A couple days ago my favorite blogger, dooce, told an amusing story about how she scientifically and irrefutably proved that microwave-safe plastic bowls cannot withstand the magma-hot intensity of fresh bacon grease. Nice work, Heather. The world owes you big time for this mind-blowing discovery, and all the personal trauma you experienced as a result.

So today she thrilled me by posting a photo of my third-favorite dog, Chuck, balancing said microwave-safe bowl on his talented head, and labeling it “bacon art.” She also laughed at the idea of opening an Etsy shop dedicated to bacon art, or of dedicating a wall of her house to bacon art. Oh Heather, you have no idea…

I cannot believe how much bacon art there is to be found in this wacky world of ours. This piece here was on display at Bacon Camp in San Francisco in March. Ranging from beautiful to bizarre to downright ridiculous, bacon has opened up a whole new world for artists.

Case in point: Scott Ray Randall’s open call for bacon art. This is an ongoing project, and YOU can get involved! Between now and April 2010, Scott is collecting bacon art in any form: video, still life, free-style rap…you name it, just as long as it has bacon in it.

I’ve heard ideas and seen work from many of you RBS readers, and I think you’re just the people Scott is looking for. Go to his site, submit your work, and tell us about it, too! We’d love to see your creative side and share it with the world. Seriously, don’t you just love the internet?!

Make it work. Make it bacon.
