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.

A person sits on the roof of a house at night. The sky is very clear and filled with stars. The house is in a large meadow, with the blurry suggestion of trees in the background. It has a window, but it's dark. The person is pointing a flashlight down towards the ground, squarely at the head of a large, unsettling figure lurching towards the house. The figure on the ground is hunched over, with unusually long arms; its posture suggests that it shuffles like a zombie. Low fog covers the ground. This is a predominantly blue painting with tinges of purple. It 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.

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 person is looking at their phone. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small rocket ship blasts into the sky. It is surrounded by an atmosphere of heavy, brown clouds. The rocket ship itself is small and brown, with a white jet of flame shooting out beneath it that gradually turns into yellow smoke. There is one blazing green portal window in the side, through which a cat can be seen. 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".

An eerie scene: a mostly flat landscape with a few soft rises. It's at night. The sky is a dark mix of blue, purple, and dark maroon. Hovering along the horizon is a greenish glow. In the sky is another greenish glow that suggests a moon partially obscured and diffused by clouds. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small, dark blue building with a tall, conical roof as tall as the lower half of the building sits at the end of an arched set of stairs. It is not supported by anything other than the stairs, and sits uneasily in space. It has only one window, a collection of six panes of glass that alternate between pink and green. The stairs extend up off a small hill that has greenish fog at the base. In the background is a sky of greenish blue clouds, with blazing white light on the horizon. 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".

The large outlines of two windowless tenement buildings loom out of a foggy yellow sky. A rocket ship is bursting out of the wall on the left-side building, the wall flying apart in an explosion of white light and debris. The rocket continues into the sky, leaving a white trail behind it. A small glowing green portal on the side of the rocket chose a person sitting inside. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A desolate scene: a small, dark planet hangs in a green space, a greenish glow around it. There is nothing on the planet except a lit streetlight with a “bus stop” sign fixed to it; no signs of life or anything. The street lamp casts a yellow light. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

A dark figure wanders through a foggy blue night. Where the figure's head would be floats a glowing white eye with a multicolored iris, ringed in orange, yellow, and red.

A large, dark, boulderlike object hovers above a blue surface. The object is slightly iridescent and has various windows stuck in it at haphazard angles, all of which glow with yellow-greenish light.

An odd metal machine on two spindly legs. The machine is a collection of boxy metal compartments that looks a little like a construction vehicle with a few more boxes pilled on. It is a dark, tarnished, coppery green. Each compartment has a few yellow windows in it; one shows the driver, one has a passenger, and one shows a cat. A few have thin, uneven antennas sticking out of them. The sky is a deep red-orange. 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.

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.

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 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.

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".
