June 5, 2026
An industrial scene: a grungy building with a water tower on top, set against a dull reddish-orange sky. The water tower glints in the sunlight. Both the tower and the building have fading graffiti tags on them. In the background is the blurry purple outline of another factory building. Sitting on top of the water tower is a ghostly white figure, feeding some white birds. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small, stumpy tree trunk sticks out of a dull gray, grassy hillside. The sky is yellow-gray. The trunk has several random objects fixed to it: a satellite dish, a traffic light displaying a yellow signal, a birdhouse, and a solar panel. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Yellow-white fire explodes into a green sky, erupting from a crack between two rocks. Standing to the left is a small figure, filming the scene on its phone. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tenement building against a bright blue night. A white crescent moon sits in the top right of the sky. On closer inspection, the tenement is actually a book, with two greenish bars on the spine. There are multiple windows on the cover of the book, with different colored light. Some of the windows are dark or have curtains or blinds drawn. In the windows are various entities: a person, a cat, a monster, a teacup. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A massive figure with long, heavy arms, dressed in some sort of khaki combat gear, stands in the middle of a fog of red and yellow fire. The figure does not have a head. Hovering above its empty neck is that smug-looking emoji with a blue halo. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure wearing a dark greenish cover that looks like a ghost costume stands against an orange background. The cover has several conspicuous patches. The only details visible of the person's face are two round, white eyes that look like the lenses of glasses. A windup clock key sticks out of the figure's back. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Several machines of indeterminate function and purpose, piled like boxes in a dull gray space. The machines have round holes, buttons, and dials, and are old and slightly rusty. The top one is blue, the middle one is red, and the lowest is a greenish gray. A person is standing on the second one, touching the topmost. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

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 scene at dusk. The sky is blue transitioning to pink, with bright yellow on the horizon. Also on the horizon is a row of trees, blazing yellow in the last sunlight. Stretching across the sky are three long contrails, shifting from pink to yellow. A few birds circle in the sky. The landscape is flat and barren, and could be either a plain or a body of water. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman."

Three tall rectangular objects that look sort of like skyscrapers stand at varying distances against a yellowish green sky. They are not buildings, and have no windows. Each has an uneven surface texture, and a single eye at the top. All three are staring at a figure in front of them, holding a sword. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

May 26, 2026
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".

May 25, 2026
An eerily blurry scene: a tree with long, thin, wavy branches stands against a white sky. Hanging from one of the branches is a crude swing with nobody on it. The entire scene is rough, grainy, and rendered in shades of dark blue, gray, white, and tinges of green. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

May 24, 2026
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 closeup of the right half of the face of a black furry creature with a green eye and three curved horns. Only the creature's eye is visible. They are standing against a pale green sky with a bright white sun. Where their iris would be is the blurry silhouette of a person. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

May 22, 2026
A strange, misshapen object hangs in a dark space, suspended by several thin cables from something unseen. The object is somewhere between artificial, geological, and organic: looks sort of like an asteroid but with softer curves, as well as vents and pipes sticking out of it. It has two chimneys, both of them emitting smoke. On the left is an arched window, glowing green. The object is mostly dark, but is lit green from the underside, with iridescent shades of indigo. Below is a diffuse glowing green light. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman."

A dark, grassy hillside under a gray sky. In the foreground is a stone cube with a question mark engraved on it, similar to the question boxes seen in Nintendo's Mario games. Standing in the distance, on the top of the hill, is a dark silhouette with glowing eyes. This is a grayscale painting, signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark, hunched figure holds a white mask over its face. The mask has a strange smile and does not have any eye holes. The figure itself has smooth dark gray skin that wrinkles around its shoulders, as though it is wearing a suit of some sort. It is standing against a light gray background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A very large, tall portrait hangs in a darkened hall. The portrait shows an imposing figure wearing a dark suit and tie. The figure's head is just a black blur, with a large red X crudely painted over it. To the right of the portrait on the wall are a few lighter patches where other pictures once hung. Below and to the right, running away from the painting, is a person wearing gray overalls and a hat. The person is holding a paintbrush with bright red paint, and carrying a paint can. This is a mostly black and gray painting, except for the red paint. It is signed "Chris Silverman".

A gold-colored landscape: blurry brown trees, yellow sunlight on the horizon, and a winding path. A few birds circle in the sky. Hurtling into view from the left is a giant, airship-sized bullet, because you never know—some things one doesn't see coming. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

May 17, 2026
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 scene that looks like a clumsily assembled stage set. Two-dimensional colored stars hang from strings against a blue-purple canvas. The canvas has several visible patches.  The stage is a curved yellow-green surface that resembles a hill, with visible seams and a round hatchway in the middle from which a brown ladder is protruding. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An assembly line in a drab gray room. Yellow spheres sit on a conveyor belt. Below the conveyor belt are various wires and machinery. Above the conveyor belt are robotic arms that spray red paint and draw eyebrows and frowns on the spheres, transforming them into the "angry" emoji one sees on Facebook. Above, a figure wearing a suit and tie observes from a glowing green window. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A bright yellow sky with a bright white sun. Beneath it is a green glass cylinder with a domed top, the sort of thing that wealthy 19th-century chaps who dabbled in science kept their sinister biological curios in. This one looks a little more contemporary—maybe even futuristic, with a few pipes going into it and a greenish metal base with some vents and dials. A person or being of some sort is dimly visible through the glass. The painting is 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 person wearing a ghost costume—a somewhat ragged white sheet with two eye holes—stands in an empty purple space. Around their neck, they are wearing an orange sign that says "off-line" in white letters. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A heavily outfitted figure walks in a greenish-blue space. The figure is humanoid, but has disproportionately long arms and only three fingers. It is wearing some sort of dark suit with a bluish-purple sheen to it, and is carrying a pack on its back. The pack has small green and blue lights on it. The figure's head is covered by a helmet or face covering, and a tube extends from the pack to the helmet. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An alley somewhere in a city. There is a set of a few steps. Sunlight blazes on one of the walls. Someone is standing out of view, casting a silhouetted shadow on the wall. In the foreground is another wall with a "wanted" poster on it. The face on the poster, and any other information, is barely visible. In the distance is the steeple of a church. This is a primarily yellow and brown drawing. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An ocean with a land mass in the distance, heavily shrouded in fog and clouds. What sunlight there is filters dully up from the horizon. The entire scene is in shades of eerie green. Flying over the ocean, lit from below, is a witch on a broomstick. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A rocky sphere of a planet hovers like a balloon in a bright yellow sky. The planet is tethered to a small booth with a window, like those guard stations you see in parks. A path leads up to the booth, and is then blocked by a barricade. The booth sits in the middle of a green meadow. Someone is dimly visible in the window. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A headless person wearing a suit and tie stands in a dark blue space. They are lit yellow from the front, but the light source is not visible. The person is holding out a spray can, spraying neon green paint. Above the person, where their head would be, is a giant spray painted face, hovering in the air. The face is rough and spray-painted, rendered in shades of white, yellow, blue, and neon green. It is barely an emoji, with two round, staring eyes and a wide toothy mouth. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
