That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 31, 2015

Don’t ham it up too much. Spectators might suspect that the fight is fixed.

“The first cut is the deepest…”

I’m comin’ Elizabeth!

Darn. I thought this reality show was about losing weight.

First Italian dive.

“Well, when the director said ‘Cut’, I thought he meant……..”

Man, I hate when that happens! OUCH!

Doc, I’ve got this stabbing pain in my side!

tis just a flesh wound

“I’m ready for my close up now, Mr. DeMille.”

I should have listened when they told me about the fish sauce in the gladiators’ mess hall.

Especially,for the appendixes on the left side !

“Anybody have a TUMS?”

Until I enlarged the pic, I thought that was one weirdly shaped ballerina (and tutu) in the background.

Cross Fit Games sudden death tie elimination.

A somewhat enlarged image can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry (yesterday). Again, it is a cropped image. A full, maybe-click-to-enlarge image can be found, starting here (Bing translated).The Dying Gladiator isn’t, as far as I can tell, shown online by its current-location (Chrome can automatically translate, Google translation loses map).At least that’s where this (Google translated), found starting here (Google translated), says this oil on cardboard, roughly 15% larger than US letter size, painting is. The artist’s (Google translated) Wikipedia page (Google translated Russian Wikipedia page has much more) and collection.Fourth, of the 4 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here (4 total).P.S. For those interested, I’ve since added a bit more info about the painting yesterday.

“No fair! His isn’t a FAKE sword!”

“It only hurts when I laugh!”

Fantastic comments everyone! (Including yours of course Steve ; )

Another work by this artist can be found here.
