Scott Listfield is known for his paintings featuring a lone exploratory astronaut lost in a landscape cluttered with

pop culture icons, corporate logos, and tongue-in-cheek science fiction references. Scott grew up in Boston and now lives in Los Angeles, but in between those stops he spent some time traveling the world.

painting astronauts. This was 20 years ago and he hasn't stopped yet.
