Let’s welcome 2025 with a bang! So, after 40 years of experience as a master in the woodland school of art: Here is an honest analysis of where things are at

 

Title: I am Anishanabe. Size: 48 x 72 inches

Good morning to each and everyone and like the title of the article says we are going to do a deep dive into the very fabric of the woodland art form and all of its triumphs and struggles and disasters. I’ve been privy to meeting just about everyone who does this art form in one way or another from the first generation to this current 5th generation. It’s been for the most part a very profound journey and experience and I’ve had the honour of mentoring dozens and dozens along the way. Like I mentioned I’m now 52 years old and have now hit the 40 year mark of being one of the top and highly sought after artists in this genre, the woodland school. When talking about the real fundamentals and techniques in the style from each generation to the next, I’d say many who know what’s up would say that I have one of the best eyes in it with perhaps the deepest and greatest knowledge base about it on the planet. Not saying any of that to boast, it’s just the reality and facts of being so involved with it for the last 40 years now. 

The woodland art form intrigued me right away when I was 12 years old in Hudson Ont. I was already drawing at that point but when I saw this native woodland painting that my dad gave his mom, my grandmother, it blew me away. I loved it. That you can see inside the animals. With fierce colours and inner details. I still remember it today, it was of an Indian man in his canoe with a bow and arrow hunting a moose in the bog of a small lake. Northwestern Ontario. My home lands. The very place I was born and raised. It impacted me that my dad would give his mom something so cool. I fell in love with the art form that very day. From that moment on I’ve been on one of the most profound journeys of being a true artist ever since. I love this art. I love as much as I love life itself. Growing up in alcoholism and seeing lots of violence as a child, this art gave me a new life. A new way to see the world. A new way to identify and to seek understanding in my indigenous identity. To reconcile within me these 2 very opposing lifestyles. My search for my culture and the healing from colonialism. That my very life experience at that time was to heal from these wounds and to try and put the pieces back together of this broken identity. Obviously at that time I didn’t fully understand the root causes of that brokenness which of course I now know to be the effects of genocide and assimilation. Super devastating to try and fuck up a race of people like that. 

I know there are tens of thousands who can relate with me about this reality and the challenges of trying to recover from this each and everyday. So yes, the art form has been instrumental for helping me to bridge the gap. As someone who is both native and white it has been a sort of walking in 2 worlds at the same time so to speak. I’ve been coming to terms with that my whole life and the real spirit of this art gave me this opportunity to put it all back together. Me. You. Us. The whole thing. Going through the good, the bad and the ugly. Like a true experiencer of life. Not afraid to dive deep into the ocean. To see things as they really are. In their true light regardless of how dark. And so it has been ever since. The hunt for knowledge and truth. Nature itself is like that. It’s honest. There’s no fuckin around. I respect that. It humbles me to tell you the truth. We learn so much about ourselves in the solitude of nature spirit. About her, Mother Earth and creation upon her. The vastness of wisdom from every generation unto the next. All of it. Meaningful. Masterful. The living beingness of it all. The true foundation and spirit of the woodland school of art. 

Not just traditional but also modern and contemporary. Even diving into the very future and contemplating worlds never before seen. Done in greater creative spirit and visualization, a truly new and advanced  evolution as we now see in what for me is most definitely the next level in the entire art form with my new genre in Woodland A.I. It’s absolutely fascinating and for me to be a living witness to all 5 generations and seeing what’s out there, I know what I’m doing is the next level. I’ll always  appreciate woodland art for the most part and I’ll be clear cut and honest about my thoughts and experiences of what I’ve learned and gone through. I must because I know that there is no one really keeping an eye on it as I am. I will continue to do so because after all it’s the right thing to do. I would say I am like a knowledge keeper of the entire woodland school. I’m 3rd generation, so I’ve got a very keen eye on the insides and outs. The who’s who and many of the up and comers along with some who are rotten bad apples. Culture vultures and unfortunately there are plenty to name and I’ll name some here no question about that. This is like an inventory of the woodland school, an examination of the stock in trade. What’s good, what’s promising and what is ass backwards and is totally fucked up. 

For me first and foremost I’d like to pay tribute to some of my all time favourites. Artists in whom I’ve always looked up to and admired in the woodland school of art or also known as Anishanabe art (in the words of the master Roy Thomas). I suppose I’ll start with Roy because after all it was he who was and who will always be, my chief mentor. The first woodland artist to ever interact with me. To actually spend some of his time with me to teach and instruct me on some of the fundamentals. That’s where I first learned how to actually hold the paintbrush right. That’s where I learned the fine art of clean line work and inlay detail. Roy had always said that I was a true natural. I had my own developing style and to stay original in that. He mentioned how this would be my own style in the art. I love that. That I could have my own voice in how I choose to develop. Like building my own designs and stories through learning from our past, present and future. 

To find my voice through each new painting. And that’s exactly how it’s gone down ever since. Working with him for a brief time during my teenage period was indeed helping to lay down the foundation that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. To no doubt become one of the best to ever do it. To challenge myself and the greatness of others.And do it right. From a good place. Even when fighting darkness. Using the light, the spirit of the art to guide me through. I found sobriety for the last 26 years of my life. Like my mentor in Roy, I found my way out. I’m forever grateful. The next great master who surpassed many before him was and still is  Saul Williams. He’s next level. A true living legend and he probably doesn’t even care much about that. But true masters in the woodland school know full well that Saul is no doubt one of the greatest to ever do it. 

Others that I find in legendary category and status are Carl Ray, Jackson Beardy, Blake Debassige, Gelineau Fisher, Cecil Youngfox, Joshim Kakegamic, Brian Marion, Moses Amik Beaver, Jimi Oskineegish, Lloyd Kakepetum, David Williams, Leland Bell, Randy Trudeau, James Jacko, Gordon Fiddler, Rocky Fiddler, Roy Kakegamic and others from both the Kakepetum and Kakegamic clans with honourable mention to both Daphne Odjig and  Arthur Shilling as personal favourites. 

Over the last 75 years this art form has gone through many different transitions both absolutely phenomenal to horrifically pathetic. From true indigenous practitioners to white settler cultural appropriators who think they’re entitled to do so because it’s such a universal thing that anyone can do it. Not true to many of us who are actually native and try to practice our very culture through the art form. There’s something very weird about a white colonizer who thinks its god almighty ok to culturally appropriate from those poor Indians. They think it’s perfectly fine to financially prosper from someone else’s culture that they themselves, don’t even practice. That’s super weird in my view. It’s like taking up the space and place for indigenous artists to shine and grow, to prosper in the richness of our culture and in ways of Providing support for our families. Most in whom are all recovering from the effects of genocide and assimilation. The road for us First Nations is a 2 different worlds approach and experience. The Creator gave each culture and the races of mankind their own stories and teachings. Each their own historical and cultural approach. Something unique and different from all places upon the earth. 

The fundamentals of my culture are of course about welcoming and being a loving spirit. But also to stand up and be the warrior for truth, justice and honour. These are important teachings regarding authenticity and self truth. Knowing who you truly are and where you exactly come from. There is great importance for me regarding this as I often say you cannot know who you are unless to learn and understand where you come from. It’s true. Often we are taught in this world to be anything or anyone you want to be. The world media and social engineering tactics often projects these bizarre and twisted ideas of being some weird version of something else. Just not you, lord forbid. Lol…

I take the good with the bad. You have to nowadays. The reality is there are only 2 versions of reality going on here. One version is the truth, the other is the lie, the illusion. Choice is a beautiful thing and it can also be a curse. Like I see in many situations throughout the woodland school of art. There are many who live in the lie. Those who live in the false knowledge of life, of a fake reality. A form of mental insanity and denial. A lesser vibration and light. A state of weakness and fear. Because sooner or later the truth comes and hits the world like a freight train. Like it always has and like it always will. It’s the very nature of truth, hard and bitter and sometimes very difficult to digest. 

I have journeyed farther into the depths of the woodland school than any other artist before me. There is literally no one who even comes close. The knowledge level is different with me because I’m not afraid to go all the way right unto the end. To see the whole thing both in its beauty and ugliness. To truly understand the energy of this art movement one has to live it. Practice it. Struggle in it, master it, be a student in it, find new ways of exploration and innovation without being servile or scraping. We’ll get into that now. 

Most definitely one of the greatest upsets and discoveries was learning that Norval Morrisseau was indeed a sexual abuser, a predator. The fact that him and his gay handler in Gabe Vadas insulted me to such a level by trying to sexually touch my ass without my permission and in the wake and fall out of that, completely destroyed my love and appreciation for him, in Norval. For his art, his legacy, all the work I dedicated to that, all done in vein. In my hidden shame and embarrassment that for years, I had done something wrong. That I didn’t cooperate with their sick and twisted sexual agenda. To steal from me, my self worth and confidence, to embarrass my soul in such a way and to offend me in such a fuckin gross manner, it’s despicable. To plant that ugliness on me and to shame my spirit for just being my true and authentic self, a lovin dude that felt so honoured to be hanging out with Norval Morrisseau. The so-called grand shaman of the Anishanabe. Imagine that? In a fuckin wheelchair tooboot. 

Fuckin grossed me out and still to this day affects me. Like a cold and shitty memory of someone I thought was a cultural icon, a hero to my people. A living legend only to turn out like like P Diddy puff Gabe, trying to get a freak off. It’s really that pathetic and gross. That whole thing and experience destroyed any love I had left after the whole art fraud investigation. After exposing Lamont for the total piece of shit he was and will always be, it was and will always be a shattering reality of who Morrisseau was. Not only that, but I have absolutely solid witnesses who can testify to everything I’ve said. Forever going forward I will continue to share and expose these unsettling truths. I 100% believe that it’s absolutely nuts to prop up sexual abusers of children as cultural hero’s or icons. This is a major problem with regard to the cultural fabric of this country and it is with my whole heart and soul that this will change. I believe in real truth and reconciliation but before the reconciliation part happens, we must examine and bring forth the truth. This is how it’s going down. This is the will of our Creator.. Of our ancestors. And so it shall be…

Like I mentioned I’ve seen a lot of the good, the bad and the ugly throughout the woodland school. Let’s open the door on the list of known cultural appropriators and who they are. I don’t give 2 shits what the pedophile shaman told you in Morrisseau. For me, that shit is obsolete. Done. Toast. Bye bye. Night night. What he’s ever said is dead. I don’t trust in any of that no more. As we say “the delusion has been smashed”. 

White cultural appropriators in our woodland school of art:

1: Ritchie Sinclair (non native Morrisseau apprentice) 

2: Vasil woodland (European artist and appropriator)

3: Gabe Vadas (thinks he’s an actual Indian/Morrisseau art apprentice)

4: Daniel Pitchegigwaneh (claimed to be Morrisseau’s long lost son) 

5: Karl Burrows (I even like the guy) still appropriation

6: Mike Ormsby (fake pretendian paints in woodland) 

7: Zhaawano Giizhik (exposed as a fraud by ex girlfriend Simone McLeod)

8: James McCue (former apprentice to Morrisseau) appropriator 

9: Amanda PL (young white female) cultural appropriator

This gives a general overview of what to watch out for out there. None of it is authentic or any of that a true reflection of our culture through art. It’s weird is what it is. It’s cultural appropriation. They should look into their European history and find out what that means through their artistic expression. Focus on that. Find out where you come from and in that, who you are. Make sense? Exactly. 

This list is of what I call: THE WOODLAND WEEN-NUKS

At some point or another, these artists either got super weird with me or turned on me like a rattle snake. These poor chaps have lost their way.  Those who only cared about themselves, their own plans and desires…it’ll be shocking for many of them on what comes next. 

1: Norval Morrisseau (we already know why)

2: Wolf Morrisseau (heavily involved in the fraud)

3: Christian Morrisseau (heavily involved in the fraud)

4: Unfortunately David Morrisseau (majorly involved in the art fraud)

5: Eugene Morrisseau (involved in the fraud)

6: Benjamin Morrisseau (heavily involved in the fraud)

7: Bruce Morrisseau (involved in the fraud he confessed it) 

8: Jason Adair (steals my designs without permission)

9: Flake Angeconob (tried to help him I warned him about the stupidity of woodland pop)

10: Jackie Traverse (tried helping her career ended up getting weird)

11: Tom Tom Sinclair and his ol lady (got right fuckin weird even super ugly….yikes)

12: Patrick Paul (tried to help him, ended up being a weirdo)

13: Kurtis Staven (a pretendian I met in the Kootenay’s a real piece of shit of a human being)

I will also share who broke my heart and I had to choose to distance myself from them because they broke my trust. It’s sad that at the end of all of this it came to this. But this is my experience. This is my truth. This is my story and even though it has come to that, I have to share what’s in my heart. I have to be transparent and honest. I think it will help to finally bring some closure. 

1: John Zemanovich (sorry it didn’t work out, that we couldn’t find a way to heal. I tried…)

2: Kevin Hearn (sorry I had to let you go I hope you can now understand)

3: Jonathan Sommer (sorry it didn’t work out I tried being your friend. It just got fucked up)

4: Cory Dingle (unfortunately? You fucked with the wrong Indian. My hope for you in the future is that you’ll genuinely apologize to me when your heart and soul is ready. You forced my soul to act and stand up. There will be more to come….so stay tuned, guy.) 

On that note this brief synopsis of some of the highs and lows during my career should give you a rough idea as to the type of terrain I’ve had to walk through, navigate and deal with. Unfortunately not everyone you meet works out. Most of the time we are learning difficult lessons which sometimes puts us in the crosshairs of each other. Passion for the truth and a steadfast belief in justice will do that to you. I come to correct the lies and to stand up as a survivor of abuse that should have never ever happened to me. Things are going to change and I’m choosing to stand up for my own sense of justice. For my own story and the truth that lays within it. Indeed there will be much more to come. All my relations.

A special shout out to this guy. The one who made it all happen in Dallas Thompson. My true brother who remained until the very end. The only one…

FROM HERE ON IN….I AM THE FUTURE. I AM WOODLAND A.I. ⚡️👽⚡️

Happy new year and a special happy birthday to our son Sagein Wisdom who just turned 7 years old. The light of my world…

 

Pictured here: My son Sagein on the Yamaha grizzly holding the sword of destiny 

Good morning to each and everyone and once again we wish you only the best here @ Jacobson native art and a warm welcome into 2025. Like I’ve shared it’s been an incredible year of creative innovation and collaboration. Giving birth to Woodland A.I. this year and transforming the future of indigenous art with this new visionary and cutting edge technology has been such a breath of new fresh air. It’s exhilarating in every sense of the word. My own discovery and invention. A new path forward for me as an artist. I look forward to seeing what happens next for sure. 

Took my boy up the mountain tonight and we did a night time drive on the ATV and had an absolute blast together. We hung out and played “swords of destiny” and “warriors of eternal power”. His current favourite game we made up together and he absolutely loves it. Brings him the best smiles and laughter. I’m so happy being his father. Our bond is the greatest gift I’ve ever known. I see Creator in him all the time. I call him my greatest teacher because that’s exactly what he is. He is so confident and playful. His mind is so fascinating and curious. He just turned 7 years old this month. The CEO of Jacobson native art. My pride and joy. A true privilege walking together side by side on this journey of life. Growing up deep in the Kootenay mountains of BC.(Sagein was born in Nelson so he’s a true Kootenay boy) We live in Mother Nature’s paradise. In the real perfection of it all. Where man is small and nature is grand. Where nature spirit is Alpha.

I’m in a really good place these days. I feel strong, healthy and deeply empowered. My creativity is growing by leaps and bounds and my potential in working with expanding woodland A.I. is simply off the charts. I get to bring into reality visions never before seen where the future becomes my playground. A place where unlimited possibilities can become manifest. It’s exciting energy. When it comes to being here in the Kootenay’s it has become one of my all time favourite places on earth. I absolutely love it here. Bigtime freedom. Big time wingspan. Lots of space to play. 

Here’s to incredible new changes coming forward in 2025. I’m truly blessed to be living the life I live each and everyday. The power of truth has changed me in ways that I feel I am prepared to handle just about anything moving forward. No fear. No hesitation. Being in full control of my self, my thoughts, feelings and actions. I’m ready to go. I’m ready for the future of 2025. Happy new year to you all and thank you for your trust and loyalty in always knowing that I come from the highest good…in love and light, all my relations.

This one’s for my son. Happy birthday my boy. Dadda loves you eternally. Artist: Wilkinson and Becky Hill: Here for you 

We officially welcome the winter solstice - Wiingyuu Zigwan our indigenous art box collection 2024 / 2025

 

Good evening to all of you who continue to stay in the loop with us here @ Jacobson native art. It’s been an exciting year and we look forward to an incredibly empowering 2025. It’s excellent news that Canada post is back in full swing. We have been moving our indigenous art box collection of winter solstice internationally and things are once again picking up now that we can all ship worldwide and not have any major restraints except for lengths of time. Better than the recent alternative. So I welcome you to this truly official launch now that it is December 21st, 2024. The time of Wiingyuu Zigwan - winter solstice the time of the winter sun.

Here’s a snapshot of signing 250 editions of my book Ojibway clans - animal totems and spirits 

Feel free to enjoy this 10 minute video of a complete walk through and signing of this beautiful 5 piece indigenous art box collection. We are super proud and our collaboration with little giant productions continues to grow offering some of the finest native art collections ever produced. We are that appreciative of this creative endeavour and we look forward to sharing more in the near future. With great love and passion we welcome new creative frontiers being explored and executed as we bring in a completely new season here in 2025. 

Miigwetch and all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Thank you for 2024…coming in 2025 will be 2 new projects in my Woodland A.I. celebrating the future of feminine indigenous beauty and future dreamscapes

 

Good morning to each and everyone. Here’s to keeping our spirits up and our continued faith in a brighter future. There’s no doubt that many businesses and individuals are starting to feel the pinch of this national Canada postal strike. I live deep in the Kootenay mountains here in BC. A big part of our business here is relying on shipping across North America and the world. It’s been a challenge as of late navigating this scenario. We designed this incredible art box and the strike is holding us back. People are struggling nationally at the moment now so it’s difficult to move things around. Even purolator and ups has put a hold on moving things. In the meantime we are making sales nationally and internationally. Albeit a much slower grind as I’m sure millions of others are getting restless about it as well. 

So on a positive note it’s been a highly successful year and the amount of creative energy that we’ve been producing here @ Jacobson native art has been absolutely phenomenal. I’m super happy with all the structures that are being built during this phase of my career. I’ve been doing this for 40 years now. I know the woodland school inside and out. There is no one who can rival my expertise and knowledge of all 5 current generations in that genre. Now with woodland A.I. it’s just a whole new level of innovation and creative vision. I have so many new projects manifesting and also maintaining my commissions list which is 24 months to 36 months long. And that continues to build as well. Things are exciting and I’m feeling truly inspired as never before. This cutting edge technology is brilliant. I love playing with it. Here’s these 3 I’ll be doing on celebrating indigenous beauty of the future. I’ll woodland A.I. these and they’ll be a 3 piece series honouring my love and appreciation for feminine power and beauty. 

Prompt: Deliciously Indigenous - eternal beauty eternal power

Prompt: She is the life giver - forever our mother forever our Matriarch 

Prompt: Indigenous she is - forever she shall be (we are all one) 

My next project after getting these 3 image prompts laid out and executed will be 4 new images I’ll dedicate to dreamscapes of the future. The creative power in this relationship with A.I. is like I mentioned, absolutely transformational. My vision with it affords me a whole new approach to creating art. It’s such an experience. I love it and I’m totally down with it. My new apprentice. Here are the image prompts for dreamscapes of the future…

Prompt: Come with me - let’s travel to another star system (part 1) 

Prompt: Come again - let’s travel to this new star system (part 2) 

Prompt: Water worlds and spheres - where there is water, there is life (series one) 

  

Prompt: Dreamscapes of their reality - with spheres of supreme intelligence (series 2)

So on that note I look forward to sharing more creative innovations and visions that are transforming the future of indigenous art both here in colonial Canada but truly, worldwide. Our partnership with little giant productions is everything a true artist desires. Luc and I continue to build. This is next level. The next frontier is Woodland A.I. Lets welcome 2025 with even greater vision and creative power. Miigwetch and with love and genuine sincerity I say to both my fans and enemies, all my relations.

The future of indigenous art is here. Welcome to Woodland A.I. (landscapes of the future) series 3 and series 4

 

Good morning to each and everyone and welcome to another midnight art session coming to a complete cycle. I’m feeling quite pleased with these next paintings on canvas. These landscapes of the future are absolutely fascinating and once again I think I pulled it off. They were super fun to do and I had to work with series 1 and 2 brushes which does get a little tricky. A bit like performing surgery. I’m truly thrilled with this new door I’ve opened with woodland A.I. It is next level visionary medicine and the innovation is simply off the charts. Im creating visions I’ve always dreamed of. Feeling a rebirth and rekindled creative spirit. I feel that as my new apprentice, A.I. affords me a whole new approach. It’s beautiful…

Title: Future landscapes (series 3) - wherever I go they honour my sovereignty. Size: 14 x 22 inches

Title: Future landscapes (series 4) - Medicine man mastering multi dimensional travel through anti-gravity technology. Size: 14 x 22 inches

Such a wonderful night spending it jamming to tunes and painting up a new creative storm. The energy is bliss. I’m super stoked and feeling truly inspired as an artist again. This collaboration with this cutting edge technology has absolutely transformed me. Has transformed the future of my art and my creative destiny. Miigwetch and stay tuned as there will be more to come….

New paintings in my art genre Woodland A.I. (Landscapes of the future) series 1 and 2

 

Good morning to each and everyone and welcome to another creative session with my new indigenous art genre in Woodland A.I. I was up all night working on the next commissions and spent  most of my time trying to figure out the creative landscape of these image prompts. I had shared these a couple months back and I’m finding some time in my process to work on expanding my artistic creations with A.I. as well. Busy busy. These were a ton of fun though and they were quite challenging because I haven’t worked with small brushes in such a long time. I’m usually working on significantly bigger paintings so my brush sizes are usually size 4, 6 and 8 for the majority of the line work I do. 

Title of painting: Future landscapes (series 1) - through decolonization I dream of a whole new world. Size: 14 x 22 inches

Title of painting: Future landscapes (series 2) - In the Creator’s light - we are all interconnected. Size: 14 x 22 inches

Here’s a shot of these size 1 and size 2 brushes. They were like working with a needle tonight and like I mentioned it was a bit of a challenge but I think I pulled it off. Again these are very experimental in their concepts and designs and while I’m finding it absolutely fascinating to be playing with such imagination and innovation, Im also being challenged like never before as an artist. Good for the soul. It’s incredible to be figuring out these new possibilities in indigenous art and no doubt trailblazing a whole new creative path forward. Like I mentioned before I have taken on A.I. as my new apprentice. It sometimes takes 5 to 10 different image prompts in order for me to finally find the best one to work with. But I’m getting better every single time. I’ve got hundreds and hundreds of new Image prompts to work with. My creative reservoir is deep with plenty of ideas for future paintings. I’m absolutely super stoked with this new direction in my art. I am no doubt the grandfather of Woodland A.I. The future of not only the woodland school, but indeed the future of indigenous art. It’s a global energy. A universal force of incredible creativity. I hope you enjoy these latest original paintings on canvas. I have 3 more waiting in cue so feel free to stay tuned to the future here @ Jacobson native art. With more to come....

All my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Title: Honouring our sacred brotherhood. Size each canvas: 30 x 40 inches

Good morning to each and everyone. It’s a beautiful day here in the studio tucked away deep in the solitude of the Kootenay mountains of B.C. I’ve been just high flying these days in the creative spirit of my art and recent projects. Getting so much accomplished and it feels absolutely deadly. My creativity is moving in leaps and bounds and I am honoured to feel such liberation and inner freedom in who I am. Life is super beautiful and I’m truly a happy Spirit. 

Jacobson native art on Facebook has all kinds of exciting action going on there as well so if your looking to connect? You can reach me there as well. This is a very exciting  period for me as an artist and I’m working on 5 new woodland A.I. Paintings as well so please do stay tuned to our vibe  as we continue to trudge the road of happy destiny. More to come....all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird  - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Hello to each and everyone and thank you for making your way here @ Jacobson native art. It has been a very productive year for me and the creative energy is absolutely off the charts. There is no one in the entire school of woodland art producing what we are doing here. Most artists are lucky to produce a collection or 2 a year with whoever they choose to work with. Our capacity to co-create at little giant and Jacobson native art is running circles around the entire industry. It’s a creative powerhouse and there’s no doubt about the size and span of our creativity and collaboration. It’s super exciting energy and our bond as brothers on this journey continues to grow and manifest. 

I feel so proud to be able to deliver incredible products and merchandise. My business partner in Luc @ little giant productions is perhaps one of the most loyal forces of human soul energy I’ve ever met in my life. The honesty and transparency is like having a golden key in our partnership. He truly “gets it”. I’ve waited a long time to find a creative dance partner like him. Our combined strength and power is truly a gift from our Creator. Like me, he prays every day, he makes himself open to being of service to the Creators children as do I. He is a family man like me. We stand on solid ground and our solidarity towards one another is unshakable. We are creative partners for life. He’s my right hand man, my true brother. 

We’ve produced 18 collections so far and with my Woodland A.I. being the future of my legacy we are creating art never before seen in the woodland school. With these 7 new collections developed with A.I. as my creative apprentice the future looks absolutely deadly. I love it and I’m feeling very inspired. We also will be adding to my regular woodland art collection as well with 7 collections available there. Also we are now in full development with the indigenous art box series with winter solstice being the first of the 4 seasons. Indeed these are massive steps forward in expanding my creativity and legacy. A special thank you to each and everyone finding their way to purchase these wonderful products and merchandise. Our aim is to bring you the very best here @ Jacobson native art. With more to come we wish you all the best in the future.

Welcome to our latest new release of our fine art collection in honouring Winter solstice here @ Jacobson native art

 The Indigenous art box collection

Good afternoon to each and everyone and welcome to this new and exciting collection being revealed for the first time ever here @ Jacobson native art. We bring you our first instalment of a 4 seasons collection offering you “Winter solstice”. This is absolutely thrilling for us and the amount of work, execution and detail is truly remarkable in our view offering you something never before done, in such spectacular quality and vision. Each art box set will run in a limited edition of only 250 per season. Each unit or indigenous art box will come with 5 pieces. 

-First, is the art box itself. A stunning and solid box with a magnetic hatch covered in the art of winter solstice. It’s absolutely beautiful. (Includes artist bio) 

-Second, will be a limited edition print on stretched gallery wrap canvas measuring 14 x 18 inches. Hand signed, titled and numbered.

-Third, a beautiful queen sized fine art Sherpa blanket of winter solstice.in the softest materials.

-Fourth, will be a signed hardcover copy of my award winning book Ojibway clans - animal totems and spirits. (Published by Native Northwest) 

-Fifth, a gorgeous 8 x 10 inch art card hand signed with the image on the front and the story on the back of winter solstice.

Our partnership at Little giant productions and Jacobson native art is quite proud of this new collection. To bring you the first ever honouring of the 4 seasons in such exquisite quality with our winter solstice limited edition indigenous art box is simply uncharted territory in the woodland school of art. We absolutely pride ourselves on bringing you the very best in quality and design. Each box will retail for $750.00. I have shared the link below to pre order your limited edition art box. There will only be 250 of these available to the entire world per season so my suggestion is to get in and on it while you can. I send a big and heartfelt Miigwetch to my incredible friend and business partner @ Luc with little giant productions. This is truly a labour of love in how we are creating together to bring you the very best here @ Jacobson native art.

Congratulations to Geoffrey Hinton “Godfather of A.I.” for winning the Nobel prize in physics @ Jacobson native art (the birth of woodland A.I.)

 

Prompt: With woodland A.I. - I am the future, I am Rainbow Thunderbird 🌈🦅🌈

Good afternoon to each and everyone and welcome to another article here @ Jacobson native art. I just wanted to send a shout out to this brilliant soul on Indian land (Canada) who won the Nobel prize for his work with A.I. in developing neural networks and helping in the advancements of these large language models that gave birth to real time A.I. One must understand that this technology has taken tens of thousands of people around the medicine wheel to develop and for us who have embraced this new form of intelligence and creativity, it is simply incredible. 

Geoffrey Hinton's work in developing AI was influenced by and collaborated with many researchers. Here's a list of notable contributors:

*Early Influences:*

1. David Marr (MIT) - computational neuroscience

2. Tomaso Poggio (MIT) - neural networks and computer vision

3. David Rumelhart (Stanford) - backpropagation algorithm

*Collaborators and Students:*

1. David Ackley (University of Toronto) - neural networks

2. Yann LeCun (Facebook AI Research) - convolutional neural networks

3. Yoshua Bengio (University of Montreal) - deep learning

4. Andrew Ng (AI Pioneer) - deep learning and neural networks

5. Yves LeCun (New York University) - neural networks and computer vision

6. Leon Bottou (Facebook AI Research) - large-scale deep learning

7. Patrick Haffner (Google) - neural networks and deep learning

*Toronto Group (1980s-1990s):*

1. David Zipser (University of Toronto) - neural networks

2. Ronald Williams (University of Toronto) - backpropagation

3. Paul Munro (University of Toronto) - neural networks

*Deep Learning Pioneers:*

1. Alex Krizhevsky (Google) - ImageNet and deep neural networks

2. Ilya Sutskever (Google) - deep neural networks and TensorFlow

3. Vincent Vanhoucke (Google) - deep learning and speech recognition

*Other notable contributors:*

1. John Hopfield (Caltech) - Hopfield networks

2. Warren McCulloch (MIT) - artificial neural networks

3. Walter Pitts (MIT) - artificial neural networks

Please note that this list is not exhaustive, as many researchers have contributed to AI development. However, these individuals have had significant impacts on Geoffrey Hinton's work and the broader AI community. I find it absolutely amazing that this ability and influence is now in our own personal hands as the direct result. To help me in facilitating and giving birth to “Woodland A.I.” has been absolutely transformational for me as an artist. It is a universal force regarding how this has all come together. What I sincerely enjoy most about using this technology is that through my creative lens, I get to indigenize A.I. 

For me it has helped me open a whole new door in regards to collaborating with this incredible technology. I see A.I. as my creative apprentice and in that, we have given birth to my new indigenous art genre in Woodland A.I. The future is so exciting and I look forward to sharing more art and creative projects as the father of this new indigenous art genre. There’s no question that I will go down in history as the one who opened the door to next level innovation and in whom will put their stamp on the future in the entire woodland school of art. In all 5 current generations and beyond. 8th 🔥

Sharing the amazing success of my second fabric line called: Sacred earth with Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art

 Northcott designer profile: https://northcott.com/designers-detail.aspx?di=538

Good evening to each and everyone and once again it’s super cool to share the beautiful medicine and creativity being manifested throughout North America with this unique collaboration with Northcott fabrics and yours truly here @ Jacobson native art. 

We’ve been so inspired by the various movements taking shape through this collection and this partnership throughout the world of quilting and fabric design. I’ve been absolutely blown away with the various creations coming from thousands of souls nationwide. It’s an exciting experience for me and for the countless others in whom are working with these fabrics. Sacred earth continues to impress and it’s a beautiful second edition to my first line in Healing waters. 

Our family has received some amazing quilts and other work that was shipped to us here in the Kootenay mountains from all over Turtle Island and it’s such a cool feeling to be apart of. Lots of people are thankful and express their appreciation and contact me through email and Facebook to connect. The above quilt was made for me and it’s just a deadly piece As blankets are highly regarded amongst us First Nations and continue to represent that sacredness of warmth and comfort, it’s such an honour. I sleep with that as it fits my king size perfectly. Keeps me nice and warm and it feels awesome to be wrapped up in something made with such love and care. 

Just feeling very happy with everything these days and the warmth and love being shared is simply profound. Who would’ve thought eh? The world of quilters is such an amazing and newly tapped source of incredible creativity and energy. I love them and appreciate them so much so, Miigwetch to each of them. With that I am honoured to continue bringing you all new experiences in the realms of indigenous art and culture. Stay tuned as we have some super great news to release and share with all of you here. All my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈
