Omega Ham: The Last Clown on Earth

I've been told the text says something like "GIANT HUMANOID ROBOTS WILL CLEANSE THE EARTH OF ALL SUCH CLOWNS! HAIL ROBOTS!" Anyone happen to know the source of this painting? (I don't, obviously, but I'd like to.) The robots are good, but the clown riding a pig takes it to exciting new places of giggling and clapping. (Thanks, mb01!)

Looks a bit like Michael Sowa, but not exactly his kind of content.

Kinda looks like something Eric Joyner would paint.

How can you go wrong with ham, giant robots and clowns?

Looks a whole hell of a lot like this guy. But it's not on his deviantart..? Hmm. A mystery.

Looks a bit like a Flaming Lips cover.

That, my friends, is an awesome piece of work.

It looks like Eric Joyner. Nuff said.

That clown needs to meet the title character from the old F&SF "last robot" series of covers.

Yeah, a t-shirt would be nice. Any chance of posting a higher res copy?

I got it on an anonymous image board (sort of like 4chan), so I have no way of tracking it down.

My Russian friend translates it slightly differently:
Human-like robots will clean the earth from all the clowns. Viva clowns!

I know this is an old post but I just ran on to it. The original is called "The Last of the Clowns" by Mark Bryan. You may be able to find it at Limited Addiction Gallery in Denver, CO.
