Snoop Dogg has always been creative with his love for cannabis, but now he’s taking it to the art world. The rap icon teamed up with The Joint Venture to launch “Ashes to Art,” a collection that transforms the ashes and smoked roaches from his personal blunts into unique works of art.

Each piece is preserved in resin, glitter, and pigment before being signed by Snoop himself. Artist and Joint Venture co-founder Erica Kovitz designed the series, which includes standout works like “Tiphany Smokes,” featuring three roaches stretched across a canvas, and “DoggyStyle Decoded,” which showcases Snoop’s debut album framed with a roach and ashtray.
Other pieces in the collection include “Orange Chill,” “Pocket High Emerald,” and “White Whisper.” The rarest so far is “Snoop Doggy Dogg Genesis Burn,” which incorporates his 1993 LAPD mugshot and is the only artwork signed with his retired “Snoop Doggy Dogg” signature. That piece is already bidding at $70,000. Another, “Golden Hour Cipher,” has already sold for $12,500.
Prices start at $9,000, and every piece is one-of-one with a certificate of authenticity. The auction closes Monday, August 18th, at 5 p.m. PDT, and fans can bid at 32auctions.com/snoopdogg.
