"NOG Emerges" 2021 Copyright 2021 Turtel Onli
Inspired by "NOG" being the Future-Primitif face of the blockbuster group exhibition at the change making, trend setting Museum of Contemporary Art, Summer / Fall 2021 called "Chicago Comics: 1960 Until Now", curated by Dan Nadel. . 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. So Rhythmistic! All artwork on this blog by Prof. Onli is Copyright 2023 Turtel Onli , and other dates.

Two of Chicago's vital Black Futurists: Prof. Turtel Onli founder / publisher of Rhythmism: the Future-Primitif approach to the visual arts and Ytasha Womack author / researcher on all things Afrofuture. Caught kicking it at the recent Pocket Con Event at the downtown Chicago Cultural Center.  Onli is a Future-Primitif vintage visual artist whose practice started when he was a teen-wunderkind in the Black Art Movement in the late 1960s. He is still flowing from the Rhythmic Zone.
Ytasha is the author / researcher of the landmark book, "Afrofuturism". Both went world-wide from the South Side .......of Chicago!
 

Ytasha and Turtel can be found at Comic Cons, Musuem Stores, Universities and Galleries Not to mention in major collections too.  The Chicago connection!
Wesley Sun, Joe Currie & Ytasha Womack in Chicago!
