"Look Punk Buy My Shoe ....Doggg"

Don't mash meh shoe

Snoop Dogg's Doggy Biscuitz

A billboard of the American Hip-Pop personality, Snoop Dogg, and the endorser of the shoe, Doggy Biscuitz at St. Anthony’s College grounds in Trinidad West Indies. The singer is cloaked as a figure head and dressed in a blue Mao jacket. His arms are extended as a Deity advertising a range of sporting gear towards young impressionable school boys. Owning a pair of Snoop's sneakers can cost over $900 dollars or at what ever means it takes to signify a rank and respect among your peers. Accidentally stepping or causing scuff marks on a new pair is a another matter resolved in the school yard.

Richard Bolai lives and works from Trinidad, West Indies. He is a bookbinder,Graphic designer and the author of thebookmann, which from 2004, has written and photographed independently aspects of Trinidad and Tobago's art culture.

In 2008, he began a series of self studies called Feinin which incorporated digital superpositions of artists who have left a mark in art history by using the internet as the core of reference. He also produced parodies relating to anthropological studies of Trinidad and Tobago, for example, folklore or observations of the society via class and stereotypes

The work then expanded by actually creating dimensional replicas, capturing a map over the subjects to explore the underling subconscious in the form of art. This aided the ability to analyze art by producing art parodies to understand the meaning behind it. No money was spent or assistance in producing these compositions from common items found in his home, a chair, a mirror, or old tyre.

The artists lists includes, da Vinci's Last Supper, Koons's dog, Hirst's spin paintings, Andres Serrano's piss Christ to Monet to name a few, over one hundred artists' have been completed, producing one in every 24 hour cycle.

It should be noted that with the feinin studies, you should see that actual work that is been parodied via the link. It makes no sense otherwise.
