"Sounds great. I'm a big comics fan from back in the day, learned to draw the Marvel Way back in the 70s and 80s. It's good to see there is a movement coalescing around the importance of making sure the amount of diversity in comics remains…"

10th Anniversary: Decade of the Rhythmistic Phoenix Phase
I am looking to grow positive professional exchanges with collectors, clients, curators, critics and those in commerce to develop and advance my Rhythmistic concepts. Fine Art, Movies, Games, Graphic Novels, & Wearable Art. Plus Professional development workshops for Public School educators.
ONLI STUDIOS is located at the Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago. 4th floor. 34th and So. Racine. Chicago. cell: 773-726-1610. By appointment or special events.
"I wonder what the ratio is of Collectors on this site to their collecting art of artist listed or participating with BAIA?
So many of these conversations seem to overlook the obvious. Obvious? Yes. That most of the visual artists in BAIA are worth collecting and promoting. Then we could see a Top Ten of Collectors who collect the most at BAIA and visual artists who sell the most via BAIA. The BAIA brand is now the new standard. That old star system is so 20th Century!!!!"
Learn about taking the Black Age Movement & Graphic Novels into the classroom for reluctant readers, multicultural education and conflict resolution.
Now to get busy!!! Indie today: Black Age forever!!!!

I teach a college course in Art Appreciation in Chicago. Over my 40 plus years as a Rhythmistic artist I find too…

It was suggested that I write a blog to review what I learned from the event I refer to as the Trial by Fire.
" Najee Dorsey has sent you a message on Black Art In America
Subject: The Fire
Sorry to hear about the fire you had, I have an idea. What if you write a blog about the fire and the lessons you've learned from it????
Insurance, storage of art, adjustors, rebuilding etc...
