"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.

"Chicago does much more than lead the nation in urban shooting! Being in my vintage phase I teach at the Harold Washington College in Chicago. It is named after our late African American reformer Mayor, The honorable Harold Washington.  We are home to real legacies and movements in creativity, culture & commerce!

Mayor Washington laid the foundation and pathway to the rise of President Obama.  This is the Chicago way.  Just as the Rhythmisitc visual Art Movement along with the launch of the Black Age of Comics laid the template for current trends in the arts that bring diversity to the forefront.

My students come from everywhere to learn to be better.  Art is a healing and expressive agent.  The Ism-Schims prevail to undermine so much. Classism, Sexism, Racism and of course Agism.

By the way.....we are winning!  So will you!!"
