 In times past, Onli was an illustrator for hot innovative magazines such as OUI. OUI was published by Playboy to reach the needs of a hot, cooler more innovative market.  Onli was assigned to the "Prevu" section that regularly covered entertainment and Rock Stars.  Here, OUI features a "Black Woman" on its Christmas cover. How future thinking is that positioning of Black beauty, sex and the traditional international holiday in 1974?
This issue's "Prevu" section included a revue of Davie Bowie's tradition from rock star to theatrical performance star.  Onli's illustration captured the essence of this process.  Where were you in 1974?
