Crossword Genius

Artist using meat from pig (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bacon

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'artist' is the first definition.
(painter Francis Bacon)

'meat from pig' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'using' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bacon that I've seen before include "Breakfast meat?" , "Pig meat N essayist" , "Shakespeare's ghost, some say" , "Cured meat from pig" , "See 9" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
