UPDATE 2: Turns out he's actually a decent musician too: http://bit.ly/1LfMzRt

UPDATE: Front page! I did some sleuthing (a google search). He apparently has a page which is quite entertaining for those interested: http://on.fb.me/1mtZAg1

An artist called Paz Dylan snuck a ton of doctored photos of himself into the grammy museum, ostensibly to protest the grammys not nominating any independent artists (this was pre-macklemore).

He pulled off the reverse heist so flawlessly that the pieces stayed up for more than a month before anyone noticed.

He took measurements and color samples of all the pieces nearby so his imposters would fit in perfectly with their surroundings

Dont know who these other artists are. The fake pic wouldn't even look out of place to me until...

Hot pockets for the win. I guess this just shows how many people actually read the captions in museums.

Famous Grammy Moments

This wall goes all the way around the middle of the museum and has a bunch of pictures depicting famous performances at the grammys.

Paz replaced a picture of Rihanna singing on stage with an exact replica photoshopped to include him back to back with her eating a taco.

Even though the photo looks ridiculous, the size shape and color all fit perfectly with everything around it. You'd never notice it was out of place until you read the caption.

History of Music Exhibit

There's a massive wall dedicated to the History of Recorded Music with tons of classic black and white photos. There's the "GUITARS" section that shows Les Paul playing the first electric guitar, the "KEYBOARDS" section, and so forth.

Paz added a new section called "BURRITOS." His captions are written in the same style and font as all the other ones. No idea how these went unnoticed for so long.

And the Pièce De Résistance...

This 20 lb. framed portrait was 4 feet high and was hung on the same wall as similar portraits depicting John Mayer, Santana and Loretta Lynn all cradling their Grammys.

Not only did the portrait fit in perfectly with all the other ones, the frame was the exact style, shape, color and size as the other frames DOWN TO THE 1/32nd OF AN INCH.

The massive size of the piece boggled grammy officials who could not determine how it was smuggled into the building.

It was the only one of the imposter items noticed by a museum goer who asked a security guard who "Paz" was. The security guard replied "I think he's in One Direction" and no questions were asked beyond that, despite the fact One Direction has never won or been nominated for a Grammy. Why no one just looked it up on their phone is beyond me.

Obviously the Grammys need to invite him on the show so he can have a REAL picture in the museum now with a caption detailing his antics
