A person seen in profile. Or something that resembles a person, anyway: perfectly smooth head; hard, straight nose; unsettling smile; and glowing green round spectacles. The person is purple, and looks they are made from metal. The outlines of a few rectangular panels are visible. In addition to the bright blue sky around them, they are slightly illuminated from the rear by a reddish light. Perched on top of their head is a white bird, tiny by comparison, with a few more birds in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A thin, rickety bridge extends through a raging red and yellow inferno. Marching along the bridge is an eerie procession, led by a person wearing a tall top hat. The person is blowing a trumpet. Behind them, a hulking figure with a windup key sticking out of its back thumps a drum with a red star on it, hung around its neck. In the rear is a small, hunched figure with horns and a tail, playing a saxophone. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tall, narrow tower with a pointed roof sits on a snowy mountain peak under a blue evening sky. The tower is yellow, with a small red door and steps leading down the mountain away from the door. At the top of the tower is a round, dark, shiny window that looks very much like a camera lens. Several antennae stick up from the roof of the house. In the background is the blurry suggestion of trees or other mountains. A white crescent moon sits in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A view out the window of a spaceship. The window is tall, with rounded sides, and surrounded by a heavy metal frame. The gray wall of the spaceship, with various beams and bolts, is visible beyond the frame. Out the window is the starry black of space, with a bright white-gray moon in the center. We're pretty close to the moon. The surface shadows are sharp and visible. Clamped to the upper frame of the window is a small consumer GPS unit, the kind you'd have in your car, displaying the words "keep right" in white lettering, along with "50 thousand km". The GPS displays the usual pink route and arrows indicating how to get to the moon. In the lower left of the screen is a small round icon indicating that the local speed limit is 90km/h. Fortunately there are no cops in space, yet. Good luck out there, Artemis crew. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A rocky mountainous landscape under a desert sky. On the left is a dark, drab, rocky face with a smaller, round rock placed against it. Climbing up towards the round rock are two figures wearing robes. One of them is pointing to the rock, on which is hung a white sign that says "Do not disturb." The round white sun sits high in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman". Happy Easter.

#notesArt

A large round yellow smiley face floats through an eerie woods on a dark night. The face is glowing and slightly translucent. It casts a yellowish-green light on the trees around it. The tree trunks are dark indigo and green, looming out of the shadows. The smiley face casts an iridescent, yellowish-green glow on the cracked ground as well. To the left, a figure is pursuing the face. The figure is illuminated bright yellow by the face, and it and the trunks around it are slightly lit from another bluish light source off screen. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

An otherworldly scene: a winding, rocky path carved out of rock, surrounded on both sides by indeterminate foliage. This is a mostly dark indigo scene with greenish fog rising ahead of the path. Looming up from the fog is a huge rocky pillar with a glowing white light at the top. Fog hangs in the air. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A dingy room with a yellow wall. Dominating the room is a giant metal box, the size of an enormous refrigerator or furnace. It's the greenish blue color of corroded copper. On the front of it is a round portal, revealing the head of a flaming figure inside. The figure is a fiery orange with blazing yellow eyes. There are a few controls and lights on the front of the box. Numerous pipes, the same color as the box, lead out of the box and up to the ceiling. To the right of the box is a door with a red triangle on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A person sits under a tree on a bright sunny day, working at a laptop. The person is sitting on a lush green hill. Above, the sunlight blazes through the leaves, producing a white-yellow glow. In the distance, a purple mountain range sits under a blue sky. This is an interpretation of Apple Computer's first logo, featuring Isaac Newton. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman" in rainbow lettering.

#notesArt

A deep canyon, with craggy reddish cliffs on both sides. The sunlight is coming from the left, turning the upper half of one of the cliffs a bright orange. The sky is heavily cloudy and an eerie yellowish-green. On the left cliff, so close to the edge it looks like it is about to fall off, sits a white three-story house, one side blazing in the late afternoon sunlight. On the darkened side of the house, one window is lit. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A dark gray cloudy evening, or maybe early morning. On a small rocky hill in front of an ocean stands a streetlight, looking completely out of place. It casts a dim, pinkish light onto the rocky ground around it. There are no other urban structures to be seen. The ocean is vast and a bioluminescent green. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A vast, yellow grassland under a mostly clear blue sky. In the distance is a purple mountain. Long stands of wispy white clouds reach across the sky. In the middle of the grassland is a crooked pole with a red stop sign fixed to it, even though there is no road other than a vague path leading to the sign. A black bird is perched on the pole, with a few other birds high in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person sits in a glass bubble on top of a gunmetal-green tower. The tower is complex and futuristic, with various wires and details. The sky behind the tower is pink towards the horizon, fading to a dark blue. The bubble reflects both the pink light towards the horizon and a bluish light from above. There are a few glowing white lights in the sky that don't look like stars. The person is sitting at a desk in the bubble, working at a small retro Macintosh computer. They are illuminated by the white glow of the screen. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A figure wearing a suit and tie stands against a blue night sky. Where the figure's arm would be is a hole from which a tree branch is emerging. Where the figure's next would be is another tree branch, on which is sitting an owl with bright yellow eyes. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A rusty but still functional industrial facility: an arrangement of several tall smokestacks and pipes sticking out of a building. Orange smoke pours from the smokestacks, contrasting against the blue dusk sky. A door is open on the building, revealing a glowing orange interior. A figure stands in the doorway. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A wide green meadow under a blue sky. The meadow is dotted with small white and yellow flowers. There's a blurry gray treeline in the distance. In the foreground, hovering in the air, is a very precise hole in the sky, or maybe in existence itself: a portal that reveals a starry night sky beyond. Hanging down from the sky, attached to something unseen, is a small green exit sign: the green European kind, with a small running figure, and an arrow pointing to the hole. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A rough, impressionist painting of a person seeming to step out of a blazing yellow-green haze that make up the entire background of the painting. The person is rendered in garish shades of green, blue, red, and crimson. Its head is covered by a round sticker of a greenish-red smiley-face with X's for eyes. The person has a dark green-tinged halo above its head. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A dark, dingy book the size of a multi-story building stands in the middle of a drab gray meadow under a blue-green early evening sky. The book has a doorway without a door, and an upper-story window without glass, and looks like an abandoned building. A few faded graffiti tags are next to the door. Yellow tape is stretched across the doorway. In the window, a dim, ghostly figure can be seen. Two birds are in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A tall, craggy tower of rock with many layers looms up into the greenish light cast by a distant moon. Planted on top of the rock, where no bus could ever travel to, is a small round sign with a bus icon on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A surreal, industrial landscape: a lopsided stack of concrete shapes against a neon green sky. The shapes do not have the precision or symmetry of an industrial facility; they look thrown together haphazardly, with a chaotic collection of tall exhaust pipes bolted onto the back. The result is some sort of facility that looks like it was designed and assembled by a severely disoriented engineer. The concrete is grungy and cracked, with several graffiti tags visible. A small stairway leads down. The topmost box has a round hole and a rod sticking out of it, like a birdhouse. A bird can be seen flying off into the smoggy sky. A few hazy outlines of factories are visible in the distance. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A small, childlike person stands on a dark shore or small hillside on a dark, gray night. The ground is heavy with fog. The person holds a glowing lantern that casts a greenish light all around. Looming out of the fog, in front of the person on the shore, is a tall dark figure with a featureless white mask over its face. The mask has no holes. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A grassy, bluish-green landscape under a blazing yellow sky. Descending from the sky, attached to a large red balloon, is a blue figure wearing a futuristic space suit. The suit has yellow dots and buttons, and the figure is holding something that looks like a 1950s sci-fi raygun. A few birds circle in the sky in the distance. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A figure wearing a dark greenish suit and tie walks in an empty, light blue space. The figure has no hands and no head. Where the figure's head would be is a very large eye with a greenish iris. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A full white moon sits in a cloudy night sky. The shadows on the moon are in the form of an eerie smiley-face. The clouds in the sky are in long rows and reflect the moonlight. Below is a dark patch of several pine trees. Walking among the trees is a glowing greenish-white figure. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A grassy hill under a blue sky. On top of the hill is a rectangular granite structure with an arched doorway in the middle of it. The doorway reveals a glowing green interior, even though the rectangular structure looks more like a slab than a building. Framed in the doorway, or portal, is a hunched figure with horns and a walking staff. Above the doorway is a black sign with white lettering that says "Downtown", followed by the numbers 4 and 5 in green circles. Anyone familiar with New York City subway signage will probably recognize these. Perched on top of the granite block is a black bird with a green eye. There are a few white clouds in the sky, and a blurry hill in the distance. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

#notesArt

A dark figure stands in a doorway somewhere in a vast, stone building. The doorway is relatively narrow compared to its height, which reaches up indeterminately. The interior of the room in which the figure stands is dark. The doorway opens onto a hallway, which is brightly illuminated by white light from two very tall, glowing windows. The figure is clutching a dagger and appears to be waiting for someone. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
