Inspired by "NOG" being the Future-Primitif face of the blockbuster group exhibition at the change making, trend setting Museum of Contemporary Art, Summer / Fall 2021 called "Chicago Comics: 1960 Until Now", curated by Dan Nadel. . NOG was mural sized on the MCA's outer wall near the door to its Museum Store which featured NOG merchandise in the form of a Tote Bag, post cards, a ever-cool NOG Sketch Book, plus autographed copies of "Tales From The Rhyhthmic Zone", the Graphic Novel that includes expanded versions of the original NOG stories. So Rhythmistic! All artwork on this blog by Prof. Onli is Copyright 2023 Turtel Onli , and other dates.

"Two of my early Rhythmistic  artworks were just accepted into the coming AfriCOBRA Themed exhibition program at the DuSable Museum of African American History.  The show will run from May to July of 2013 in a partnership with the Logan Art Center plus  support from the Terra Foundation.  What an  amazing honor as AfriCOBRA were comrades in arms during the period of 1070 to 1985.  I started my career voluteering in the orginal DuSable Museum Fall of 1969.  See the links at www.cuip.net/~tonli/wit2002 Rhythmism & Africobra tabs for background info."

The titles of the collectable Rhythmistic fine art to be exhibited are "Rhythmistic Zodiac", Circa 1971  pointilism / inks.And "Stealamelonthiefa" acrylics on circular canvas. Circa 1975.  I will post them after the opening of this exciting landmark exhibition.  Gotta preserve the element of freshness.
