Rick Guidice made a series of famous paintings in the mid-1970s, depicting vast space colonies designed by Princeton University physics professor Gerard K. O’Neill. NASA gave tacit support to these speculative research efforts apparently .

Still prefer Mead, but nice.
Scale and perspective kinda wonky.
I kind of wonder why we don’t do spinning for artificial gravity, even if only in small chambers to prevent astronaut muscle and bone atrophy, but I think I saw somewhere the speed and/or size sometbing needs to spin to simulate earth gravity would be fast enough to break most modern materials we can practically put into space or something. (And trying to attach a hamster wheel to a space station will just wear out and break)
