Artist Mike Lahue worked with a medium we relate to when he created a bust of actor Kevin Bacon made out of ...bacon! A Seattle company that makes bacon products, J & D Foods, commissioned the sculpture.

Since owners Justin Esch and Dave Lefkow live by the motto "everything is better with bacon," the duo -- in partnership with bacon-crafting website What Do Bacon Do? -- decided to commission an artist to make a life-size bust of Kevin Bacon entirely out of bacon.

Why, you ask?

Well, they ask, "Why not?"

Actually, there is a good reason. The bust is going up for sale on eBay this afternoon to benefit Ashley's Team, a group that helps children with cancer and their families. Link -via Fark
