"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.

Onli created the actual backdrop for this photo-shoot in the pre-digital days of the early 1990.  This misty scarlet Mars-scape scene was painted on a canvas of 8ft by 14ft  at ONLI STUDIOS that was photographed with the Black-interplanetaray models standing on it. The way the future-magic was projected in the pre-Photoshop era.  It was used in a major advertisement campaign with a little notice being served that Afrofuturism was upon the Rhythmistic horizon.
