Several tall, obelisk-like rock formations rise from a barren blue landscape. The sky is crimson, with a bright white moon sitting high in the sky. Yellow fire covers the ground among the rock formations. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A foggy, gray scene. Two tall structures loom in the background. They look sort of like skyscrapers, but have no windows. On the right side of both are two small, white, glowing lights. In the foreground is a dark, grassy surface. Placed on the surface among the grass is a dark cube with a question mark etched on the side. Above, in the sky, a large bird circles. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, almost vinelike tree with twisting branches, no leaves, and a dark purplish bark extends up into a bright yellow-green sky. In the top left of the sky is a round yellow sun. At the base of the tree, a figure holds a watering can. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An ominous figure wearing overalls, a bowtie, and a flat brimmed hat stands against a blue sky. The figure is a dark purple, and is eerily lit from below with a reddish light, even though no light source is visible. The figure is holding up its left arm, at the end of which is a small yellow puppet theater with colored stars and a red roof. The theater’s window is framed by a rainbow. In the window is a small puppet wearing an orange shirt and a green stocking cap. The puppet has a simple yellow smiley-face for a head. In the sky above the figure is a white crescent moon. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

A hazy white sun in a heavy yellow sky. On the left is a tall, vaguely obelisk-shaped stone carved into a head. It has a craggy face, mouth curved in a frown; its eye is a hole, letting the sunlight through. The head is carved from reddish rock. In front of it is a small six-wheeled robot that looks like a Mars rover. The robot has a camera on the end of a robot arm, which is aimed at the head. The robot also has a free antennas and a solar panel. The ground is reddish soil. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall lighthouse stands at the very edge of a small, rocky cliff. The lighthouse has two windows on the sides and a domed roof. In the sky to the right is a white sun. To the right of the lighthouse, a few white birds circle in the air. The lighthouse and cliff are drawn in blue; the sky and ocean are a mix of gray and white. Sticking out from the base of the lighthouse is a large crank, as though this is used to wind or power the lighthouse. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A craggy pointed mountain peak sits under a blazing reddish-yellow sky. The mountain is dark and purpleish, the red rock reflecting the sun. In the top left of the sky is the faded yellow crescent of a very large, close moon. Sticking up from the top of the mountain are a small chimney and a television aerial, even though there is no other sign of a dwelling in sight. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A heavy metal safe—the cubic kind with the dial in the center and the heavy hinges—sits on top of some metal pilings, in the middle of a barren black meadow. A little metal ladder leads up to it. The sky above is gray and cloudy. A small, irregular pathway winds towards the safe. Extending from the right side of the safe is a tall chimney made of black pipe. A wisp of white smoke is coming out of the chimney. To the right of the path is a mailbox. Someone seems to have built their house with the big bad wolf in mind. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small submersible craft hovers a few feet above the ocean floor. The craft is mostly black, with hints of a drab green metal exterior. Towards the rear is a glowing blue-green portal with a cat sitting in it. The front of the craft has a bubble-shaped windshield, also glowing blue. A small white light is on the hatchway. Someone is sitting behind the windshield, steering the craft. There is some tiny green text stenciled on the side of the submersible but it's too small to read. Directly below the craft, illuminating the underside, is a blazing white hole in the ocean floor. All around, the sea is dark blue fading to black. There are no other signs of life. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A reddish yellow sky over the desert. In the distance and foreground are craggy reddish rock formations that reflect the yellow sunlight. Soaring overhead is a black, triangular craft that does not look like it's from this world. On the underside at its front is a glowing green circle. Glowing green lines are placed on the rear edges of both of its wings, and it has other lines that give it a sleek, alien appearance. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A rural landscape at dusk. In the foreground are tree-covered purple hills, with a dark tree line on the left. A winding road runs through it. In the distance, sunlight burns greenish yellow on the horizon. The sky is blue shifting into deep indigo. On the horizon, but closer, is an oddly shaped tower. It emerges from the ground at an angle and then straightens up, with a larger area at the top like a turret. On the top are a few small antennas with glowing white lights. Behind the primary tower is a tall smokestack with smoke coming out. It has small glowing green lights on it, and looks like some weird industrial installation that doesn't correspond to any known design. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A scene of darkness, dominated by a volcano-like structure in the center. The volcano is spitting a geyser of greenish-white light and smoke into the heavy greenish clouds. A small path and staircase, carved into the surrounding rock, leads to the volcano. Mounted on a  plateau right off the path is a small building that suggests an outhouse. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small yellow path winds through a grassy meadow at night. The meadow is a blend of greens and yellows, speckled with small white and yellow flowers. The sky is a medium blue, with a large white crescent moon and stars. To the right of the path is a small yellow sign with the word "Exit" on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A log extends across a rocky chasm. Walking across the log is a slightly hunched, bearded figure with a crooked staff and a top hat. A clock key is sticking out of the figure's back. In the distance is the blurry suggestion of a forest. This painting is rendered in shades of bright pink, and signed "Chris Silverman".

A small figure stands on a desert slope, under a vast yellow sky striped with light clouds. The slope is various shades of brown and dark blue, tinged with red at the horizon, and has striations that suggest the patterns of sand blown by wind. The figure is flying a kite that looks sort of like a sea creature, with a long tail and streamers and a shield-shaped body. The kite is reddish with shades of blue and purple, and has two round eyes. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A flat, barren space—a desert, perhaps—with a neon-green-yellow sky and slightly darker ground below it. Blasting into the sky is a blazing white bolt of light that leaves a yellow trail behind it. It looks like a firework, or a rocket blastoff without the rocket. To the left of it is a figure, one arm extended, as though either warding off the bolt of light or summoning it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A vast chasm between two steep, craggy sides of a cliff. The left cliffside is crimson with sunlight, fading to purple; the right cliff is mostly in shadow, with a thin edge of crimson on the left edge. The sky is blue. A pale, round moon sits in the top right of the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark, grim space that shows a concrete floor and nothing else. In the middle of the concrete floor is a neatly drilled hole, like a manhole without a cover. A ladder protrudes from the darkness of the hole. Beyond, the room extends into darkness. Hanging from above is a glowing sign with white letters. While the glow is predominantly white, it ranges across a number of different colors: yellow, green, pink. The letters say "Open". The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A hulking factory complex under heavy night clouds, an eerie radioactive glow throwing the blurry silhouettes of the smokestacks and buildings into sharp contrast. Small greenish lights are placed on the smokestacks and at a few points on the buildings. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark gray sky, under which is a deep, well-like hole stretching down to infinity. Sitting in a chair at the edge of the hole is a figure holding a fishing pole. Hanging from the pole, dangling far down into the hole, is a string with a bright, green, glowing object at the end of it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A blazing pink afternoon. A small figure wearing a hat walks between two large buildings. The figure has a clock key sticking out of its back; more disturbingly, both buildings have large eyes and are watching it intently. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person stands on a blue railway platform. To their right is a large clock on a pole. The sky in front of them is bright yellow fading to green and purple. Hovering in the sky and approaching is a blurry indeterminate object with rows of small lights along it, yellow sunlight shining off its underside. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A hot, yellow sky hovers over a strange city made of boxes. The boxes have no windows and one is arranged at an angle. A bridge with arches, similar to an aqueduct, extends away from one of the buildings. Walking along the bridge is a small figure pushing a dolly with a small package on it. A washed-out white sun hangs in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person attached to a giant iridescent balloon touches down on the edge of a reddish, rocky cliff. The sky is a bright red-orange. The balloon looks like a regular party balloon but is about the size of the person, with shimmering shades of blue, yellow, pink, and green. There is a small "Parking" sign at the edge of the cliff. The person is looking at their phone. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A blue mountain sits under a yellow-green sky. In the sky are three shiny colored spheres that look like they are made of glass. The largest is red; the other two are blue and luminescent green. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A darkening sky, filled with a chaotic mix of indigo, blue, and green. A slow burn of yellow and white light sits on the horizon. A large, glowing yellow-and-white smiley-face hangs from a spindly lamppost. Slouched under the lamppost, leaning against it, is a thin figure wearing a broad-brimmed hat and smoking a cigarette. The ground is illuminated from the face, and is a mix of purple, red, and orange. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A bleak, barren landscape under heavy clouds. A yellow glow hovers around the edge of the horizon. A small path winds over the landscape towards the viewer, barely visible in the last rays of the sun. To the left of the path stands a small, square, weathered sign. The sign has a blue border and a white center. In the center is a black cloverleaf icon, or "Bowen knot", that most of the world recognizes as the Mac "Command" key icon and the Nordic part of the world recognizes as a road sign that indicates a place of interest. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A highway overpass—two distinct lanes, endless bridges supported by tall towers—dominates an uneven, scrubby landscape. The air is hazy and thick; the sky is an oppressive mixture of brownish gold and bright green. In the distance is the hazy suggestion of a city skyline. In the foreground, haphazardly sticking up from the weeds, are several small decrepit tombstones. A hazy sun hangs in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An arched, decrepit stone bridge connects two large, dark mountains. Both have turrets on them; the turret on the nearer one is sharper, while the second mountain has a few blurry outlines of towers. The landscape is partially shrouded in fog and greenish light, to the point that it almost looks like it is underwater. A small road runs beneath the bridge. The sky is a bluish green, with a single bird. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A cube that looks like it's made of rusty metal hovers in space. A black cat sits on top of it. The cube has a question mark symbol on one of its faces. The composition is a combination of earthy and soft colors, the sky transitioning from a dark earth brown to gold on the horizon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman."

A bright green and yellow scene. In the foreground,a spindly, leafless tree grows out of a square pot. One of the tree's branches ends in a street lamp; another ends in a chimney giving off white smoke, and a television antenna. In the background, the blurry outline of a tall building looms large. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Buried underground is a small, concrete room. On the left side is a glowing lightbulb casting a desolate yellow light. On the right side is a glowing blue screen. There is nothing else in the room. A tunnel leads up through the ceiling to an open hatchway. The sky is a darkening blue with a greenish tinge at the horizon. The ground is barren. No people are visible. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
