In Red Mars, Robinson imagines the importance for settlers of cultivating bamboo as a material for interior architecture. They have a greenhouse in the big Ares ship that takes them to Mars, and when they set on the planet, they go on growing bamboo for the constructive use.
So here is a vision I've had in mind for a long time : a vision from inside a bamboo greenhouse on Mars. The bamboo photo is a shot of an actual bamboo forest I do maintain near Grenoble (France). Here is a link to my bamboo blog.
The colors are pretty saturated, but well, this sight is just surreal !

Great that you have started work on the illustrations with such energy again!
And I love this picture in particular, the contrast of Mars is shocking and warm at the same time.
