[img=100611_NME.jpg]Lyrics from Green Day's American Idiot are featured in a new artwork exhibition at the Stolen Space gallery in London.

It's a pretty cool looking piece. This was posted on NME.com:

[quote]Lyrics from classic songs from the likes of Muse, Green Day and Radiohead have been turned into artwork and are on display as part of an exhibition to celebrate 200 years of Warner/Chappell Music.

The exhibition is currently taking place at the StolenSpace gallery in east London, with all the prints on display also available for sale. Profits from any sale are being donated to charity. You can see examples of the artwork at the top and bottom of the page.[/quote]
You may remember Green Day hosted their "Art Of Rock" commissioned show at the Stolen Space gallery in October 2009 during their UK tour (example piece below).
