Artist using meat from pig (5)
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" .)
