J&D Foods, a US company specialising in bacon products, has commissioned an artist to create a larger-than-life-sized bust of actor Kevin Bacon out of bacon.

The piece — which took three months to make — is called Bacon Kevin Bacon and comprises of a Styrofoam core covered in dried “bacon bits” a bacon-based crunchy salad topping. These were glued onto the bust and varnished to ensure longevity. It measures around 60 centimetres high and sits atop a marble base.

J&D Foods’ co-owner Justin Esch told AOL: “It should be in art gallery somewhere, but it would also look nice on a coffee table. I think it’ll tie together any room nicely. Bacon makes everything better, including art.”
