Mike will host his upcoming solo exhibition, Glorious Excess (Dies), at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles beginning August 29.

Following his highly-successful 2008 show, Glorious Excess (Born), Mike returns to the Museum to unveil his latest collection of paintings and digital works. Larger, broader, and more sensational than before, *Glorious Excess (Dies)* is the next chapter in his series exploring society’s obsession with celebrity culture, consumer addiction, and fascination with excess.

Open to the public, the reception for Glorious Excess (Dies) will take place on Saturday, August 29 from 8 to 10pm with Mike in attendance, and the show will be on view until October 4, 2009.

In an effort to help the victims of tragic bushfires in Victoria, Australia, a Fender Stratocaster guitar signed by Linkin Park and a Fort Minor poster signed by Mike Shinoda in addition to many other great items are being auctioned off. The fires left 210 people dead and 10,000 homeless Australia's worst natural disaster in more than a century.  Bid now on these one of a kind items and help those in need!

Last night was the opening of my new art show, Glorious Excess.  I'm proud of how the art came out, and was grateful to see such an amazing turnout!  Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, and everyone who showed up to check out the art and pick up some merchandise.  For everyone who wasn't able to be there, images and merchandise will be available at mikeshinoda.com in the next few days.

The show is open for viewing from now until August 3rd at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles (369 East First Street, Los Angeles, California 90012).

See you at Projekt Revolution!

Mike Shinoda is excited to announce his latest exhibition of artwork, titled Glorious Excess (Born) this July in Los Angeles!

Mike will be showing nine all-new pieces that blend his personal experiences in the spotlight with pop commentary and classical vanitas influences. Following a central character through various facets of celebrity life, the exhibition explores the motivations behind contemporary society's fascination with fame, excess and instant gratification: from the unique perspective of an outsider on the inside of rock superstardom.

If you're in Los Angeles, stop by the Japanese American National Museum on Friday, July 11 during 8-10pm for the Opening Reception & Autograph Signing! Special Glorious Excess programs will be available for purchase. Fans that purchase the program will have the chance to meet Mike at the special autograph signing and to get the program personally signed. Also, LP Underground members who purchase the program will have the chance at first-in-line passes.
