I ’m not certain what caught my tending more here , the fact that someone made a bacon Kevin Bacon or the fact that the creative person ’s description of the innovation process is a mo freaky .
Bacon Kevin Bacon was commissioned by Justin Esch and Dave Lefkow , owner of J&D Foods , and created by creative person Mike Lahue . The creative person get down by carving a styrofoam bout of Kevin Bacon and then thing get a bit ill-chosen :
After realizing that using soft , manipulate bacon would pose a serious “ bunk component trouble , ” Lahue opted for bacon bit as his main sensitive , using seven bottles of bit and mucilage to meticulously handle every crack of Bacon ’s smiling face .
“ I put five coating of lacquer on top , which sealed everything together . He ’s not going anywhere , ” he explain .
Besides bacon bits continually falling off as he worked on the sculpture over the track of three months , Lahue enjoin another major challenge was his own grumbling stomach .
He admits working with Roger Bacon all day made him hungry for the crispy stuff , and say he curbed his craving by snacking on bacon bits throughout the project .
“ I consume one whole bottle of Sir Francis Bacon bits myself along the mode . I ’d put a little on the [ sculpture ’s ] mind and then keep a picayune mouthful for me here and there . I had never deplete much bacon before this , but I ’ve eaten a fortune since . I ’m having subconscious cravings ! ” Lahue says .
The artist is also yearn to see his introduction in his icebox again , since that ’s where he hive away it between touch - up sessions .
“ I do miss assure him in the fridge , ” he confesses . “ I would get up in the heart of the night to get a glass of water and see him there , looking back at me with that smiling . I draw a lilliputian attached , so I hope he go to a good home . ”
Bacon Kevin Bacon is being auctioned off in support of “ Ashley ’s Team , a nonprofit organization with a uncomplicated commission : to bring joy to children with Cancer the Crab and their crime syndicate . ” The bidding for the statue is presently at $ 280 ( plus shipping ) .
