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.

 Now that the "post-black" era has given way to "Black Lives Matters" my message in my art and indie publishing rings truer than ever. I never backed off of advancing the IQ and impact of the opulent Black culture.
 This lame idea and impulse to think or say that "Black" is not mainstream when there is no American mainstream without "Black"!
 My work has been presented in major institutions and indie ones as well. I love it when folks get to experience my Rhythmistic expressions along with my skill set to deliver the visual in real effect.  A lack of skills has hurt the art world over the modern era.  Sort of like singing out of tune.
 The Black Art Movement was the driving force in the new Black consciousness cultural revolution that exploded in the 1960s and resists in full effect today and tomorrow.  It is no more a dinosaur than "Mod" or "Pop".  Those who have been programmed to rests or deny anything called "Balck" as negative or inferior know that the opposite is true.  They well understand that this amazingly fertile culture has continued to manifest positive expansions in lifestyles and commerce. They fear its potential of real power.
