Wishing Judy Blume a very happy birthday today.

The view from a Zoom meeting: a dark gray background with two people in the meeting. The video screens are stacked one on the other. The upper person's video screen is completely black, with a small, red crossed-out-microphone icon that indicates they are muted. The label on the screen says "God" in small, white letters. The lower video screen shows a girl with long dark hair and a dark short-sleeved shirt. She is in a small room with a few dimly visible posters on the wall. The entire scene is rendered in shades of pale blue that suggest a dark room lit only by a computer screen. Her name is displayed as "Margaret", and there is a green border around her video screen, indicating that she is speaking. Someone familiar with classic children's novels will recognize this as a reference to the book "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret", by Judy Blume, whose birthday is today. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Two planets hang in a reddish-purple space. The planet in the foreground is purplish and has the sun on the horizon, casting a blazing yellow glow. The surface of the planet has many tiny white and green dots, arranged in clusters that indicate roads and cities. The second, farther planet is smaller, perhaps a moon. It has a greenish highlight from the sun, but does not show any signs of life. Heading past it into space, a trail of fire and smoke behind it, is a tiny rocket that has launched from the larger planet. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A smoggy gray day, with a dim white sun high in the sky. A dark, dully colored figure with a clock key sticking out of its back is drinking from a hose that comes from something that resembles a gas pump: a structure with a small green glowing screen and a circular sign sticking out of the top. The sign has a red triangle on it. The pump itself has a few red stripes, as does the hose. The entire scene is slightly foggy and washed out. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A drab, gray basement room. Heavy pipes hang from the ceiling. There is little to look at in this place: a white analog clock, a heavy gray door in the wall, the left edge of a bulletin board to the right of it. Under the pipes, a ghostly white figure holds a mop, sweeping a polished dark floor. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

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".

A gray, stone statue wearing a suit and tie stands waist deep in the snow under a gray sky. The statue is partly covered with snow, and has a few small cracks in it. It is taking a selfie, holding its stone phone up in front of its face and smiling. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A dark evening, somewhere in a remote and mountainous area. The sky is dark purple, with a crimson glow on the horizon. On the small hill closest to the viewer is a single streetlight, casting a greenish glow over the ground. In the background is the blurry rise of another hill, black against the horizon. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A bright, moonlit winter night. The full moon hangs in a slightly cloudy sky. A slight tinge of white reflects off the wisps of dull blue clouds. The Groke, a formless dark creature with a large nose, trudges up a snow-covered hill, casting a blue shadow in the moonlight. The Groke is holding a phone in one large paw and staring at it, yellow eyes fixed on the white screen. It's light, all right, but entirely without warmth. A dark treeline is visible over the hill. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

“…I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction, ICE
Is also great
And would suffice.”

— Robert Frost, “Fire and Ice”

#notesArt #mastoArt #art #illustration #strike #iceOut

A black background with a red "Closed" sign, like a lot of businesses are displaying right now in solidarity with the nationwide general strike and the protest against ICE. The sign reads "Sorry, We're Closed" in white letters in that mix of script and all-caps sans-serif that I like so much. In the lower left are the words "Fire ICE", scrawled in neon-pink graffiti lettering. In the top right is the Minnesota flag, a design that features a light blue field with a darker blue obtuse angular figure on the hoist. There's one small modification, though: in place of the white star is the Rebel Alliance logo from Star Wars. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

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".

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".

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".

A deep blue city night. Someone stands on a balcony, looking out at a starless sky, illuminated only by an eerie green glow from the door behind them. The building design suggests some alien brutalist architecture: heavy vertical lines, heavy walls, concrete everywhere. In the background loom similar buildings, all of them dark and uninhabited except for one small greenish glowing window. The buildings have small red and pale green glowing lights on top. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
