"This Week of Juneteenth finds me sending much luv to the vital South Side Community Art Center in the historic Bronzeville District of Chicago as it explodes with its 80 Years of Service celebrations week!

This registered, former WPA art facility, National Treasure is where we, ONLI STUDIOS, were fortunate to have launched the growing Black Age of Comics genre / movement in 1993. Now I am honored in having my indie character, "NOG: The Nubian of Greatness", published in 1981, that opened the door to the Black Age, by being featured mural sized at the current amazing group exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, called, "Chicago Comics: 1960 until Now!" Curated by Dan Nadel. What a cool timely convergence of creativity, cultures, and commerce."

 ONLI STUDIOS LLC is offering a Limited Edition Series of signed 11" X 17" prints in conjunction with the original" NOG; The Protector of the Pyramides" being featured on the outer wall of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, during its blockbuster group exhibition, 

"Chicago Comics: 1960 until Now!"

 Onli's Rhythmistic hero, "NOG: The Nubian of Greatness" is featured as a mural-sized promotional display per the Summer / Fall 2021group exhibition  at the Museum of Contemporary Art , Chicago.  "Chicago Comics: 1960 until Now!".

 NOG was created n the late 1970s and first published by ONLI STUDIOS LL in 1981. This was after Onli had lived and worked in Paris i the late 1970s and experienced potential in the robust Bande-Dessinee scene there. it was the late, great Moebius who strongly suggested the Onli transition form being a free lance illustrator into a indie publisher to better express his styles and concepts.

 Amazing how long it takes the art world to embrace or celebrate Rhythmism and all of its potential!
