down, down, to goblin-town

Goblin town: a dull, gray netherworld. A figure with horns and a long tail stands in front of a glowing billboard displaying a subway map of some unknown city. The map has numerous interconnecting colored lines, rendered in sharp geometric lines. No city is recognizable, and no station names are legible. The figure, silhouetted in the greenish glow from the board, is slightly hunched, with short legs and long arms. It is holding a briefcase, and has a windup key sticking out of its back. A low fog hangs over the ground. Glowing green-white fluorescent tubes hang above the scene. A few dim, horned shapes roam in the background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
