The "Father of the Black Age of Comics",  Prof. Turtel Onli M.A.A.T., 
at a recent ECBACC in Philadelphia PA. USA.
Tourism is another part of the Black Age movement!
Jun came to Chicago from Tokyo for a self directed Blues tour and kicked it with the Father of the Black Age, Turtel Onli,  at ONLI STUDIOS. Here she is wearing a vintage Onli Rhythmistic t-shirt,  presenting to us Onli's work for the touring Cool Globes Collectioin.  This group of globes features visual art statements about hot ideas for a cooler planet.

Collectors, Curators and Critics are all welcomed.

There is an organization in Chicago called "Diasporal Rhythms". They specialize in collecting the works of Blacks and African-American visual artists.  We hope they discover the value and impact this amazing and innovative work from the growing, artists driven, Black Age of Comics Movement.  Especially since the Black Age was founded in Chicago and launched in 1993 at the historic South Side Community Art Center in the heart of the Bronzeville community.

It has been proven that the best Black Artists working today are active contributors to the Black Age Movement.

Since the launch of the Black Age as a movement in 1993 it was grown to international proportions.
Not is is ready for more!  Collectors who are buying now will set the tone.  These purchases of our rare hard to fine limited edition products will have great collect value in the future.  ONLI STUDIOS, John Jennings, N, Steven Harris and others are leading the way.

This is the second edition in a series of graphic novels to inspire young women of color to make healthier choices and to appreciate physical fitness. Another original from ONLI STUDIOS.  Cover illustration by the amazing Afua Richardson.  Various female illustrators were asked to depict Sustah-Girl working out or being healthy.  This book features the visions of those talented artists.
