That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 28, 2021

Shinzo saw his chance to do his part to stop Artificial Intelligence taking over the world.

The horse was told that if it couldn’t make the jump with an eight hundred pound robot on its back the jockey will shoot it.

No actual jockeys were harmed in this jump-by shooting event.

Roger went postal when the the robo-jockey that took his job started showboating, making a mockery of all human jockeys everywhere.

That painting is so unrealistic – there are no guns in Japan.

What you can’t see is that the horse is also a robot, a la ‘Terminator’

Newest game at the carnival, “Hit The Stunt Tin Man.” If you knock him off the leaping horse, your prize will be a heart transplant. If you miss, flying monkeys take you where you don’t want to go.

If we ever have Burning Man again, this is my concept for a sculpture called, "Et tu Equus?

“I Robot,” “National Velvet,” and “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” all rolled into one bizarre painting.

Things are different in Japan/ they’ve a slightly longer life span/ and dressage is done/ at the point of a gun/- so a robot replaces the man.

“Emma Peel…Is that you?”

Art-wise, we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel today…

“Stop right there or I’ll shoot” By Morimoto Dali

No comment…..

Modeling for Koga is a bloody nightmare.

I SAID it’s MY turn!

Oh, what to paint today? Horses, robots, guns, dead trees, jockeys with bowlers?

‘One of these things is not like the other….some of these things do not belong.’

And the winner for best Stunt Work by a Robot, in an Animal Documentary is……….

“I don’t know what’s going on, but I definitely want to see this movie!”

The first Steampunk Olympics experimented with new events.

Bah! I had this idea years ago – only i combined the winter biathlon with ski jumping. I also suggested sending the speed skaters down the bob sled track, 30 seconds ahead of a bobsled. Two competitions in one. Did I mention my idea to do the figure skating competition while the hockey game was ongoing?

Harue Koga is one strange dude

Little known Japanese custom: Shoot all robots waving hi.

Did the artist have the ‘mushroom’ pizza for breakfast?

I do wish they’d restrict the Olympic Games to games and sports and leave out the exhibitions

Is this what social interactions will look like when we return to the post-quarantine “new normal”?

It can probably safely be said/ that the rules have been badly misread/ for the guy who took third/ is freshly interred/ and the gold medal winner is dead.

If the Olympics were to eliminate all the events derived from war or military training those would be two of the many to go.

To protect the horses from the possibility of infection, there will be no human riders.

Great title. I love these.

That is one weird painting.

During the planning stages of Japan’s invasion of China, all manner of armored suits were put through very stringent testing. Ultimately however, the invasion troops who survived the testing just went in with their usual silk-blend uniforms.

They had that kind of rifle, and a robotic metallic man in Japan in 1931?

No horse will be harmed in this event.

He’s going to shoot a robot standing on a horse jumping in a competition with a Thompson Sub Machine Gun. That is very abstract art……

With so many of these paintings that TIP shows, I’m left wondering, what the h@@@ was the artist thinking?

The latest movie version of ‘The Lone Ranger’ had minor deviations from the traditional story.

Aw … yes. I remember when robots had hand cranks to get them started.

The good ol’ days …

Honey … when you get home; I have a “to-do” list for you!

Hmmm. I better find things to do.

Jane, stop this crazy thing!

From the artist’s title, this picture appears to represent an extreme form of censorship.
