A tiny, cylindrical house with a conical roof sits on top of a very narrow, tall, rocky pinnacle. On the left side of the pinnacle, a narrow stairway cut into the rock leads down. The house has an arched door on that side, and a round window on the other. A poll sticks out from beneath the window, giving it the appearance of a birdhouse. The left side of the house and mountain are lit blue, while the right side has a crimson tinge to it. The mountain stands against a yellowish sky. In the distance is dimly visible the greenish silhouette of another similar mountain. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A huge dark blue-black die tumbles down a steep, rough-textured blue-gray slope, under a blazing red sky, red pips visible on three faces. Small black and turquoise fragments scatter beneath it. At lower right, a thin black figure stumbles downhill, barely ahead of the die. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The sun sets over a blue-green ocean, turning a gray sky yellow. In the foreground is a rocky cliff. Soaring off the cliff, accompanied by bits of flying debris, is a horned figure on a skateboard. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A scene rendered in light purple. It looks a bit like a woodcut. A winding river flows through a mountainous landscape, with a blurry forest in the distance. The sky is heavy with clouds. Flying through the sky in the distance is a witch on a broomstick. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark mountain range under a deep blue starry night sky. Above the mountains is a light scattering of blue clouds. Hovering above one of the mountain peaks is a reddish object that looks like the location pin in Google maps. In the sky to the right is a white crescent moon. Below is a triangular cave in the mountain side, yellow light spilling out of the opening. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A giant conical rock balances, tip down, on a small rocky hill. The right side of the rock is craggy and illuminated with greenish sunlight; the left side is carved into a sinister, grinning face. On top of the flat part of the rock is a small house with one green-glowing window, and a person flying a green kite into a gray, heavily cloudy sky. The person and the house are also illuminated by the green light. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A deep vertical shaft through dull gray rock. Lowering down through it in a bucket is a person wearing a construction helmet with a bright light on it. The light is illuminating a door in the stone wall. Hanging above the door is a small bathroom sign. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A vast pair of legs stands astride a blue mountain against a yellow sky. In the top right of the sky is a round yellow sun. At the waist, where the upper body would normally be, is a railing. A figure stands on top of the legs as though they're a raised platform. The figure is looking through a telescope. The front of the legs are slightly tinged with crimson light. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark figure wearing a large, white mask stands on a ledge in front of a cliffside cave, hands in its pockets. This is a primarily colorless scene: everything is a sort of lavender gray. In the background is a dim line of trees. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A rocky mountain peak under a gray sky. Hovering directly above the peak, fixed in a beam of white light, is a 3.5 inch floppy disk with a white red-striped label. If you grew up in the 90s, you probably still have at least one of these somewhere. Slightly farther down, approaching the hovering disk, are several people wearing robes. One of them is holding a staff. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A ghost that resembles the Apple ghost emoji – arms up, tongue stuck out, left eye larger than the other — hovers over a blue mountain under a blue night sky. The ghost has a pink tongue. One eye is yellow, the other eye is green, and both eyes have two concentric circles inside them. A hazy moon sits in the top right of the sky. There is a slight greenish glow around the horizon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person stands on a rocky promontory against a bright green sky. The promontory has straight sides and a flat top, almost like a pillar. Being lowered down onto the top of the promontory, from some unseen place, is a house that looks more like a façade: pointed roof, doors, and windows, but unnaturally flat. Below the house, a person stands on the promontory, gesturing towards the house. A small bird sits on top of the house. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A strange scene: an underground tunnel winding through flat yellow rock that looks almost two-dimensional. On the left, a lamp fixed to the rocky wall casts a greenish glow. The tunnel then goes sharply up, revealing a network of great pipes above. Hanging incongruously across the tunnel is a clothesline with a few colored garments. The yellow rock has a few square panels on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark, grassy hillside under a gray sky. In the foreground is a stone cube with a question mark engraved on it, similar to the question boxes seen in Nintendo's Mario games. Standing in the distance, on the top of the hill, is a dark silhouette with glowing eyes. This is a grayscale painting, signed "Chris Silverman".

A comet, or some immeasurable celestial object, blazes down through the dark clouds towards a mountain range. It occupies nearly the entire sky: a glowing green flash trailing rivulets of greenish blue flame. The fringes are indigo. The mountain range reflects this color scheme: again, a mix of bright green and violet. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark blue background. Hovering above is a large, orange space invader: one of those blocky pixel monsters from the classic arcade game. It is dropping neon green blocks. Below it, running away from the blocks, is a person, not pixelated, carrying a black umbrella. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A surreal landscape: a mountainous desert under a striking purple sky. Streaks of heavy clouds fade into a starry night sky. Hovering at various locations on the desert are glowing green bubbles. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, narrow tower with a pointed roof sits on a snowy mountain peak under a blue evening sky. The tower is yellow, with a small red door and steps leading down the mountain away from the door. At the top of the tower is a round, dark, shiny window that looks very much like a camera lens. Several antennae stick up from the roof of the house. In the background is the blurry suggestion of trees or other mountains. A white crescent moon sits in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An otherworldly scene: a winding, rocky path carved out of rock, surrounded on both sides by indeterminate foliage. This is a mostly dark indigo scene with greenish fog rising ahead of the path. Looming up from the fog is a huge rocky pillar with a glowing white light at the top. Fog hangs in the air. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, craggy tower of rock with many layers looms up into the greenish light cast by a distant moon. Planted on top of the rock, where no bus could ever travel to, is a small round sign with a bus icon on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, craggy, oblong boulder stands on a small hill at sunset. The sky is pink, with yellow at the horizon. The boulder has a dark purplish color to it. On its darker side are fixed four googly eyes, the kind one would find at a crafts store. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure stands on a craggy dark mountaintop under a dark blue sky. The figure's hand is outstretched, and a glowing whitish-green fireball leaps from it into the sky, casting a glow over everything. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A complex landscape of craggy green mountains under an orange dusk sky. Flying over the mountains is a witch on a broomstick, the yellow light from the setting sun glinting off them. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An eerie scene: a crimson sky smeared with purple clouds; a purple mountain range in the background; and a craggy mountainside in the foreground. The mountainside has several small caves that make it resemble the skull of some unknown animal. Taking off into the sky is a vast, black bird that may be living in one of the caves. It is heading towards a yellow moon that is partially obscured by clouds. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An eerie green world: a dark sky, heavy with fog, punctuated by one blazing light that does not entirely look like a celestial body. Looming up in the background are dark silhouettes that could either be skyscrapers or towers of rock. In the foreground is a smaller, lighter, conical mountain, green like everything else. Its right edge reflects yellow light from the glowing orb above it. Carved out of the side of the mountain are rough blocky shapes that suggest buildings. They have a few glowing yellow windows in them. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure stands on a craggy point overlooking the ocean, one hand on its hip. The sky is the deep blue of a cloudy late evening or early morning. The figure is wearing a dark coat, and has a traffic signal for a head. The yellow light is illuminated, casting a dim yellowish tinge on the rock in front of it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A hulking creature with dark reddish fur stands against a blue-gray background. The creature has a disproportionately large upper body and long, apelike arms with pointed fingers. It is wearing a round mask, one half orange and the other half white. The mask is a minimalist winking smiley-face. Fixed to the creature's head is a conspicuously fake white halo mounted on a stick. The creature wears a blue medal with a yellow star around its neck. 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 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 barren column of red rock stands against a reddish-orange sky. A few small, leafless trees have managed to find a roothold on the side. The base of the column is blurry with haze. The right side of the column is blazing yellow in the sunlight. Hovering above the flat summit of the column is a small yellow box with a question mark on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person stands in front of a large, misshapen stone house, chipping away at it. On closer inspection, the person appears to be carving a house out of a tall pillar of rock. The sky is yellow, a blazing white sun in the middle of it, and the rock is reddish. The building has a few windows, two of which are already illuminated. The person stands on a large mound of rocky debris, hammering away. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
