toiling upward in the night

A figure runs through the dark, pointing a blazing whitish-green flashlight beam in front of it. The figure wears a dark, drab-brown suit and tie, and is sprinting out of the dark bluish fog that surrounds it. Its head is enormous—at least twice the size of its body—and looks like the square, minimalist "talking head" icon from classic Mac dialog boxes. The head is blue and looks like a blueprint, but hardly an organized one: it is covered with a chaotic scramble of lines, arrows, flowcharts, and scribbles that suggest a deeply disorganized mind. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
