Mars Exploration and Mars Cyclers by Walter Myers
Space Colony Art from the 1970s
A couple of space colony summer studies were conducted at NASA Ames in the 1970s during which colonies housing about 10,000 people were designed. A number of artistic renderings of the concepts were made, of which 16 are presented below.

This is a personal blog which I’ve been maintaining over more than 3 years with lots of personal creations and various external references, plus articles on Mars exploration and colonization.
My visual work is 100% inspired by the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.
I invite you to visit the whole blog, but if you want to have a general view on my photomontages and 3D pictures, you have a “best of” here in the gallery : http://davinci-marsdesign.blogspot.fr/p/gallery.html

I’ve made many pages of fast storyboard ideas specifically based on the Mars trilogy. Some of my photomontages are directly based on storyboards.
A word about me : I’m 30, based in Grenoble, former architect and now working as a freelance graphic artist. Here is my graphic artist website : http://ludoviccelle.com/
