Snoop Dogg Collage Painting Materials

The next installment of the hip-hop series takes a trip to the West Coast. Grab your gin and juice, cuz portrait was the case that they gave me.


Snoooooooop.

Snoop with Braids

This is the primary (if I cannot get a model to sit for a portrait, I use several photographs) image I decided to use as inspiration for the Snoop portrait. It is actually a single photograph with the addition of braids from what I like to call, “Gettin To It Snoop”. After some helpful Twitter discourse on which image to use, Jeremy Block came up with this smart augmentation via Facebook — skills for a Blue Devil.

Snoop Getting To It

This picture was appealing, but there is something about a sharp Snoop that resonates.

So I chopped the braids from Gettin To It Snoop and added it to Smooth Snoop. In a minute (minute = much longer than 60 seconds) Snoop will be joining the growing series.
