A person stands silhouetted by a huge blue-green aquarium window, staring in. A large fish dominates the upper left of the image, its open mouth facing right and its textured body rendered in shades of blue and green. The left half of it is out of the frame. The fish is much bigger than the person; about the size of a bus. Light reflects off it in iridescent shades from both above and below. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman."

A figure wearing a tight-fitting purple jumpsuit stands in a featureless blue space. The suit it's wearing looks sort of like something a diver might wear: dark purple, with an orange zipper down the front and two orange rings around the feet that imply boot rims. Where the figure's head would be is a disproportionately large green glass sphere, about a third the size of its body. The sphere is filled with liquid and contains a large, dark fish, dimly visible through the glass. There are a few bubbles as well. The figure's right arm is out to one side; in its left arm, it's holding a phone with a glowing green screen. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, thin, dark blue figure with an empty glass sphere for a head stands against a bright orange-yellow background. The figure is wearing a lighter blue tie and holding a phone with a glowing white screen in its left hand. Hovering inside the sphere of its head is a yellow fish.

A glowing blue-green goldfish bowl precariously balanced on top of a black conical mountain peak. Inside is a black fish with large, diaphanous fins. It is night; the sky is filled with stars. A meteor streaks overhead.

A scene that could be either a meadow or something underwater. A large yellow fish with a red mouth like a shark soars over a meadow of bluish grass. The fish looks like it is an inflatable balloon. Dangling from it is a string. Holding onto the string is a person about half the size of the fish. The person is dangling above the grass, or the underwater weeds, whatever they are. The background of the drawing is an eerie blue.

A giant undersea creature, something between a whale and an anglerfish. It has a vast, yawning mouth and a yellow eye, which is a portal with the silhouette of a person in it. It appears to be a machine; the lure in front of it is on the end of a precisely geometrical support, like a streetlight. The fish has other mechanical trappings on it, such as things that look like metal plates, and bolts. Small fish swim nearby. This is a mostly blue drawing.

A very simple fish—imagine a goldfish cracker—floats in a black space. The black space is accented by irregular blue shapes that look almost like fragments of something. The fish is multiple colors: orange, gold, and iridescent green, mixed together. It has a large, round eye that resembles a spherical window. A long, thin string extends below it, as though it's a balloon. The string is held by a small red-orange figure standing among green and yellow grasses.

A small figure wearing a space suit, floating in space. Inside the figure's spherical glass helmet floats a goldfish. The figure is short, both arms outstretched. The stars are all around. The drawing is pale blue-green ink on a black background, with white highlights. The fish is gold-tinted.

Someone wearing a very unique diving suit walks on the ocean floor. The suit has furry pant legs, a giant blue glass sphere for a faceplate, and a fedora, because one doesn't relinquish one's fashion sensibilities simply because one is at the bottom of the sea. The suit is connected to something by a black hose extending off the top of the screen. There are fish swimming near the figure.

A white fish under the sea, seen in profile, upright almost like a seahorse. But the weird thing is that it has fur.

Three fish swim in the deep water. Each fish has a giant human eye that takes up most of its body. Imagine if the eye on your face—not the eyeball, the eye shape itself—had fins and a tail. And there's three of them, deep in the ocean. Unsettling, no?
