A blazing yellow and orange sky over a dark maroon field. Hovering in the sky is a vast, roughly teardrop-shaped rock with a churchlike building on top of it. The building has a tall central steeple and multiple pointed roofs. Both the building and the rock are a dark maroon. The bottom of the rock is illuminated crimson, suggesting the sun is near the horizon. The building has glowing red and yellow windows. A few birds are in the air around the building. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, blurry figure with a stovepipe hat stands against a grayish-tan background. In the top right, a hazy sun casts a watery yellow light. The figure's only facial features are two glowing eyes. In the center of the figure's chest is a glowing green circular window the iridescent color of a holograph. A bluish silhouette is visible in the window. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small birdhouse on a tall, uneven stick, in the middle of a dark meadow at night. Heading towards it from different directions are three glowing entities that look sort of like minnows made of glowing green light. The surrounding sky is dark blue.

A blazing multicolored background: red, orange, and yellow at the top, and yellowish green below. In the center is a dark blue, purple, and black face with two glowing bluish eyes and a smiling mouth. The mouth and right eye have glowing trails running down, as though the paint has run. The top of the face has similar trails rising up, suggesting flames. Above the face is a halo, half black and half yellow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A small figure with unusually long and upraised arms stands in an empty space. The ground is so dark it looks mostly in shadow: black, with an accent of dark blue. The sky is a wild mix of gold, blue-green, and some crimson red mixed in. The figure is dressed in a dark, navy blue suit and tie, has no head, and is juggling four eyeballs. The irises of the eyeballs are green, blue, yellow, and red. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A multicolored blob of rainbow hues: red, yellow, bioluminescent green, ultraviolet purple, all on a black background. The blob has a cartoonish smile and four googly eyes facing to its right. Above it is a hazy glowing greenish halo with ultraviolet blue tinges. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, thin human figure walks through a dark meadow. The sky is a bluish-green and looks like late evening. The figure's head is a desk lamp, casting a glowing white beam. The figure is holding a magnifying glass in front of it, pointed towards the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A blazing yellow fire in a dark area. This looks like it is in a cave, going by the earthy brown of the background. The fire covers most of the floor. Rising up from the floor on the right side is a rocky black cliff, reflecting the firelight. Perched precariously on the edge of the cliff, about to roll into the flames, is a giant spherical bomb. The bomb is rust-colored and has a smiley-face stamped on its side. A thin string of a fuse protrudes from the top. The right side of the bomb is lit with a neon-pink light, the source unseen. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An uneven brown desert surface sits under a reddish-orange Martian sky. A small brown Mars lander sits on the surface. The lander has three feet, a large parabolic dish aimed at the sky, and a smaller blue solar panel. Two large googly eyes are stuck on the side of the Mars lander. There is a ventilation slot on the side of the lander as well. The eyes are oriented up and to the left.

A pink, luminescent blob that looks sort of like a Pac-Man ghost: round, with short, conical tentacles. The blob has two googly eyes haphazardly placed on it, and a gold star sticker beneath one of the eyes. There is a glowing green halo above its head. It is traveling to the right. It is in a dark, featureless space. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A clear blue sky with bright yellow on the horizon, as though it is sunrise or sunset. A large person sits in a small boat that hovers in the sky. The person is holding a fishing rod. The line hangs down and is held in the hands of a smaller person standing on the ground. Yellow sunlight reflects off both people. The person is standing on a small hill. In front of the person, leading towards the viewer, is the dim bluish suggestion of a road. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person wearing a suit and tie stands on a small stage that looks like barely more than an oversized milk crate. The person is performing: left leg out behind them, right arm raised high. In their left hand, they are holding a top hat. No crowd or observers are visible, and the surrounding area is mostly dark except for an eerie green light coming from above that looks sort of like a spotlight. The artwork is signed "Chris Silverman".

A furry red creature on two legs, holding a bright yellow mask in front of its face. The creature has a reddish clock key sticking out of its back. The mask is viewed from the side, in profile, and is about half the height of the figure itself. The mask has large round eyes, a sharp nose, and a smiling mouth. The figure is standing against a dark brown background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A barren wasteland under a yellow sky. Sticking up from the ground is a tall, rocky pillar about the size of a small house. The right side of the pillar is lit orange with what looks like a rising or setting sun. Most of the pillar is in shadow. On the left side, a small figure with a shovel has taken a major chunk out of the base of the pillar. The figure is standing on a pile of rubble. Sitting precariously on the top of the pillar is a large television set: the old kind, the cathode ray tube kind. The TV is about the size of a garden shed and is displaying bluish static. In the background are blurry orange suggestions of other distant rocky formations. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

January 17, 2025
An empty glass flask—spherical body, long cylindrical neck—floats in a starry black sky. The flask is mostly colorless with a slight greenish sheen. Sitting on the rim of the opening is a hazy, greenish human figure, arms and legs blurry and elongated like a ghost. The figure has one arm raised. The figure is maybe a quarter the size of the flask and could easily fit inside it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person in a top hat strides purposefully along, a gigantic metal wheel under their feet. The wheel is as tall as they are. They look like they are balanced on top of the wheel like a circus performer. The wheel looks like some sort of industrial component: five spokes, with a slight rusty tinge to it. It's traveling pretty fast, in the air slightly above the ground, kicking up bits of gravel. The ground around it is barren and rocky. On the horizon are blurry suggestions of trees. The person above is holding a gentleman's cane and an umbrella. Above, the sun hangs in the sky. This is a primarily grayscale painting. It is signed "Chris Silverman".

A glowing white figure prances on a dark background. The figure has a greenish tinge to it, and no head. Hovering above its neck is a very large spherical orange bomb. The bomb has two glowing yellow eyes and a simple, smiling yellow mouth, which is also glowing. It looks like the head of a toy person. A fuse sticks out of the top of it. In its left hand, the figure is holding a lit candle. The image is signed "Chris Silverman".

January 14, 2025
A person runs through what appears to be a blazing red-orange inferno, arms above their head, juggling a gigantic eyeball. The eyeball has an iridescent blue-green iris, oriented down, and appears to be slightly on fire itself. This is, of course, fine.

A single wall with an uneven top stands in a barren, yellow space that suggests a desert. The side of the wall facing the viewer is in shadow, and is nearly black. Nevertheless, one can make out the dim outlines of several large sheets of paper fixed to the wall. It's not visible what's on most of them, but the largest appears to have a portrait of someone wearing a dark jacket and tie. Two large, plastic googly eyes are pasted on the person's face. They are facing right. To the right of the wall and slightly behind it, walking out from behind it, is a dark silhouette of a person. The figure is casting a shadow towards the viewer. The person has a googly eye fixed to their head as well, and that eye is looking towards the wall. A bright white sun burns in the sky.

A yellow creature with three legs, no arms, and a bright red beanie with a red propeller on it. The creature's face is a collection of four googly eyes affixed to its body. It is standing against a dark gray background.

A rusty, dilapidated metal mailbox on a decrepit-looking post. The flag is up. The surrounding environment is the dull blue of late evening or early morning. A low fog covers the weedy ground; a blurry treeline is visible in the background. The mailbox has moss hanging from the underside. Wherever this is, it's been a long while since anyone's put a letter in it. That doesn't mean it's empty, though; a hazy, ghostlike blur is drifting from the mailbox's door-less opening. Nature—or however we define the wild expanse of the non-human universe—abhors an empty mailbox.

An object streaks through space, wrapped in greenish-blue fire. The object is vaguely spherical and looks like a space rock with the tail of a comet. However, it also looks like the front of a bus: green windows, orange running lights, white headlights, people visible inside, and a sign above the windshield with green letters that read "M1 via 5 Av". Stars are visible in the black sky.

A bright yellow sky. In the top right of the sky is a round white sun. Hanging from the top of the sky is a light with a gray, metal, hemispherical shade, like the sort of light you'd find hanging from a ceiling. The light is casting a cone of darkness. Standing under the cone is a dark purple figure holding a lantern. The lantern casts a warm, yellow glow in the darkness of the anti-light coming from above. Stars are visible in the darkness, as though the lamp isn't just casting darkness, but night.

A small, orange, bullet-shaped rocket ship with two orange fins at the lower end and two round, bluish portals on its side. There is a yellow stripe across each fin, and another yellow stripe across the tip of the rocket. The tip of the rocket also has a glowing red light, with a green light on the left fin and a bluish light on the right fin. The ship is streaking upwards through black, starry space, leaving a trail of glowing greenish fire.

A scene at dusk or dawn: a purple sky that still has stars, with pink clouds on the horizon. Standing in the foreground is a crude, gray, roughly humanoid-shaped wooden cutout, propped up by a clearly visible board. Spray-painted on the front in white paint is a clumsy approximation of a suit and tie. Two irregularly cut eyeholes are the closest thing it has to a face. Someone has placed a black fedora on its head. Standing behind it is a dark silhouette of a much smaller person, approximately a third the height of the cutout. The person is holding a hammer and seems to be the one who has created this in the first place.

An arched doorway, leading from one white room to another white room. A dark shadow falls across the light streaming in through the doorway. The figure casting the shadow is not visible, but it's close by. Illegitimi non carborundorum.

A tall, dark, greenish tower with a pointed roof and an arched belfry. Sitting in the belfry, where a bell would otherwise be, is a blurry dark shapeless figure with two glowing eyes and a white halo above its head. Protruding from the right side of the belfry is a rod with a small yellow sign hanging from it. The sign has the word "open" on it. In front of the tower, about half its height, is a small mustard-yellow booth, also with a pointed roof and a large arched window. Sitting in it like a ticket taker is a figure who looks a little like a monk: shaved head, greenish robes. There is a suggestion of trees in the background. A bright white sun sits in the top right of the yellow sky. Sitting on the roof of the larger tower is a dark bird. This painting is done primarily in shades of gold, brown, and dark green.

A snowy landscape. The sky is the dark blue of early morning or evening. On the left side of the painting is a blurry suggestion of snow covered trees. On the right side is the dark outline of a house with snow on the roof. The house has two dark, arched windows. In the leftmost window is a single burning candle. Looming behind the candle is a large, shadowy silhouette with two dim gray eyes. In the sky, hovering around the house, are three white shapes that look vaguely like comets, except that they are clearly moving independently and of their own volition. They look almost as though they are trying to find a way into the house.

A dark, slightly blurry figure with one hand placed on its hip and another hand raised in greeting. Its head looks like something from a plastic toy: bright pink skin, minimalist yellow hair, and a simple smiley-face expression. Fixed to its chest is a shiny pink heart that also looks like a toy. The figure is standing against a neutral gray background.

A figure wearing a long dark buttoned coat stands with its right hand placed in its pocket, its left hand holding a glowing phone out in front of it. It is looking at the white screen. It is wearing a dark fedora with a white feather stuck in it. Its head is a sphere with a round lens on the front, like a diving helmet. The figure is standing against a neutral gray background. This is a painting rendered primarily in shades of gray.

On the right side of the painting is a sheer, dark blue cliff. The sky behind is blue with pinkish clouds. Standing on the cliff is a lone figure. The person is about to push a very large brown suitcase off the cliff. The suitcase is about the size of a refrigerator and looks worse for wear, with numerous dents, patches, and even spray paint marks.

A blue night sky filled with exploding bursts of color: red, yellow, various shades of green and blue that cover most of the sky. A small building sits on a hill illuminated by the fireworks. One window in the side of the building is illuminated. Happy 2025.
