the money back that I'd have to spend to make the shirts and playmats that I wanted to wear or use for myself, so low sales was fine. But it started building more and more over the course of 2025 and became much bigger than I expected it to become. We are now about 14 months into our business and have hit just over 3100 orders in total. It has been a lot of late nights and busy weekends that would be impossible to have done without @ghoulythings helping me every step of the way. @ghoulythings has handled all of our social media and the vast majority of our customer support and shipping/packaging and has been absolutely killing it. I still have my position at Blizzard so as orders each month became more and more, I needed all the help I could get. But even now, it is getting to the point that the two of us can't manage it on our own, so we recently partnered with a fulfillment center near Portland that will be helping ease our struggles with packing and shipping orders. It has just been such a crazy and wild endeavor, and it just keeps going. I'm very grateful for everyone who has supported us in building this and been encouraging of everything I've been making, it really means a lot. I'm very excited for the next steps, but a lot of this year is just getting used to not having to do all of this out of our house/garage anymore! I just wanted to say thank you all so much and I can't wait to get to work on more things for this!

Woo! @JayAxer killed it with this!

cEDH is a really silly format. It's fun, but I don't think it will ever be balanced or a viable competitive format.

I recently donated a sketched and signed Seedborn Muse artist proof to @StackUpDotOrg Dragon's Hoard #VeteransDay auction to help with their fundraiser. There are a ton of other great items too. Check it out if you're interested!

Alex Horley is on my Mount Rushmore of World of Warcraft artists. His work is so good at evoking how it felt to play this game growing up.

We out here at Blizzcon, only took 3 hours of standing in line

Thanks Breach the Bay for taking fancy photos of me while I try my best to not smudge my signature on people's very expensive cards 💜

Thank you to everyone who came by our booth at Breach the Bay! I really appreciate all the support people gave for my art and the work we've been doing on @_VoidMonster❤️We had a lot of fun going and hope to see you at the next one! Also, I have to show off the swag we got.

Here is the full illustration I did for the interior of @_VoidMonster NicDonald's deck box. Thanks for all the support from the Magic the Gathering community on my super serious stuff so I can do silly stuff like this in my spare time❤️

Woo! This drop is now live!

Thank you everyone for all the kind words on this image! This was one of the last images I got to do for Magic the Gathering before I started my job at Blizzard. I still love Magic though and make things for it and other TCGs @_VoidMonster . I appreciate all the support!💜

I just realized I never posted this art I did for the interior of the Spider-man prerelease boxes for Magic.
