Night. A hunched, grotesque figure approaches a glowing greenish sphere hovering above a small pedestal. The figure extends a clawlike hand towards the sphere, from which greenish smoke is rising. The sky is a dark blue; the ground is a mix of black and soft purple. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A night sky filled with a vast planet, illuminated on the left side, and flying meteors. The sky is a soft purple-gray color; the moon and meteors are a glowing greenish-white. Below the moon is a blurry conical structure that could either be a mountain or a castle. It is illuminated by the moon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A human figure stands in a dark space, one arm forwards. The figure is various colors: yellow, bright blue, neon green. The front of the figure is glowing white. The end of its extended arm blazes with white light, as though it is welding something with pure energy. The space around it is various shades of darker blue and purple. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A foggy, eerily green place. Looming out of the fog is a tall tower-like house with a sharp, pointed roof and a small, crooked chimney. The house has just one window: an arched window up near the roof. It is dark, with an unsettling-looking figure looking out of it. The figure has glowing green eyes and a slightly purple, shapeless body. A similar tower is seen, farther off in the distance. In the sky sits a hazy celestial object that could either be a sun or a moon. 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".

A garish figure on a dark bluish-black background: the smile-with-halo emoji, wearing clown makeup, supported by two spindly legs. This nightmare is mostly yellow, but with heavy tinges of rainbow colors: crimson, neon blue, radioactive green, ultraviolet purple. Its smile is framed by smeared hot-pink lipstick; its eyes are outlined in thick white paint. Even the halo above its head looks sacrilegious: lopsided, neon-tinged white. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A large box truck sits on a tarmac; only the rear is visible. The back of the truck is open, going by the eerie greenish light coming from it. The truck has an angled ramp and two satellite dishes on top. A figure is pushing a large box with a purple question mark on its side up the ramp into the truck. The sky is a dark purple. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark-colored van with a cartoonish blue devil face on it flies above a range of dark bluish mountains. Glowing white exhaust comes out of the van's tailpipe. A shadowy figure is visible inside the van, seen through a red window. The sky is a bright red-orange. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure wearing a red-orange unibody suit and a space helmet rides a unicycle. The helmet is a sphere of glass, through which only the blurry silhouette of the figure's head is seen. The figure is slender with arms extended. In one hand, the figure holds a baton with a spherical yellow "angry" emoji. The background is bluish-green. 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 large, concrete building with no windows; the only opening is a giant hole smashed in the side of the building. Extending from the hole is a platform crudely attached to the side of the building. A figure stands on the platform, holding a large hammer. The building has a red billboard on the roof that reads "OPEN" in yellow letters. A pale moon sits in a bluish-pink sky. 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."

Two figures stand on top of a rusty locomotive, dueling with crossed swords. The locomotive is crossing an arched bridge. The white beam of the locomotive's headlamp lights up the dark. The locomotive has bright red taillights. The sky is blue-purplish fading to pink, and filled with stars. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A robot figure the color of rusting iron stands upright, featuring a large round head and holes for eyes. The body is boxy, with only cylindrical stubs for arms and a tie that hangs from the neck area. The head is being partially lifted up by a figure that seems to be climbing out of the robots body. Above the head is a glowing white halo. The background is textured shades of blue and green. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure stands on a scrubby hill in front of a small yellow fire. Smoke rises from the fire, drifting into the greenish sky. A small trail leads to the fire. In the background are the blurry outlines of tall buildings in varying shades. The background consists of blended yellow and green. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A scarecrow against a dark blue evening sky. The scarecrow wears a ragged white shirt with a greenish sheen, a red necktie, and a red-and-white-striped top hat. The scarecrow's head is a large, orange, pumpkin-shaped object with a single blue eye in the center. Sitting on the brim of its hat is a black bird. A fog hangs over the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The surface of the moon: a flat gray expanse under a black, starry sky. A white spotlight beams down from above, the source unseen. An astronaut leaps in the spotlight, performing what looks a little like a ballet move. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person walks in a field during early evening. A blaze of yellow sunlight illuminates their back. They are pointing a white flashlight beam into a darkening blue sky. The beam is illuminating a planet, resulting in the crescent moon which sits in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A lone car sits in a dark underpass, facing forward into a bright, misty light beyond the tunnel. There appears to be someone sitting in the car. The overpass structure is a textured, concrete brown, with a squarish support column on either side. Above the overpass, a single streetlamp stands against a pale, dull-colored sky. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman.”

A lone figure stands on a darkened, textured ground, against a turquoise and yellow sky. The figure appears startled, stepping backwards, a large tobacco pipe falling out of its hand. The pipe is emitting a thin trail of smoke. The smoke rises into the air, forming the semi-transparent shape of a large ghostly creature with a long, wolflike snout, pointed ears, and faint eyes. The creature is reaching towards the person with both arms. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman.”

A tall, angular church structure stands against a vivid orange sky, its windows glowing with a bluish light. The building features a central steeple with a dim clock face, topped with a crosslike rod, and a smaller gabled section beneath it with tall blue windows. A missile rises diagonally from the left, trailing yellow exhaust as it exits from a hatchway in the roof on the right. A hazy yellow sun sits in the orange sky. 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".

A blue sky with a few clouds. Built on one of the clouds is a rainbow: a dilapidated rainbow that appears to be constructed from metal. It's not a pretty sight: holes in the rainbow expose the scaffolding underneath, and the colors are tarnished and rusting in places. The rainbow might even be unsafe, given that there is a fence around it. 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".

A desolate place: rocky ground baking under an yellow-orange sky and a blazing white sun. A low fog covers the ground.  sticking up out of the ground is a very straight pole on which is placed a dark blue hat. The pole has pegs sticking out of it. A dark coat hangs from one of the pegs. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Early evening. The sky is a darkening blue-green. The last yellow glow of the sun is still visible on the horizon. In the foreground is the husk of a tree: not more than a trunk and a few sparse branches. Hanging from one of the branches is a lot jack-o'-lantern with a smiling face. A white crescent moon sits in the top right of the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person stands against a bright orange background, holding a large white sign that looks like a speech balloon. The sign is covered with stars and writing of various sizes and colors: red, blue, and orange. The only recognizable symbols are stars and exclamation points. The composition of the sign vaguely suggests an American flag. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small hill at sundown. On the top of the hill is a small, leafless tree: just a trunk and a few sparse branches. Placed in the top of the tree is a house that, while it is small, still looks entirely too large to be supported by the tree. The underside of the house is bright pink and yellow from the sun on the horizon. The house has a door in the front and a glowing yellow window on the side. It has a dish antenna sticking out of the roof. Hanging from a lower branch is a mailbox. The horizon glows pink and yellow, giving way to a dark blue sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A bright yellow-green sky. Sticking up into it, with no ground in sight, is a tall, thin, column of rock. A rough platform is unsteadily fixed to the rock. Nothing is on the platform. Also fixed to the rock, and extending out over the platform, is a thin metal rod with a wooden sign hanging from it. The sign has the word "open" on it in light green letters. Tied to the sign arm is a large shiny greenish-blue balloon. Nothing else is in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An orange sky, and below it, a small castle turret on its own. The turret sits on a dark patch of grass. An arched doorway glows with yellow light.  Far off in the distance, on another hill, is the blurry silhouette of what is presumably another turret, a yellow window visible. High in the sky sits a yellow crescent that seems too large to be the moon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure who looks like Uncle Pennybags from Monopoly stands against a dull gray background, wearing a bright red nose and clown makeup. On his black top hat, he's got a yellow smiley-face badge. The hat has a purple, shiny ribbon around it, and a greenish sheen. Uncle Pennybags is wearing a black suit coat with a white button-down shirt and a maroon bowtie. His mustache is an unnatural, bluish-purple, and he has blue makeup around his eyes the way a clown would. His left hand is upraised, and he's holding a small puppet figure that is wearing a jester's cap and a dress with colored polkadots. The puppet is also wearing clown makeup and is smiling and winking. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
