The Louisville Visual Art Association held a “Bacon Ball” recently.  The event was a fundraiser for the association, and had artists making pork and bacon associated art.  Of course, bacon featured prominently in the food and drink served.

For some reason, I was not invited.  I’m not sure why.  I support the nation’s pork producers and smoke houses as much as the next guy.  I love bacon in all of its heavenly forms.  Maybe it’s because I don’t have an artistic bone in my body.  But I think for pork, I could do it:

• Sculpture – Bacon diMilo
• Portraiture – DaVinci – “Mona Carnita”
• Murals – DaVinci – “The Last Slim Jim”
• Impressionism – Renoir’s “Girl with a Sausage”
• Pointillism – Seurat’s “A Sunday on La Grande Boston Butt”
