Needless to say the mainstream is awash with images, creators and concepts of Color and mass diversity. The decades long advocacy of Prof. Onli and so many courageous others has had its permanent impact.
" Indie today: Black Age Forever!"
Now Prof. Onli and all that is the ONLI STUDIOS' Rhythmistic line of creators and products have emerged in full effect with Graphic Novels, Rhythmistic Fine Art, Wearable Art, Videos...with more planned.
ONLI STUDIOS fans and followers will love hearing that Prof. Onli is in mass-production mode to complete each limited series it launched in its crusade to expand this industry.
Onli's limited edition vintage Rhythmistic treatments and trend setting experimental styles were in full effect decades before the rise of the current trends of the celebrated "Afrofuturism" and the highly marketed "Waconda-hype".
Innovators are like most pioneers. They get the barriers, stones, and obstacles. The settlers get the land, gold and the money. Onli is one such innovator.
The image below, "Femme Chat" AKA "Cat-Woman", was created and drawn by Onli in 1977 when he was living in Paris. It was for an exotic Bande-Dessine series that was to be published by the everhot trendy MODE Avant Garde Magazine.
However the bigger promotional package for this ultra hip character was nixed by MODE when its owner realized Onli was Black. They refused to see a Black artist rise in this manner even though they stood to benefit from Onli's awesome innovative art.
"Onli is back!!!"
