A barren, flat expanse under a red-orange sunset sky. There is a glow of yellow light around the horizon. In the foreground, a person stands in front of a large metal box mounted on a pole, like an electrical box or a traffic light control box. Sticking out of the top of the box is a rall, complex mast that has boxes and antennae mounted on it. The door to the box is open, revealing a glowing green interior. The person is reaching into the box, doing something unclear. There is a windup clock key sticking out of the person’s back. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

Rainbows and storm clouds. #SanFrancisco
A bright rainbow between storms in San Francisco. The sky is blue, but the ground is wet. The view is of a street in the Mission district. A storm cloud splits down the sky on a rainy afternoon. Currently, most of the sky is blue, with the sun peeking behind a giant storm cloud to the west.

A desolate scene: Jesus, in a white robe and halo, sits in an armchair in a darkened apartment lit only by the white glare of a flatscreen television. The entire scene is a dull bluish-green. Hanging on the wall above are the letters “Happy Birthday”, and a few stars, all of which have the effect of making the scene appear even less festive than it would be without these decorations. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

A person wearing dark green pants, a red jacket with white trimming, and a red stocking cap with a white fringe pushes a large red package up a ramp. The package the size of a mini-fridge, and is tied with a white bow. The ramp it is being pushed up leads into a large red vehicle that looks like the sleigh version of a freight truck. White light glows from the interior of the sleigh. In place of wheels, it has heavy iron runners. The side has a gold border; the word “North”, probably part of “North Pole”, is written in large gold letters. The sleigh has a small orange light on what would be its bumper, and a larger glowing orange light in the top right. A light snow is falling. The background is gray. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

An odd, spherical, metal machine that looks sort of like a submersible hovers in a purple-pink space. The machine is a dull, dark, brassy color, with several pipe-like towers, protuberances, and antennae extending off of it. It has three round windows of varying sizes placed at haphazard locations. All of them reveal a glowing green interior. In one of them sits a cat. In the sky behind the machine are three blazing white-yellow objects that look like celestial bodies. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

An unsettling figure hustles through the fog in a dark blue scene. The figure wears a bright green mask: a craggy face with a heavily lined brow. The figure is wearing a heavy dark overcoat with two shiny buttons, and carries a reddish briefcase. It is eerily lit by two blurry streetlamps, one a yellow-green and the other an orangey yellow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A rocky surface sits under a blazing white sun in a yellow-green sky. Sticking up from the surface are three tall, blue, pole-like figures, planted in the rock. The figures look like carved tree trunks. Two have craggy, Viking-esque faces and long beards. The third, on the right, has a more abstract, minimalist face, more like a modern sculpture. All three of them have reddish coloring on their faces and beards, like faded red paint. They lean slightly towards each other, as though conversing. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A desolate yellow wasteland, under a desolate yellow sky. A white sun sits in the top left of the sky. Looming up from the ground is a haphazard structure that resembles a fireplace and chimney after the rest of the house has burned down around it. However, the structure is constructed in a diagonal manner that normal chimneys don't have. A crumbling column of brick lit a dull green by the sun, the structure has a few small rods and pipes sticking off of it. At the top of it, someone has spray-painted an eye and grinning mouth, which, combined with its overall shape, makes it look almost like a dinosaur. More graffiti covers the base. Where the fireplace would be is a small door. Hanging over the door is a small sign that simply says "Goal", the way the end-of-level indicators in Super Mario Land used to do. Sitting on the sign gantry is a black bird. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark, purple forest with straight, looming tree trunks. On the left, the trunk closest to the viewer has a complex network of roots spreading into the ground. Farther away trees are dimmed by fog. On the right, an eerie orange glow of afternoon sunlight filters through the trees. Illuminated by the sunlight is a small cemetery of several crooked crosses. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, narrow industrial structure stands in a green-orange meadow against a yellow sky. The building is made of concrete, is a dark blue-green color, and is the size and shape of a two-story phone booth. It has a number of pipes running up its sides. There is a small, barred door in the front, beneath a white light. There is a small fire-hydrant-ish thing in front of the door. The second story of the building has two narrow windows and looks like a Macintosh 128K computer with a Twiggy disk drive. Nothing is displayed on the screen. On the top of the building/computer are a few antennae. In the sky is a blazing white sun. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An eerie green sky, dominated by a giant dark planetlike sphere. The sphere is partially obscuring a blazing white sun, and the right side of the sphere is illuminated with greenish-yellow light. On the ground, a small figure stands on a dark, rocky slope. The figure is holding up a slingshot that it has just fired, as though the giant sphere eclipsing the sun was the projectile. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A blazing red sky, yellow at the horizon, and a rocky purplish hill sloping sharply to the right. Hurtling down the hill is a very large, round object that looks like an alien pocketwatch: dark blue, with glowing green characters and lines on its face, and several lines that look like clock hands. Barely managing to stay in front of it is a person about half the size of the watch. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dull, blue scene: in the foreground, a concrete bunker that consists of a cylindrical base with a tall, slit-like window and a second story that resembles a small round tower with a conical roof. At the top of the first story is a handrail, indicating a narrow walkway. The tower also has a small slitted window. The bunker is decrepit, with a few faded graffiti tags and some crumbling concrete slabs around the base. It sits in a barren, open area with a blurry treeline in the background. There are no signs of life except two birds above it in the otherwise empty sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small, blue, rocky path winds under a blazing yellow-green sky. Up ahead, the path is blocked by a small striped barrier and a dark sign that says "Ring for Service" in blue letters. Hanging to the right of the sign is a cord attached to a bell. The advice is complicated by the fact that the bell is attached to a vast, reddish-purple obelisk-shaped rock looming over the path. The rock is at an angle, and one tug on the cord would likely bring it all the way down. A bored crow sits on top of the rock, waiting for something to happen. The air is heavy with the impending future. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small blue car drives along a dim road on a cold winter night. Beyond the car is a dark blurry treeline. The sky is gray, with no stars, although there is a huge white crescent moon in the top left. To the right of the moon are two thin, tall radio towers with glowing red lights. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure stands in a bleak blue space wearing a bright red suit and tie. The figure's left hand is behind its back, while its right holds a small dull-green suitcase. Where the figure's head should be are three long, powerful serpents. Each one has a haphazardly placed googly eye on its head. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A brightly colored devil figure jogs through the dark. The figure is purple and blue, with a blurriness about the body that suggests speed, fur, or both. Its arms and feet are reddish-yellow; its feet glow with yellow sparks. It is wearing a blazing red-and-yellow devil mask, and the devil's beard is also giving off sparks. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A large, strangely shaped building stands against a dark blue evening sky. It is the size of a house and shaped like a chunk of coal. It's dark like coal, too, and sits on a lattice of iron beams like a fire tower. Large rusty pipes are sticking out of one side of it, and several walls have small glowing green windows. On the front face of the building is a giant clock with green Roman numerals, set to 9:41. Two antennae stick out of the roof, with white lights on them. There is a small chimney, with smoke curling out of it. At the very bottom of the building is an open doorway, glowing green. A ladder extends down from the doorway, disappearing into the fog below. Hanging next to the doorway is a pink neon sign that reads "Open". The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dystopian background of dull orange, lighter towards the top, as though sunlight is reflecting off fog. Dominating the canvas is a huge, otherworldly something: a weird mix of industrial and organic elements. The something is metallic blue with tinges of rust, and is covered with curved bars and striations. Sticking off it at odd angles are cylinders, some of which are giving off orange smoke. It has small glowing greenish-white lights at various points on its body. Its size—approximately that of a small house—is conveyed by the person standing on top of it. The person is carrying an unidentifiable high-tech tool that looks sort of like a wrench, spitting a jet of orange fire. The person is wearing a suit with a glowing green visor and three glowing white buttons. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A view from the surface of the moon: a vast white expanse under a starry black sky. In the top right of the sky sits the earth, a blue and brown half-moon covered with white clouds. Visible in the distance are mountains. Closer to the viewer is a round hole in the ground. A ladder is sticking out of it, leading down to who knows where. Next to the hole is an orange warning cone. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tree with no leaves on its branches stands in a bright yellow and bluish space. The area is blurry, but gives the impression of a sunny day, and a vast, icy expanse. The tree stands in the middle of this. Hanging from one of its branches, on the right, is a small sign that reads "open" in large, pinkish-white block letters. Below the sign is placed a chair. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A hunched figure wearing a coat and a hat walks under a gray night sky and a slightly hazy full moon. The figure has a gnarled cane, and might look like an elderly person out for a walk if it weren't for the fact that its entire upper body is a traffic signal, the red and yellow lights blazing. A low fog hangs over the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person stands in a bright red space, holding a yellow flame. Rather than appearing brightly lit, the space feels more like a dark room lit by a fire, with shadows pressing in all around. In front of the person, mounted on a pillar like a sculpture, is a vast and weird object: part asteroid, part machine, with organic folds and striations. The parts of the object closest to the flame glow yellow, fading into red and purple. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
