Prof. Onli decided to produce an entire collection of Rhythmistic fine art based on the illustrations in the first NOG book.  He started with the one done live in an artmaking demo at the Musuem of Contemporary Art, than followed with a series of studio generated oil paintings on wood or canvas. The projection is to showcase them in a gallery or residency situation in the future. Curators and collectors will find this unique body of Rhythmistic Visual Art enticing, exciting, and narratively abundant.

"NOG The Protector of the Pyramides". 1981. Good Condition. This is the indie Graphic Novel the opened the door to the growing Black Age of Comics genre/movement. Long before the trending of Afrofuturism and the diversity we enjoy in the current comic book industry. 

(Onli uses the French spelling of Pramides as an homage to his late mentor Moebius and the French Bande-Dessinee explosion of the 1970s that gave us Heavy Metal Magazine, plus Tron, and Fifth Element movies.)

The first book published by ONLI STUDIOS during the classic "Black & White" Boom of the 1980s that included the likes of Teen-Aged Ninja Mutant Turtles and much more.

Its original content was reprinted in 2021 in the New Your Best-Selling Graphic Novels listed, "Its Life How I See it"!. 

Original art from NOG was featured mural-sized on the outer wall of the Musuem of Contemporary Art, Chicago in 2021 for its blockbuster group exhibition, "CHICAGO COMICS"!

The awesome limited-edition Graphic Novel series like none other, featuring the Rhythmistic: Future-Primitif Hero, like no other, NOG: The Nubian of Greatness and Protector of the Pyramides.  "The War For Planet NUBA!"

 Published by ONLI STUDIOS! Introduced and created by Prof. Turtel Onli in 1979, long before the trending of "Afrofuturism" or "Black Lives Matters"! NOG is vital to the protection of a Black Planet instead of hiding a small nation or dealing with the persistence of oppression. 

NOG opened the door to the growing, open, forward thinking, and inclusive Black Age of Comics genre where one does not have to be Black to get ones' Black Age on!  

NOG is definitely not a tribute to slavery or injustice.  NOG is not about the seductiveness of racial or generational re-traumatization. 

NOG is the brilliance of Rhythmistic fantasy & sci-fi that goes beyond the limited orthodoxy of the mainstream. 

NOG is not perfect, but NOG is perfect for you!

This link is to an ever-cool time-lapse video of Prof. Onli painting a Rhythmistic treatment of NOG at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Noted cartoonist like Chris Ware were overwhelmed in watching Onli do his Rhythmistic thing live, to the music of The Coltranes. (As in Alice & John Coltrane.)
