A tall boulder with a craggy, frowning face carved into it stands under a clear blue night sky. On the left side of the boulder is a small arched doorway casting pale green light out onto the ground. Hovering above the boulder's head is a glowing green halo. A few foggy trees are visible in the background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A thin tree with only a few tall, straight branches and no leaves stands against a red sky. A yellow sun, or maybe a full moon, sits in the sky above a blurry treeline. At the base of the trunk is a small arched doorway glowing yellow, casting a yellowish light out onto the grass. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark house on a dark night, under a full white moon. The sky is deep indigo, with a bluish glow from the moon. The house has three windows and a veranda. There is no sign of life except for a thin wisp of smoke twisting up from the chimney. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark night: a grayish sky, with a bright green full moon. In the foreground is a tall, blocky tower that looks like a tenement building with no windows and only one arched door. On the side facing the viewer is a green, glowing eye. At the pinnacle of the pointed roof is a small rod with a sphere and three crossbars. Behind the tower is a row of trees, illuminated by the moon. This is a primarily indigo and green painting, signed "Chris Silverman".

A darkening purple sky that still has a reddish glow. Placed in the middle of a dark purple meadow is a stack of three boxes. The lowermost box is blue, with a bright green and red eye on it. The middle box is purple, and has several orange and yellow stars, as well as two google eyes, stuck to it. The topmost box is a rusty red, and has a radioactive-green question mark painted on it in drippy paint. There are a few stars speckling the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small shack hovers in space, several feet away from the edge of a cliff. It is tenuously tethered to the edge of the cliff by a rickety staircase. The shack has one glowing window, a television antenna, and a glowing white porch light. At the edge of the cliff, next to the staircase, is a small mailbox. This is a dark, teal painting, signed "Chris Silverman".

A bright, orange day in a city. A person is walking under a street lamp. In the background is a dark city skyline. What's unusual is that the street lamp is casting a cone of darkness instead of light, and the person is a ghostly amorphous blue. Within the darkness, distant buildings can be seen under a starry sky. The buildings have rows of yellow windows. The painting is 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 scene: a sky heavy with dull, greenish clouds. Looming up against the clouds are oddly shaped industrial structures: irregular, precarious-looking arrangements of blocks and pipes. They have a few small glowing greenish windows, white lights, and smoking chimneys. In the foreground is a dock jutting out over foggy water. The dock is illuminated by a single greenish street light. Racing towards the street light is a person. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A conical tent sits on a vast, icy expanse under a deep blue night sky. Green auroral flames cover the sky, fading to stars. The tent glows red, and the light from the inside reveals the silhouette of someone sitting inside the tent. A few feet outside the tent is the glow of a lingering fire. The ground is blue. This painting is rendered in primary colors: red, yellow, green, blue, and black. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A street that is both dark and lit up, pulsing with heat. The background is a mix of black and red. On the right side of the painting is a two-story building. A figure slumps in an arched doorway, staring at the blazing green light from a phone. Above, leaning out of a second story, arched window, is a devil figure with horns, lit up green by the neon sign fixed to the left side of the building. The sign says "open" in large, blazing, greenish-white neon letters. The neon light is smeared across the night. In the background, a crowd of shadowy figures approaches. 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 figure wearing a suit and a top hat stands on top of a craggy mountain on a dark, cloudy night. The figure is holding a lantern that illuminates the rock with an eerie green light. In the distance is the blurry outline of another mountain. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A large round yellow smiley face floats through an eerie woods on a dark night. The face is glowing and slightly translucent. It casts a yellowish-green light on the trees around it. The tree trunks are dark indigo and green, looming out of the shadows. The smiley face casts an iridescent, yellowish-green glow on the cracked ground as well. To the left, a figure is pursuing the face. The figure is illuminated bright yellow by the face, and it and the trunks around it are slightly lit from another bluish light source off screen. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure wearing a suit and tie stands against a blue night sky. Where the figure's arm would be is a hole from which a tree branch is emerging. Where the figure's next would be is another tree branch, on which is sitting an owl with bright yellow eyes. 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 small, childlike person stands on a dark shore or small hillside on a dark, gray night. The ground is heavy with fog. The person holds a glowing lantern that casts a greenish light all around. Looming out of the fog, in front of the person on the shore, is a tall dark figure with a featureless white mask over its face. The mask has no holes. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A barren, reddish-pink landscape under a black, starry sky. It looks like a desert on another planet. In the middle of it is a small mound of rock, with a boulder balanced on top of the rock. The rocky pile casts a dark purple shadow on the flat ground. Sitting on top of the boulder is a blue person, its back to the viewer. It has one hand on the rock and another hand on its knee, and it is staring up at the starry blackness, undoubtedly thinking that it is tired of earth. These people. It is tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A single streetlamp stands next to a small path winding through a wooded park. It's at night, and in the middle of a blizzard. The sky is a dull, slate gray. The ground is mostly covered with snow. The lamp casts a cone of white light, thick with snowflakes. The surrounding trees are just blurs. The path is in the process of being covered up by snow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A vast lake on a gray night. In the foreground is a dark shoreline jutting out into the water. Most of the shoreline has trees. At the very end is a small castle: just a turret, really, with a few small buildings at its base. There is a window on the top floor of the turret, and another window in one of the buildings. Both glow white, the light reflecting off the water. In the distance is the blurry shape of another shoreline. Above the horizon sits a hazy moon, mostly obscured by clouds, seen as a series of glowing white stripes. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman."

A deep hole at night, under a deep blue-indigo sky. The hole is viewed from the side through a cutaway perspective. The soil is gray, like concrete. The interior of the hole is rough and irregular. The end of the hole isn't visible, but whatever's down there is giving off an eerie radioactive green glow, illuminating the rocks on the side of the hole in sharp relief. Someone has placed a barbed wire fence around the hole, as well as a triangular warning sign. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark, dull night—the world is a slate-green color. A figure wearing a hat and coat stands over a perfectly round, cylindrical hole in the ground, illuminated only by the yellow glow of a lantern. A ladder protrudes from the hole. In the immediate background is the blurry suggestion of bushes; in the far background loom two tall cooling towers reminiscent of a nuclear power plant. The towers have small, glowing red lights on them. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark evening, somewhere in a remote and mountainous area. The sky is dark purple, with a crimson glow on the horizon. On the small hill closest to the viewer is a single streetlight, casting a greenish glow over the ground. In the background is the blurry rise of another hill, black against the horizon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A bright, moonlit winter night. The full moon hangs in a slightly cloudy sky. A slight tinge of white reflects off the wisps of dull blue clouds. The Groke, a formless dark creature with a large nose, trudges up a snow-covered hill, casting a blue shadow in the moonlight. The Groke is holding a phone in one large paw and staring at it, yellow eyes fixed on the white screen. It's light, all right, but entirely without warmth. A dark treeline is visible over the hill. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A craggy cliff under a bluish-pink sky that could be either dawn or dusk. A few sparse stars are scattered across the sky. Mounted on the cliff top is a telescope, with no one near it. It is pointed at the one thing in the sky that any observer would want a closer look at: a glowing white object ringed with pink ripples. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A hall that may or may not be empty and unlit. The initial appearance is abandoned: a bare, dismal plaster wall with a hole where an electrical outlet once was and a fading rectangle where a picture once hung. Also on the wall is a large arched window, revealing a deep indigo night sky. A pipe hangs from the ceiling, while the floor is covered by a dull reddish-orange carpet. Hovering above the floor is a glowing yellow orb, leaving a trail of yellow light behind it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A briefcase-carrying person wearing a hat and coat walks along a quiet park path on a calm blue night, illuminated by the soft yellow-green glow of a nearby streetlamp. The scene is peaceful and serene—or would be, if it weren't for the fact that the rightmost edge of the path ends in oblivion, the ground dropping away to nothingness revealing a sheer cliff. Looming out of the blue fog ahead is a vast, dark figure the size of an apartment building. While blurry, the figure seems to be wearing a coat and has two pale, glowing eyes. 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 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 dim forest: evening-blue background, tall purple trees looming out of the fog. In the foreground is a ground of dark grass and the trunk of a huge tree. Hovering at the base of the tree is a glowing yellow orb, a trail of light behind it. The light it casts turns the trunk a yellowish-red. In the background are a few other, dimmer orbs. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A clear blue evening. At the edge of a cliff, a bizarre rocky structure extends into the air. It best resembles some weird crystalline outgrowth; a tower made of cubical boulders that have been fused together. Sitting on the top boulder is a person, dimly illuminated by a glowing yellow lantern. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small, winding country road at night. The road—barely more than a path—cuts through a scrubby hill, dimly illuminated by the clear blue starry sky and the full white moon. The moon appears to be a glowing hole in the sky; a round, bank-vault-like door is next to it, and swung open. A rope dangles out of the moon. Clinging to it like a cat burglar is a dark figure, about halfway down to the ground, carrying a small suitcase. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
