"This Week of Juneteenth finds me sending much luv to the vital South Side Community Art Center in the historic Bronzeville District of Chicago as it explodes with its 80 Years of Service celebrations week!
This registered, former WPA art facility, National Treasure is where we, ONLI STUDIOS, were fortunate to have launched the growing Black Age of Comics genre / movement in 1993. Now I am honored in having my indie character, "NOG: The Nubian of Greatness", published in 1981, that opened the door to the Black Age, by being featured mural sized at the current amazing group exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, called, "Chicago Comics: 1960 until Now!" Curated by Dan Nadel. What a cool timely convergence of creativity, cultures, and commerce."
