TheArtCollectors Review

August 31, 2009

Glorious Excess (Dies) got a glowing review by world-class art collector and critic, Ronnie Pirovino today. Here’s what he had to say:

“LA’s Japanese American National Museum is now hosting a prodigious art exhibition by Mike Shinoda entitled Glorious Excess (Dies). The massive creative effort is a pivotal point in the career of the young artist, as he establishes himself outside of his work in music. Shinoda’s adroit use of all types of media to channel his voice is remarkable. The show signals the artist’s ability to create his vision in a plethora of mediums, including digital platforms. It’s clear that the concept of the exhibition has been thoughtfully embedded into each rendition. It’s not too early to opine that Glorious Excess (Dies) provides one the year’s most memorable moments. On view until October 4.”

There are a ton of great images from the show on theartcollectors.com. A special thanks goes out to Ronnie for coming to the show.

Shinoda+Metric Remix: GOLD GUNS GIRLS

August 30, 2009

Thanks to everyone who came out for last night’s Glorious Excess (Dies) opening; images of everything are on the way today.

In the preview video for GLXS, some of you noticed a song by Metric in there. I mentioned the band Metric a long time ago…http://www.mikeshinoda.com/comments/recommended_music-music_business/metric_talks_about_self_releasing_album…and some of you know I like their music. Their album “Fantasies” contains a song called “Gold Guns Girls.” When I first heard it, I thought: this is like a theme song for Glorious Excess!

Well, I contacted the band, and (to make a long story short) I remixed the song. With their blessing, it’s now on the “music” page here on mikeshinoda.com http://www.mikeshinoda.com/music

If you like this song, check the band out at http://www.ilovemetric.com/. The band will be making the song available to fans soon…but you’re getting the exclusive here first!

Shinoda Customized Honda Motorcycle

August 30, 2009

At the show, some of you may have noticed the crazy Honda roadster on display with the hand-painted “additions” in pink…that bike was donated courtesy of one of the show sponsors, Honda. The motorcycle is actually being auctioned off for charity (JANM) this week. The bids started at $18K US, and ends in 5 days. If you want to buy a motorcycle designed and hand-customized by me, now is the chance. (I even signed it in hot pink Krink)

Here’s where to bid:
