Mitt Romney's 'Dungeons And Dragons' Makeover In New Art Exhibition

Mitt Romney's 'Dungeons And Dragons' Makeover

Last night Mitt Romney won the Iowa Republican Caucus for the 2012 Presidential Primary, and roleplaying fans heartily rejoiced. Why? A new exhibition at the Soho Gallery for Digital Art has an exhibition 'Dungeons and Dragons On & Ever Onward ' that explores the notorious game's impact on our culture.

A striking portrait of Mitt Romney rendered as the elusive D&D character Lord Speldyall is the highlight of the exhibition. The piece is by Casey Jex Smith, who is a Brigham Young University graduate and whose previous solo show was titled "Gird Your Elves and Be Broken in Pieces." Honestly, we really can't get enough of Romney's majestic visage; he has both the boots of speed and the helmet of authority, you know. Even if he doesn't get the presidential nom, he will be remembered as a warlord, which should be an odd consolation prize for the GOP candidate.


'Lord Speldyall' by Casey Jex Smith. 9 inches by 6 inches, pen on paper.

The exhibition will, according to organizers, demonstrate "the roots of the connection between playing D&D and making art." It will run until January 11, so bring your hundred-sided die and get ready to battle.
