Had a great time at Breach the Bay! Thank you to @dootlootig and @merliongames.ca for putting on the event, we were blown away by the reception and it means a lot. Also a huge thank you to @nerdcrafthq @cachorubione @juliedillonart @goldsabertooth @dungeon.ruins and @evynfong for all the super sweet swag!

Also a huge huge thank you to my lovely wife @ghouly.things for all of her help this weekend. I couldn’t have done this without her ❤️ by @forrest_i

The cover I did for the Dungeons and Dragons x World of Warcraft crossover was revealed! This was one of the most daunting illustrations I’ve ever worked on. Thank you to Blizzard and Wizards of the Coast for the opportunity!

Yesterday I got the first physical copy of my game I’ve been working on! It’s not a production level quality copy, but it is good enough to start playing it in person which is very exciting! Thank you to everyone who has played it and help get it this far. ❤️ by @forrest_i

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 @ghouly.things helping me every step of the way. @ghouly.things 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!
