NOG was mural sized on the MCA's outer wall near the door to its Museum Store which featured NOG merchandise in the form of a Tote Bag, post cards, a ever-cool NOG Sketch Book, plus autographed copies of "Tales From The Rhyhthmic Zone", the Graphic Novel that includes expanded versions of the original NOG stories.

 Curators and collectors will note:

 CHICAGO- One of the Future-Primitif notions of Rhythmism is the channeling of concepts, images and visual ideas from one time period to another generation. Prof. Onli insists that this is a byway of imagination. Giving renewal to traditions, Art,, and ,visual statements that often flow from beyond ones actual experiences or studies. 


 Onli presented this concept with a lecture and exhibition in 2019 in St, Joseph Michigan's amazing creative venue, The Box Factory For The Arts, to positive critical acclaim. This visionary practice is not about 'resistance" or "protest'" but about giving new artistic life as a growing genre that is at one, African, yet Universal with immense growth potential. 


 Since the 1970s Onli's practice has advocated the reality of actual un-named genres in the Visual Arts born of the Black American experience. Much in the way that collective expressive cultural experience has jettisoned Musical genres. 




Onli has manifested this visual notion into several completed collections of Visual Art.
