1. A dark blue background. Hovering above is a large, orange space invader: one of those blocky pixel monsters from the classic arcade game. It is dropping neon green blocks. Below it, running away from the blocks, is a person, not pixelated, carrying a black umbrella. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A person in a dull blue space. Something not so good is on their minds; a large, ominous thought balloon, like that out of a comic strip, hovers above them. The balloon is various shades of purple, yellow, and green, and is so heavy that it's dripping, pooling like paint on the ground. The person is standing in a puddle of thought-balloon liquid, lifting their leg in horror as viscous purple strings of whatever this is extend from their shoe to the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. 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 neck would be is another tree branch, on which is sitting an owl with bright yellow eyes. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. 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".

1. A tall, stone Greek letter pi stands against a yellow sky. The letter looks like a monument, and is slightly chipped and cracked. The ground is rocky and purple. There's a blurry yellow treeline in the background. A few birds circle above. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A simple line drawing of a person with a large body and a small head. The person is wearing a hat with a brim. Their head is the blue Mac OS logo: the classic one that looks like a smiling face logo divided into two blue halves. They are carrying a suitcase with an icon of a small compact Mac on it. On the front of their shirt is a minimalist, colorful painting of a compact Mac. For the most part, though, the composition is a canvas-colored tan. This, as some might recognize, is Mr Macintosh, a drawing initially commissioned by Steve Jobs from the Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon. He wasn't carrying a System suitcase in the original version, though. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A single streetlamp stands next to a small path winding through a wooded park. It's at night, and in the middle of a blizzard. The sky is a dull, slate gray. The ground is mostly covered with snow. The lamp casts a cone of white light, thick with snowflakes. The surrounding trees are just blurs. The path is in the process of being covered up by snow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A huge, craggy stone head sits under a dull blue sky in a dull blue meadow. The head is clearly carved to have a rudimentary face: heavy brow, round eyes, and a long, heavy nose. The rock is rough and cracking. Sticking out of the stone's forehead is a rod with a black sign hanging from it. The sign has the words "Now serving", and then a red digital display showing the number 42. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A harsh, blocky building on a hill by the sea. The sky is the slate blue of a cloudy winter evening. The building is surrounded by snow and rust-covered, with few niceties: a terrace, several small windows, and a door with a concrete porch. To the right of the door is a single-car garage with a light over it. Another light on the side wall of the garage casts a greenish light over the snow. On the roof of the building are a few antennae with red lights and a large radio dish. The overall effect is that of a Soviet-style official building—perhaps a remote radio station—so the weirdest touch is the large, glowing, green-white sign on top of the building that reads "DINER". The sign has a pink neon underline beneath it. This building could not look less like a diner, but many things are rarely as they immediately seem. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A snowy landscape; a colorless world of different grays. Footprints in the snow lead towards a small cabin in the immediate distance. The roof of the cabin is covered with thick snow. Smoke is coming out of the cabin's chimney. The cabin is surrounded by woods. A very dim, foggy treeline is visible behind the cabin. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A tall, blue figure wearing something that looks vaguely like a uniform stumbles forward awkwardly, brandishing a long sword. The figure wears boots and has the head of a robot, with a flat mouth and staring blue eyes. Perched on its back, one finger pointed forward, is a short, red, demonic-looking creature with a conspicuously fake white halo fixed to its head. The background is a bright yellowish-red. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

RE: https://mastodon.social/@bigzaphod/115928143563179770
I don't even know how much time I've spent in Ollie's Arcade over the years. I've never been all that interested in gaming, but the visual design here is just so good: imaginative, fun, and colorful. Classic Iconfactory—iOS design at its best.
This would be worth it just for the new game alone, but the fact that they want to make Ollie's Arcade free is a gift to the iOS community. Didn't have to think twice about backing this one.

  Just pushed the button to launch a new Kickstarter for Iconfactory! We want to make Ollie's Arcade entirely free and add at least one more game to it. (Really, I'd like to add a lot more games to it if we can raise the funds!) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iconfactory/ollies-arcade-expansion-more-retro-games

1. A hall that may or may not be empty and unlit. The initial appearance is abandoned: a bare, dismal plaster wall with a hole where an electrical outlet once was and a fading rectangle where a picture once hung. Also on the wall is a large arched window, revealing a deep indigo night sky. A pipe hangs from the ceiling, while the floor is covered by a dull reddish-orange carpet. Hovering above the floor is a glowing yellow orb, leaving a trail of yellow light behind it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A small, silver, bullet-shaped rocket ship sits in a deep, cylindrical hole carved into the brown earth. The hole is seen in profile, as though the viewer is looking at a cross-section of the earth. The ship has a single round bluish window, and three pods. On its left side, a round hatch is open to reveal some internal pipes and wires. Standing on a small platform, peering into the hatch, is a person holding a hammer and wearing a headlamp. The headlamp illuminates the pipes and wires with a bright green-white glow. The soil looms all around, speckled with rocks and boulders. Above the hole, the sky is clear and blue. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

RE: https://dice.camp/@valthonis/115865734966647067
This is one of the best ways I've seen it put.
Artistic power isn't about how much a work gets shared—it's about how much of your soul went into it. That soul quality creates the connection other people feel. Sharing is just a byproduct.
And crafting the art—participating in the creation—is key to that process. If you simply told a machine how to make it, there's no soul there.
At that point, you're not an artist. You're just a client of an automated digital agency. There's no soul there.

1. A bizarre stack of ramshackle boxes assembled into a single building. There are three, each the size of a small shed, haphazardly bolted onto each other in a staggered pattern. All are a dark, tarnished indigo color. Each is held upright by rickety support, and some are connected by rusty pipes. The top one has a pointed roof, a crooked rusty chimney, and a rusty yellow warning sign fixed to it. The base one has an orange triangular warning icon on it. The middle one has a small room with a greenish window. The whole calamitous arrangement stands against a green-yellow sky. There are no signs of life, likely for a reason. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A person wearing dark green pants, a red jacket with white trimming, and a red stocking cap with a white fringe pushes a large red package up a ramp. The package the size of a mini-fridge, and is tied with a white bow. The ramp it is being pushed up leads into a large red vehicle that looks like the sleigh version of a freight truck. White light glows from the interior of the sleigh. In place of wheels, it has heavy iron runners. The side has a gold border; the word “North”, probably part of “North Pole”, is written in large gold letters. The sleigh has a small orange light on what would be its bumper, and a larger glowing orange light in the top right. A light snow is falling. The background is gray. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

1. A rocky surface sits under a blazing white sun in a yellow-green sky. Sticking up from the surface are three tall, blue, pole-like figures, planted in the rock. The figures look like carved tree trunks. Two have craggy, Viking-esque faces and long beards. The third, on the right, has a more abstract, minimalist face, more like a modern sculpture. All three of them have reddish coloring on their faces and beards, like faded red paint. They lean slightly towards each other, as though conversing. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A small blue car drives along a dim road on a cold winter night. Beyond the car is a dark blurry treeline. The sky is gray, with no stars, although there is a huge white crescent moon in the top left. To the right of the moon are two thin, tall radio towers with glowing red lights. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

1. A brightly colored devil figure jogs through the dark. The figure is purple and blue, with a blurriness about the body that suggests speed, fur, or both. Its arms and feet are reddish-yellow; its feet glow with yellow sparks. It is wearing a blazing red-and-yellow devil mask, and the devil's beard is also giving off sparks. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
