 "Bolt" is a water-colour painting by Onli circa 1987. The cosmic expression in these Rhythmistic images, paintings and album cover shows the range of fine and commercial application of Afrofuturism.

 "Mothers Earth" is a Rhythmistic painting on canvas by Onli, circa 1998.
Onli designed this album cover in 1978/79 for the funk-disco master Captain Sky. The flying intergalactic pyramid turn-table evoked the flow from the future that Onli started as
