Here’s another one from my latest show Island Stories at Antler Gallery. This show is about a journey to the north, an island country, getting lost on roads with no one other than the sheep to guide my way, and tracing the footsteps of Vikings using modern means.

I often like to write long stories to go along with my work but I’m pretty sure this one doesn’t need a ton of explanation. You can find it at the @thinkspace-art.bsky.social booth at the Scope Art Show happening this week in Miami.

I don’t do this often, but a group of rare prints recently made their way back to me from a collector going through a rough time. 50% of the proceeds will go to Feeding America, because times are tough for lots of us right now. Check them out here - www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?i...

Oh! Interesting! 🤔 and thanks! Really appreciate it!

Ah! That’s awesome! What was the interview about?

Haha! Everybody loves that guy!

New print! My ode to everything Boston, my home town. Get Kenmore now at www.houseofroulx.com/collections/...

Ha! Thanks! Rooting for you to find more wall space 😀

“Women don’t like the vehicle”

Those Beavis and Butthead pins though.

Awesome! Thanks so much. Glad you got one!

Hey thanks! Appreciate the support and kind words!

Frontier House Frontier House took three families back to the 1880s to live like pioneers in Montana.

Hopefully it’s on the PBS app! I bought it in DVD forever ago because I liked it so much. At the time, unlike anything else on TV. This new version had a very similar format, but the PBS one had a segment where they revisit the families after they re-enter modern life and it was really bittersweet.

If you haven’t seen it, and if it’s streamable, I highly recommend the original Frontier House, which aired on PBS like 20 years ago. This new version is definitely based on that one. Both are pretty good!

I decided to make a version of his iconic building Habitat 67, as it might appear sometime in the far distant future. It’s been overgrown by plants, inhabited by deer, and the nearby waters have begun to encroach. But as an icon of Modernist Architecture, it still stands recognizable.

For a long time I lived in Somerville, MA, right down the street from his offices. I would often walk by there and imagine what cool stuff was happening inside. It inspired a younger version of me, knowing incredible stuff was happening in my neighborhood.

This is one of the coolest projects I’ve ever worked on. I was asked to make a painting for Moshe Safdie’s 87th birthday. He’s one of my all time favorite architects, and has created iconic works around the world. We’re now releasing a small number number of prints - www.astronautdinosaur.com/safdie

Ah damn. Sorry! Wish it were up for longer!

In this latest show I reflect upon the roles technology, communication, and isolation plays in our lives, and how so many things seem to be coming to an unceremonious end. Everything’s on fire. Everything’s falling down. These are my Extinction Stories.

What? It’s the last week of my show Extinction Stories, at Harman Projects in San Francisco? How is that even possible? If you’re in the Bay Area and haven’t caught it yet, it’s up through Aug 23, alongside a truly killer show by Chris Austin. www.harmanprojects.com/exhibitions/...

This is a good list! I’ve read maybe about half of them. Will have to add the other half to my own reading list.

Here’s another new piece, titled Coyote City, from my ongoing show Extinction Stories at Harman Projects in San Francisco. Felt timely today. Maybe it feels timely every day.

Hey, thanks for the post on my new show!

Los Angeles based artist Scott Listfield returns to San Francisco this weekend for his brand new exhibition at Harman Projects! An advance collectors preview will be made available online before the show opens, send @harmanprojects.bsky.social a DM to learn more!

Somewhere in the desert, a phone rings.

There's a Cybertruck on fire. Los Angeles is on fire. Everything's on fire. But don't worry, I'm sure we'll be fine. It's 2025. Extinction Stories, my latest show, opens August 2nd from 5-7pm at Harman Projects in San Francisco

Somewhere another species goes extinct. Don't worry, it's DNA has been recorded on the blockchain. Someday we'll put statues of them in our museums so that we won't forget them, and then someday the museums are gone, too.

Somewhere technology billionaires are figuring out creative solutions to all of the problems caused by technology billionaires. It'll be ok. They're building an everything app.

Somewhere a classroom of students use AI to write their papers. The teacher, fired, has been replaced by AI, which grades their papers and advises them on gun safety principles. Just one robot in conversation with another, talking about human endeavors, long after humans have stopped endeavoring.

Somewhere a drone circles a cemetery, wondering if the guy buried there is still interested in those designer sneakers he looked at once online in 2017.

Somewhere coyotes have taken over cities. Coyotes have been known to share their food and resources. They'll do better with them than we did.
