CHICAGO- "Color Me Bronzeville" from ONLI STUDIOS LLC is an activity book/coloring book that takes its smart users on a fun-fact and hip-tips filled journey into the iconic historical Bronzeville District of Chicago.. From being a positive destination for thousands of Black Southern Migrants during the Great Migration of the early 20th Century to now being revitalized in a dynamic nexus of creativity, culture & commerce.
This stimulating activity-book is a spin-off of Prof. Turtel Onli being recently contracted by Jessica Mueller, the Executive Director of the Business, Innovation and Growth Department located in the Carruthers Center For Inner City Studies , Northeastern University of Illinois' campus in Bronzeville, to produce a series of original paintings highlighting the legacy of stake-holders and landmarks in this rich community.
The resulting Rhythmistic paintings are on permanent display in the Business, Innovation & Growth offices.
30 years ago, in 1993 Prof. Onli launched the growing Black Age of Comics movement/genre in the National Treasure, South Side Community Art Center in this historic district. "Color Me Bronzeville" is now on sell via the ONLI STUDIOS website, ( www.onlistudios.com ), and the Trading Post Gift Shop of the DuSable Museum of Black History & Educational Center.
The DuSable Museum was founded in the early 1960s in Bronzeville by the late Margret & Charles Burroughs along with their intelligentsia circle. Onli closely mentored under them in the Summers of 1970 & '71 in the beginning of his long Rhythmistic career.
