"Miles Plays Miles" ( Inks on 12" X 24" cold press illustration board ) per the Future-Primitif Rhythmic Zone was done as an album cover for the legendary jazz icon Miles Davis in 1975 by Prof. Onli. He & Miles could reach positive business terms so Onli refused to allow Miles to use it. It is an early masterwork of Rhythmism. During that time Onli was gigging as a major market illustrator.

 "I often apply Rhythmistic aspects to projects and characters not of my creation.  Here is my treatment of Omega-7's Darkforce from the unpublished team up with ONLI STUDIOS' Malcolm-10."
"Here two critical indie heroes meet to plan action.  I am not giving away the storyline or plot, but it will rock whenever completed.  My point of sharing these images is to link illustration and commercial visual art to esoteric fine art.  I have applied Rhythmism to the entire range.  Close inspection of the design elements and the theme serves notice to its embrace of the afrofuturistic as well. One has to get past the orthodoxy of thinking fine art is a "high art" and comic book art or commercial illustration is a "low art".  I hold the truth that the best and most skilled/prolific visual practitioners work in the commercial competitive domains!"
