Yeah, that's a pig ("Mortimina") carved out of Spam. My friend Tonya had her birthday last night with the theme "Whitetrash Birthday." So we carved Spam, and I went for the ironic item with some help from Alisia (The ears were her handy work). We didn't win the competition though, Tonya gave it to her brother's girlfriend...damn nepotism.
Looking at my art, or "Spart," this morning I'm not exactly proud of it. It's really gross.
I'll be back later today...

Actually, I find it oddly interesting.
Are the piglets carved too?
No. For some reason my friend owns a few small plastic pigs, so we couldn't pass up a chance to actually use them for something.
So what's next?
Hey - wait - I own a piglet like that. Mine is singing (I think).
What a fascinating piece. Very intriguing. Might I venture a guess that the suckling pigs represent the draining of time as another birthday passes and we inevitably grow one year older. And the spam, since it is a conglomerate of many meats and materials represents the experiences that make up the previous year.
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Also: this is making me very hungry. This disturbs me greatly.
Tom, you've completely misinterpreted my spart. You have no escape, make your time.
OK. Let me be the first to point out the irony of having a spam comment show up on a post about spam.
Also... links about WoW? Really? Not male enhancement schemes or cheap viagra? Gold farming and power leveling... somehow spam has hit a new low.
