July 23, 2026
A bronze statue of a person stands in a flat, barren area under a yellow sky. In the top right of the sky is a round white sun. A few birds are in the sky. The person is wearing a suit and tie, and has both hands in their pockets. Where their head should be is a box with a question mark on the side. A few birds are perched on the box. In front of the statue is a red barricade, the kind you'd see in a museum. In the background is a blurry treeline. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A slightly cloudy night: a blue sky with wispy purple clouds. An orange crescent moon, the edges of the crescent ragged, sits in the sky above a mountain. Running down the right side of the mountain, a large fragment of the moon strapped to its back, is a small figure. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A view from inside a dark room, through a window at a stormy gray sky outside. Through the upper half of the window is visible a greenish-white cloud-to-cloud bolt. Below is a witch riding a bicycle, the headlight glowing in the clouds. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small ghost hovers in a dull yellowish-gray space. The ghost has a windup key sticking out of its back, and it is wearing one of those cheap disguises: a large red nose, a black mustache, and black-rimmed glasses. A glowing blue-green halo hovers above its head. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A rickety tower of stacked, roughly cubical, wooden shacks. Some have tinges of red or blue, like paint that has largely faded and flaked away. The topmost shack and one lower down have a round yellow window and dish antennae mounted on the top. Yellow light filters between the boards. The sky is blue, with pink on the horizon. 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 person stands on a craggy mountain ridge, under a reddish-yellow sky. They are holding onto a rope, at the end of which is a fish-shaped balloon. The fish has a glowing green eye and is dark, with an iridescent green sheen to it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A reddish-yellow toy devil against a brown background. The devil's head has several seams, holes, and nubs; the kind you would expect on a cheap plastic toy. The devil's face is a simple emoji-style smiling face: empty eyes, teeth. One arm is raised. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A pale orange sky, a red sun, and a dull, smoggy treeline. If you're downwind of Canada right now, this scene probably looks familiar. In the lower left corner is a small "no smoking" sign, for all the good that will do. Keep an eye on your AQI apps, folks. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A rocky chunk hovers in a blue sky. The right side of it is striated, and looks almost like tree roots. Built on the top of it is a small, cylindrical structure with a pointed roof. In the sky to the right of the structure is a round white sun. A glowing yellow doorway is on the left of the structure. A small sign hangs above the doorway, with "open" in white letters. Farther down on the rock are a spray-painted orange triangle and a yellow and black striped warning patch. Hanging from the underside of the rock is some moss and vegetation. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

July 13, 2026
A drab, dirty sidewalk under a smoggy, pale-green sky. Mounted on the sidewalk is a large, indecipherable machine on a post. It is irregularly shaped, boxy, the same dull green color as its surroundings, with a glowing blue screen and small buttons and bolts. In one upper corner is a blue plate with a triangular symbol above several parallel lines. The meaning of the symbol isn't clear. The machine looks sort of like an alien parking machine. A few birds are perched on the top of it. In the background are the shadowy outlines of skyscrapers. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A rocky pinnacle reaching up into a greenish-tan sky. Birds circle around the pinnacle. Embedded in the pinnacle are four eyes at various angles. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

July 11, 2026
Three tall buildings rise from yellow flames, standing against a crimson purple sky. Each building is tall and narrow, with only one window in the top left. The windows glow green. The closest building has an air conditioning unit outside the window. A black cat with green eyes walks across its roof. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

July 10, 2026
A blue evening sky over a meadow, and a view underground. A small tunnel leads down to a large burrow, except the burrow has a glowing white doorway in it leading somewhere else. Fixed to the wall of the burrow is a black sign with white lettering and a white arrow. The style looks like New York City subway signage, and the sign says "downtown". Above ground, next to the hole, is a spherical green and yellow lamp that indicates a New York City subway entrance. 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 dark, shadowy figure stands in the darkness under a glowing greenish-white window. The figure has a clock key sticking out of its back, and a glowing white halo above its head. It is standing in the green glow from the window. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A set of four boulders, precariously stacked one on top of the other. The largest is at the top, and has a round window on the side. The lower two have smaller rectangular windows. All of the windows glow various shades of yellow. The top two have small black pipe chimneys coming out of them. In the red sky sits a bluish white moon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall vertical concrete face sticks out of sloped, rocky ground. Imagine a tenement building, except it has no windows and one large, round conduit opening at the base. Green moss covers the rocks and forms drip patterns leading down from the opening of the pipe. A few faded tags of graffiti are on one side. The sky is eerily green, with a dim treeline in the background. A hunched, goblinesque figure stands on the rocky ground outside the pipe, looking into a small mailbox. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small path winds across a rocky landscape towards a lighthouse looming out of the fog, set against a cloudy yellow sky. There are three glowing white windows in the side of the lighthouse. It casts a white beam across the sky. A round white moon sits in the top right of the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A chaotically assembled skyscraper stands against a gray sky. It looks more like a haphazardly connected pile of junk: arches, beams, odd bits that stick out. Most of it is covered in equally chaotic red, grayish-white, and blue markings: stars and stripes that look like those on a US flag. From above, a beam is being lowered down, and someone standing on the top of the building is directing its placement. Other figures standing on the building appear to be actively destroying it with hammers and picks. Somehow it is still standing, although where it's headed seems questionable. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The edge of a cliff, seen in a dark, lightless, indigo space. At the very edge of the cliff, leaning off it, is a structure that looks sort of like a cross between a lamppost and a tree trunk with very few branches. On the topmost branch is a "one way" sign pointing left, and a glowing green analog clock. Hanging from a lower branch is a traffic light displaying an orange signal. On the left side of the painting, approaching the structure, is a glowing bluish wisp. A green fog hangs in the air. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman."

A white fish with tinges of yellow and green hovers in a dark space. The fish has three eyes, and all of them look like the googly eyes from a craft store. Below the fish is a hole in the ground through which white light is blazing. The ground is a blurry greenish-yellow color, with indigo tinges. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A blank-faced figure wearing a sizable black top hat and a dark suit glances down at a bright red snake with green spots coming out of its pocket. The figure appears surprised, but it's hard to tell what it's thinking since the only visible facial feature is a nose. The background is a light gray. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A metal cylinder that looks like something between Sputnik and a spaceship sails through a yellow-green sky. It has several round windows and various seams and panels on it. A cat looks out of the largest window. Below is a blue forest with a lake, reflecting the yellow sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman."

A small house with a domed roof sits under a greenish purple sky. There is a greenish glow around the horizon. In the sky are a cluster of very bright, glowing objects, some of which look too large to be stars. The house has a small door and two glowing green elliptical windows on the side. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An unsettling white figure with long, spindly legs stands in a dark gray field under a dark gray sky. It is looking over its shoulder at the viewer. One hand is up to its face. It's wearing a black gas mask: two large round, green lenses for eyes, and a respirator over its nose and mouth. Sticking out of its back in a black clock key. Hovering above its head is a white glowing halo. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A large, oddly shaped metal sculpture stands on a small rock under a gray sky, surrounded by fog. The sculpture looks a bit like a chess knight, with a few panels and seams visible on the surface. On the lower right of its base is a small open doorway, glowing green. The eye of the statue also has a glowing green circle. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall tree with leafless branches stands against a green sky. It is lit on the right with a bluish light, and lit from the left with a crimson one. Sitting in a nest at the very top of the tree is a bird with a long neck and a plume. Hanging from the tree on the right is a mask with large, unevenly placed eyes. 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 devil, or perhaps someone wearing a devil mask, stands in the shadow of tall, unlit buildings on a cloudy night. The only light from the buildings are small, glowing green lights on the roofs and antennae. The figure stands in a greenish glow, as though from a street light, although no light is visible. It has a large eye and is holding a lit cigarette. This is a primarily blue and green painting. It is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person walks in a dark, maroon space, their upper body completely encompassed by a glassy reddish blob. The blob has an iridescent surface with tinges of green and blue, and reflects bright golden light from somewhere. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A vast gray hilly meadow under a vast gray cloudy sky. Wandering through the meadow is a tall figure with a traffic signal for a head. The orange signal is lit. A few birds circle overhead. A hazy sun sits in the top right. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
