Scott Listfield's wandering astronaut, based on Stanley Kuprick’s 2001 'A Space Odyssey,' explores the present rather than outer space.
The artist's oil paintings are mostly of this adventurous astronaut or dinosaurs. His entire portfolio is oddly adorable. Scott explicitly includes elements of the pop culture in all of his illustrations. To be completely frank, the earth looks much more interesting than the moon or any other planet will ever be. Beautiful colors and products of genius spread all over the surface, the earth seems like a worthwhile visit from for any outer space creature.
Burger King, Jurassic Park, Mario, Las Vegas and many more pop culture references are integrated in the artist's illustrations. While doing a tour of the United States, little does the astronaut knows that he is really touring around the heart of television.
