ROLEMODELS Exhibition Opening Reception & the Battle for Vyk' Tornaahl Game
We'll be having the biggest, craziest party ever for the Rolemodels opening reception on Friday, October 25th! A celebration fit with Flagons of Mead, Costumes Galore, and Standard-Bearers for the four kingdoms of Vyk' Torhaahl! You can get your photo taken alongside the heroes and lands or learn to play the card game alongside your allies and foes! Come see the RPG alter-egos of our creative role models - along their stats, their allies - and get to know them through their choices of class, alignment, statistics and lore.

Make sure to get your costumes ready, as we'll be having costume contests throughout the night for more chances to win the Battle for Vyk' Tornaahl Card Game!

THE RULES and other stuff:

The decks will be shipped to our four winners free of charge! (The game and the shipping is on us!)

You are welcome to enter more than once : if you are interested in sharing more of your favorite artists, or care to share our post another day - but you can enter only once per day, and must share new creative role models, and re-post the blog entry. It will increase your odds of winning, but each person is only able to win once.

In the event that we have a winner that can not attend the workshop we will bestow the VIP seat upon the runner up.

Thanks for your help in telling us about your own role models & for assisting us in spreading the word of our biggest event of the year! You guys are amazing! Best of luck and please let us know if you have any questions!

Words of Advice

Whether it’s finding the strength to roll out of bed in the morning or climbing a mountain, everyone needs a little bit of motivation from time to time. Here at Light Grey Art Lab, we asked many different people all around the world to share their favorite uplifting quotes with us through our You Can Do It, Put Your Back Into It show. From silly to spiritual, everyone was able to bring something exciting to the table.

At our show opening, we reached out to the community once more, and asked those who visited to give us “the best piece of advice they had received or heard.” As thanks for these extra bits of inspiration, we’re giving two lucky advice-givers a print from our show, for the best words of wisdom we received. Here is what they said:
