A small island sits in the middle of the ocean. Streaking up from the island is a large rocket ship with small glowing windows on the sides. A white tail of flame traces the ship. In the sky to the left of the ship are a small white sun and a much larger moon; the moon is very close to the planet and appears much larger than the sun. The white sunlight glints off the surface of the ocean. In the close foreground is the rocky silhouette of another body of land. This is a monochrome, predominantly bluish-gray painting, signed "Chris Silverman".

A weird figure, mostly in shadow, wearing a dark indigo suit and a black tie. The figure's head is blurry and entirely black. Colored stripes of iridescent green and light blue overlay the figure and obscure its face; the effect suggests static or digital distortion. The figure stands against a dark indigo-greenish background. Hanging above its head is a glowing white halo with a greenish tinge. The halo is suspended from two clearly visible strings. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark figure with a desk lamp for a head stands in a dark crimson space. The figure has long arms and long fingers. The lamp casts a bright orange-red beam on a huge face in front of the lamp person. The face is seen in profile, and looks like it is made of stone. Its eyes are closed. Small glowing particles float in the lamp beam. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dull blue world. In the background, a vast factory with tall windows and two tall smokestacks looms out of the fog. Next to it is a blurry treeline. The smokestacks have small white glowing lights on them. In the foreground is a large pipe sticking out of the ground. The pipe has a hinged lid, like a manhole cover, which is raised. Climbing out of the pipe is a white humanoid creature. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A desolate scene: flat, bluish ground, yellow-green sky, and the leafless hulk of a tree extending up to the sky like a vine. A small red house hangs like a birdhouse from the longest branch on the tree. The house is rough-textured, with a single circular opening, and looks like it is made of metal. Hanging from the house below it is a small blue sign with the word "Open". Sitting on the same branch is a dark bird. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A long-necked orange creature that looks sort of like a cross between a giraffe and a deer stands against a dark blue background. The creature is wearing a blue necktie with green stripes, a VR headset, and yellow boots. Sitting on its back is a dark figure wielding a green light saber. This fever dream is signed "Chris Silverman".

A giant, oblong stone head sits in a dark field on a starry evening. The sky is the soft blue of a clear summer night. The head is the size of a small two-story building, with a craggy, scowling face. On the right side of the head is an open hatchway, suggesting the head has an interior. White light is pouring from the hatchway, and someone is peering into it, reaching into it as though making repairs or adjustments. A full moon sits in the sky, its light glinting off the head. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An explorer stands inside a rocky cave. The explorer is holding up a flaming yellow torch; the light turns the surrounding walls red-orange and throws the craggy striations into sharp relief. Embedded in the rock wall and ceiling directly above the explorer is a huge, yellow smiley-face emoji. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A strange, remote place: a gray, rocky hill under a pink sky. At the top of the hill, looking more like an outgrowth of it than a placed object, is a tilted stone cube. Hovering around it are small, glowing wisps of light that appear sentient. In the background is the dim suggestion of a purple tree line. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A strange figure that appears to be wearing some sort of cloak or blanket. Only its legs are visible; the rest of it is covered by lumpy, clothlike material. The back of it is illuminated by a bright pink light, while the front of it is illuminated by a bioluminescent green light. Where its face would be is a round, glassy mask like that on a diver's helmet. No facial features are visible. The figure stands against a yellow-gold background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A spooky figure with a grinning pumpkin head, a purpleish top hat, a crimson tie, and a dark brown coat stands against an orange-yellow background. Its right hand is placed on its hip. It's holding out its left hand, above which hovers a bright yellow flame. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A traveler wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a large backpack walks along a winding path. The traveler is holding a staff. The sky, and the surrounding area, are a foggy gray. Looming up in front of the traveler is a sign the size of an apartment building. The sign has the word “Exit” on it. The sign is very worn and weathered, with faded red and gold paint. A few birds circle in the sky. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

An oddly shaped building stands against a pale green sky. The building looks like two halves of a house, one stacked on another. The lower half has a door with an ornate oval window. The upper half has a single window, and overhangs the ground. Dangling from underneath it, like a bat, is an unsettling figure with two winglike arms, a coat and top hat, and two glowing green eyes. In the background is the blurry suggestion of a treeline. This is a primarily green painting, signed "Chris Silverman".

A bright reddish-crimson figure stands in a dark blue space, holding a large bubble on a string like a balloon. The bubble is an iridescent indigo color, with pink and blue highlights. The figure looks slightly translucent, as if it is made of glass or jelly, with yellow highlights. Sticking out of its back is a dull gold windup key. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A huge, dark, owl-esque creature stands on top of a very small house with a circular window. The window glows an eerie green, revealing a dark silhouette of a figure wearing a coat and tie. The owl is about the size of the house, with large yellow eyes looking down at the house. All around is a dark blue, starless night. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

A figure stands on a remote mountaintop under a deep blue-green sky. The mountain is mint green and white. The figure is holding a bright red teardrop-shaped marker, the kind you'd see on Google Maps. Behind the figure, planted in the mountain, is another such marker, this one yellow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark, cavernous hallway. A door is cracked open, revealing greenish light from inside. Above the door is a red "exit "sign. On the wall to the right of the door is a large bulletin board with a few barely distinguishable papers fixed to it, and a yellow and black bomb shelter sign above that. Hanging from the ceiling is a long bar shaped fluorescent light, although it is not lit. Snaking out of sight, heading out of the right edge of the drawing, is a long, greenish tail. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A sinister figure wearing a trenchcoat holds a blazing flashlight in front of it. The figure stands in a dark mahogany space; the flashlight beam is yellow, with a red glow. The rear of the figure's coat fades into the gloom. In lieu of a head, the figure has a giant spherical yellow smiley-face with large, hollow eyes, and a dim reddish-yellow halo hovering above it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A city scene, at what could be high noon or a hot summer night. The sky is orange, with a yellow sun or moon visible. Tall, dark buildings are in the foreground, with faded outlines of more buildings in the background. The buildings in the foreground have lit orange windows. Launching up from the roof of the lower building is a figure wearing a jet pack. The rocket is spitting a tail of yellow fire. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A large, rectangular head is balanced on a small hill. The head is vaguely shaped like the "talking head" icon on classic Macs. It looks like it is made of slightly iridescent stone or metal, and has a reddish-purple sheen to it. The face is craggy and alien in appearance. Its most striking feature is its glowing rainbow eye. The sky behind it is green, with a blazing white sun on the horizon. The sky is yellow at the horizon, with the sunlight turning the hill purple. A few birds circle in the sky above. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A giant incandescent lightbulb hangs in a dark gray space. The bulb is not lit. Below it is parked a yellow truck with a cherrypicker. The cherrypicker extends up towards the bulb, and a worker wearing an orange and fluorescent green coat stands in the basket, reaching towards the lightbulb. It's unclear how the worker is going to change the bulb, since comparatively the light bulb is the size of a small house. The truck has an orange flashing light on top, several red triangular warning decals, and a few red and white hazard stripes. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A giant blue key hangs from a nail. The key is the shape of a regular house key, but has two large, staring eyes at the top and weird striations and lights all along it. It has a mouth with glowing teeth that look like circuitry. Below it, and to the left, is a small humanoid figure about a third the size of the key, reaching towards it. The background is a greenish blue fading to yellow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A yellow humanoid figure stands against a brick-red/brown background. The figure has four googly eyes stuck to its body at various points. In its right hand, it is carrying a red briefcase. Its left hand is raised and glowing a yellow-white. Where its face would be is a large googly eye. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A humanoid figure with a bull's head stands on the end of a set of square stones floating in a blue sky. The stones are gray and beveled, and look like those from a Nintendo game. They are covered with grime and lichen, and have greenish moss hanging off them. In front of the bull, suspended from strings, are a white cartoonish cloud with sharply defined round edges, and a small green sign with "Goal" written on it in yellow letters. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The blue silhouette of a person wearing a top hat stands in a blue-green field. The person is carrying a staff. Above them is the remnant of a stone bridge: a single half-archway, the top covered with grass and weeds. The sky is greenish-yellow. The blurry white sun sits in the top right. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An airplane with a white body, a red stripe along the fuselage, and a blue tailfin takes off into a foggy sky. Standing on the runway, whirling a lasso, is a small figure who appears to have missed the plane by a couple of seconds. The runway looks wet; a yellow runway light reflects off it. In the distance is the foggy outline of an airport building and control tower, with a few glowing white lights on it. The sky is a heavy gray color. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A strange, abandoned looking building. The first floor has an arched window and an arched wooden door, both the same size and shape. The window reveals a black interior, while the door is shut. The second floor has an arched opening that looks like a bell tower, except instead of a bell, a single bulb hangs inside it. The building appears to be made of stone, is decrepit, and has smears of brightly colored paint around it, as though it was the target of unfocused vandals. Hanging off the left of the building is a small birdhouse. Hanging off the right of the building is a small reddish sign that reads "open". The building stands against a yellow sky, and has a sharp, pointed roof. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A stocky figure wearing a large bull's head stands in a field at either dawn or dusk, holding a lit cigarette. The sky is blue, with a few white stars above and bright pink clouds on the horizon. The figure is silhouetted, but illuminated in a deep red on the front and a darker indigo on the back. Its eyes are in shadow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Several thick, greenish, entangled vines stretch from the bottom of the image to the top. The sky behind is yellow. Sticking off from the vines are oddities: a spherical security camera; a mailbox; a highway "exit" sign; some wires; an older, boxier security camera; and a faucet. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A humanoid figure stands in a dark space. The figure appears to be made of water or jelly. It's a translucent crimson pink, with the front of it brightly illuminated by pink light and the rear side illuminated by neon blue light. A few fish swim in its interior, yellow light glinting off them. In the figure's head is a spherical smiley-face emoji. Rising up from the front of the figure's head are a few blue and pink bubbles. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A cable car suspended in a blue sky. The car looks like a small house with a pointed roof, a porch, and a large window framed in orange. Inside the window, there is a dark silhouette with horns. The exterior walls of the house are a dark green. The windows glow with yellow light. The sky is blue, with a few birds. Below is the blurry green suggestion of a treeline. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
