"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.

It is ironic how so many celebrated Fine Artists claim to be inspired by comics or actually steal images and ideas from comic books to include in their works to amazing financial gain. Yet they have never actually worked in the comics related industry of even done their own indie comic book.  However, those amazing visual artists who do actually create comic books and indie Graphic Novels are diminished as somehow, not actually being true or credible artists. Thus, miss out on the money and celebrations.

With Prof. Onli we have a dynamic bold visual artist who has spent decades doing both and much more.  
Let the celebrations begin!




Afrofuturism, as we know it, would not have emerged 
without those real pioneers in the comics' industry.

FEAR NO INDIE BLACK AGE GRAPHIC NOVEL!
