Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda is also an artist, it turns out.

Shinoda will present his works at the Japanese American Museum in Los Angeles from July 11.

The exhibition follows "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".

Shinoda will be at the opening night of the exhibition of July 11 between 8 and 10pm. Fans who attend can have their program signed.

Mike will follow-up the 'Glorious Excess (Born) exhibition with 'Glorious Excess (Dies) in January 2009.
