"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.

Rhythmism lives in fine art and Graphic Novels. Onli was a Visiting Artist-Lecturer at the University of Illinois at Chicago's African American Culture Center. This included a solo exhibition along with a recorded lecture by Prof. Onli the day of the opening reception. Onli's exhibitions were theme based and featured titles such as "The Future of Black Art" or "No Evils".
We appreciate your continued interest in Rhythmism and the Black Age of Comics Movement.
