Taking inspiration from the fan favorite show Star Trek and using one of its most famous characters Spock, Jesse Azarin has created a hilarious collection of [paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining). Besides the obvious comedic factor, there is no joke at how talented of an artist he is. Azarin has been able to create a terrific, realistic-looking Spock -- and also some yummy-looking bacon. The funny factor becomes even more apparent due to the look on Spock’s face: it is the perfect combination between confidence and quizzical. These would make an excellent addition to any Trekkie's home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bacon-inspired Art:** Combining bacon with art to create funny and unique pieces. - **Fan-inspired Art:** Creating art inspired by popular fandoms to appeal to niche audiences. - **Realistic Oil Paintings:** Using realistic oil painting techniques to create unique and detailed pieces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** The art industry can capitalize on niche fandoms to create unique pieces that appeal to specific audiences. - **Food Industry:** The food industry can collaborate with artists to create food-inspired artwork that appeals to food enthusiasts. - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry can license art inspired by popular media to appeal to fans and create new revenue streams. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Bacon-Scented Fragrant Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wright-n-100.md) - [Hot Sauce-Paired Bacons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hormel-1.md) - [Bacon-Themed Pancake Specials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-graceland-pancake.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Whiskey Expressions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-spirits.md) - [Ready-To-Cook Bacon Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildflour-bakery.md) - [Expansive Bacon-Themed Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baconfest-lineup.md) - [Cinnamon-Bacon Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-toast-crunch-bacon.md) - [Celebratory Bacon Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-cake.md)
