MASTURBACON!

Yeah, that's right, I combined the words "masturbation" and "bacon" for the title of this post.  I've been locked in a solitary obsession with (fake) bacon lately and this seems like as good a word for it as any.

My point being: remember the waffles and fake bacon I made a while back?  For the past week or so I've been busy perfecting my bacon design* even further...and also figuring out how to make eggs.

When I look at this picture I crave breakfast, so I'm calling this a success.

Let's take a nice close look at the New and Improved bacon, shall we?

Basically I tweaked the colours a little, making the meaty part less maroon than before and the fatty part a bit more yellow.  Also, I made the ends of each strip a bit irregular instead of leaving them totally square.  I think it works really well!

I'll put some fake breakfasts for sale in my store as soon as figure out a few details about packaging, shipping costs, etc. Also, as good as these items look on a plate, the real genius of them is that they're wall-mountable - imagine the double-take your guests would make if they walked into your kitchen to see bacon and eggs in gravity-defying suspension over your breakfast table! - so I definitely need to take some pictures of them hung up.



*Full disclosure: I haven't eaten red meat in years (although I love and miss bacon very much, hence the attempts at homage) and The Boy is a vegetarian.  My prototype bacon was slightly "off" because I was working purely from memory.  This round, however, is the result of actual research.  What did artists ever do before Google Image Search?
