Happy Socks recently unveiled a special collaboration with Snoop Dogg in the form of a collection titled The Art of Inspiration. In a short film for the collection by his creative team Cashmere Agency, Snoop and a group of assistants enter a white room lined with canvases, and the rapper gets to work expressing himself.

"I’ve always felt like painting was something I wanted to do, but I just never had time to do it," says Snoop. "I think painting gives me an emotion like no other. I can cry while I'm painting, I can laugh while I'm painting, I can be serious while I'm painting." He explains that there are things that he can't and won't do as a rapper and actor that he feels free to do with his art because "there is no limit."
