I painted this Rhythmistic treatment for the late jazz great, Miles Davis way back then...He loved it! In fact it inspired him to take up art making. It was great kicking it with him.

Meanwhile the "Cool Globe" public art collection is traveling the world. In Copenhagen they were there during the heated debate about how to overcome global warming on a global level. My 'Itz A Rhtyhmistic World" Cool Globe was fortunate enough to be featured in the press coverage of this important event. A while back it was featured in the New York Times. Rhythmism in the mix!

Chicago's Mayor Daley congratulated the Cool Globe project and stressed its importance to Chicago and the world. Onli was asked to speak on behalf of the Conservation Clubs of Chicago.

It has been a long.

The smarter you are the luckier for me. There is no force like an idea whose time has come. We have done so much for so long with so little that we are now qualified to do the impossible with nothing. BANK!

See what I mean? The foundation for things to come. Rhythmism lives!!!!!

Great people, like the late Mayor of Chicago, Harold Washington, know the truth and potential of Rhythmistic fine art.

Back in da day, sitting in the seat of power and progress as a creative player in the process.

Who are your favorite living visual artists? How great is the artist or the art in your collection? It could be even greater........ There is more going on than simply "personal taste" or art being 'subjective'. And you deserve that "more".
