1. A person wearing a suit and tie stands against a blue sky with wispy white clouds. The person is made of tarnished, green-tinged metal, and is missing a head. Where their head would be is a rusty wrecking ball with a smiley-face embossed on it. The wrecking ball has temporarily swung into position, and is mid-swing. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A person drives a bright yellow forklift which is carrying a very large, tall cardboard box covered with colored postal labels and tape. The box has a door roughly cut in it, an open window at the top, and a tall pipe chimney sticking out of the side. The forklift is in a dull concrete warehouse. Dimly visible in the background is an illegible sign with arrows. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A cat sits on a small hill under a cloudy purple sky. Above, soaring low over the hill, is a person wearing a hang glider. The hang glider has a glowing white light on each wingtip. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A dark green ramshackle house hangs from a pulley that rolls along a cable. The house is suspended in the middle of a slightly cloudy blue sky. It is heavily patched together with boards and has a few graffiti tags on it. It has a door, a window, and then a round window under the roof. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. 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".

1. 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".

1. 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".

1. A dark, heavily clouded night. The entire scene is greenish. Looming up from a hill is a tall, narrow skyscraper, with only one window lit at the top. On the roof of the skyscraper are several antennae, two with lights on them. Sticking out of the side of the skyscraper, inexplicably, is a hand crank. At the base of the skyscraper, blazing over the top of the hill, is an eerie green light from an unknown source. Approaching the skyscraper on the right is a small figure, holding a staff with a glowing green light at the top. A dim treeline is visible in the background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. Heavy woods, a blue evening, many densely packed trunks of trees. Flitting among the black trunks are small green glowing orbs. A low fog covers the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A hot yellow-gold desert with hazy mountains in the background. Sticking up out of the sand is a pole with a beam sticking off it, kind of like a mailbox post. Sitting on the beam is an odd character: heavyset, dressed all in brown with a few sundry patches, wearing cowboy boots and a hat with a brim. Sticking out of the hat is a yellow feather. The figure has an oddly angular face: a long, blocky nose and empty eyes. It looks like a mask. The figure is holding a blazing white ball in its hand, staring at it. The sun sits low on the horizon, also a blazing white ball. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Been thinking a lot about something @gruber said after Liquid Glass made its first official appearance two years ago:
"…looks and feels very cool in general…but in practice quite a few aspects of it feel a bit over-the-top and/or half-baked. Just like with Aqua, it will surely get dialed in. Legibility problems will be addressed."
Appears he was dead on. I think we're finally getting to the point where the cool parts are no longer overshadowed by the half-baked ones.

1. 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".

1. 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".

1. 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."

1. 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".

1. 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".

1. 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".

1. 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".

1. 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".

1. A retro television—one of those boxy things with the dials on the side—hovers in the glare of a single white spotlight. The surrounding area is dark. The TV is maybe a foot above the ground and casts a blurry shadow. The screen shows nothing but colored static. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
