The talented artist has been known to make use of [junk items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-logo-remix) and this time, he's using material quite reflective of his subject: weed. Mecier's Snoop Dog Marijuana Portrait is made entirely out of [marijuana joints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabisthemed-lighter), leaves, stems and what appears to be hashish. The backdrop is surrounded by rolled up joints, while Snoop himself is immortalized in a wonderful green to gain the attention of Snoop fans everywhere. It's unsure whether or not Mecier got a marijuana permit to make this design, but at least it's creative. Here's to hoping this innovative portrait remains on the right side of the law longer than Snoop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cannabis Art:** The intersection of marijuana culture and artistic expression provides opportunities for innovative cannabis-infused art pieces. - **Sustainable Art:** The use of junk items and recycled materials for artistic expression offers opportunities for sustainable and eco-friendly artwork. - **Celebrity Art:** The use of popular figures in art pieces offers opportunities for unique and highly marketable celebrity-inspired artwork. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cannabis Industry:** The growing cannabis industry can utilize cannabis-infused art pieces to complement their branding and increase their appeal to customers. - **Art Industry:** The art world can take advantage of the sustainable and eco-friendly trend in artwork to promote themselves as socially responsible entities. - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry can explore the celebrity art trend to promote their stars and extend their outreach beyond traditional means such as film or music. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rapper-Honoring Cannabis Strains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-row-records-cannabis.md) - [AI-Designed Treat Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hempacco.md) - [THC-Infused Snack Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snazzle-os.md) - [Dispensary-Cafe Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swed.md) - [Rapper-Branded QSR Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snoopadelic-shake.md) - [Miniature Artful Hip-Hop Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danny-cortes.md) - [Smokable Art Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-by-edie-parker-1.md) - [Cannabis Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-ez-reach-lighter-supper-club.md) - [Rapper-Endorsed Flame Stove Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blunt-marketing-campaign.md)
