Snoop Dogg portrait in marijuana by artist Jason Mecier

[Headbandf1]

Artist Jason Mecier has used candy, food, pills and the actual garbage of actual celebrities to construct celebrity portraits. This new Snoop Dogg portrait is made of marijuana joints, marijuana leaves and stems, and what looks to be hashish. The artist information says it's valued at $1,500. I wonder if it's legal to buy this thing without a medical marijuana permit? And what about the hash? I am not a lawyer, but I invite serious responses from persons who are, in the comments.
This work will be on display and featured in the new book La Luz de Jesus 25, as part of the 25th Anniversary of La Luz de Jesus Gallery.

Pretty neat but with all those joint butts it must reek...and not in the good way.

 

[schwilly]

Probably about the best thing you could do with a pound of mexi.

 

[Kush_Master]

snoop doesnt smoke joints only blunts!

 

[Sam the Caveman]

thats pretty bad

he could do much better with a variety of high grade stuff with different colors

 

[Puffaluffagus]

It actually looks like him, and that can't be easy to do using only that stuff

 

[longearedfriend]

doesn't look too much like him but kudos for the efforts

looks more like an alien of sorts

I have a hard time understanding all the publicity this guy gets

 

[nameless]

you guys really dont think that looks like him???? id be willing to wager you could show that to about anyone in the us and they would immediately know who it represents...i think its pretty damn good myself... and who says thats mexican weed?? granted it (weed) dosent look grand but some of my stuff gets pretty dark after a long cure and its obviously broken up in the image. i do agree that it would be cooler with a variety of buds making the image instead of a giant ashtray, but shit, its nice to see something other than the roach paper images, which i love btw.

 

[longearedfriend]

hmm

well it can look like him

 

[MacGyver420]

looks awesome; love the fact that the artist used weed as the medium i haven't seen that before. i can tell 100% that's snoop very very well done; i would love to see more.


also god damn thats alot of half smoked joints and roaches lol

 

[Headbandf1]

Its either Him or Coolio'

 

[Noobian]

Looks like a really really high snoop. His eyes could have used more detail but overall this is a great piece of art. Certainly wouldn't be smoking any of it LOL!

 

[Ramius]

Cool

 

[Brother Bear]

Don't look like snoop to me. Still kinda cool though

 

[sso]

id probably just smoke it if i ran out lol (hmm snoop hash..mmm)

 

[TacomaComa]

im not impressed. looks like something a highschool stoner art student would make.

 

[Friend]

personally i think it's a fairly accurate depiction

 

[HempHut]

It's a mosaic -- viewing from too close (like sitting right in front of a monitor) will actually lose detail. Try getting up and moving away from the monitor. It looks pretty good to me.

I'd almost certainly smoke the fucking thing, though. He'd be missing an eyebrow one day, then a lip, then he'd have a hole in his neck, and so on...

hahaha i guess it could be coolio too. makes me wish i had a bigger jar collection going right now id shred up something real quick to make a cool picture. guess i could make a fairly simple image, but id still dismantle and smoke it...

 

[trichrider]

imo looks like some mummy they dug up. but as a concept...stellar!
