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.

Mike's new DC remix shoe will also be available starting July 1. To see a sneak peek of the new DC remix shoe designed by Shinoda, check out his blog here. All proceeds from sales of his artwork and footwear go toward the Michael K. Shinoda Endowed Scholarship at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.

A second show entitled Glorious Excess (Dies), will be featured in the Japanese American National Museum's Miyawaki and Watanabe Galleries January 24 through March 22, 2009. Look out for more info on Glorious Excess (Dies) in the near future.
