Creative update plus a reboot of this painting titled: I am woodland A.I. - I am Rainbow Thunderbird

 

Good evening to everyone who continues to come by and spend some time here @ Jacobson native art. Just wanted to share that everything is rolling along here nicely one day at a time. I’m feeling happy and content with where my heart and spirit is at. Creatively I’m up and down a bit but these new works bring a whole new burst of excitement and imagination that quite frankly I’ve been searching for on some new level. I think I’ve discovered that here with my new genre in woodland A.I. 

The new innovation taking shape through my view and creative interpretation with using this next level technology in A.I. which for me stands for: “Anishanabe intelligence”. I am Anishanabe and yes, I’m intelligent. So with my personal experience and indigenous lens, I get to shape it in how I see fit. Not even A.I. itself is capable of putting it together like I can in Woodland A.I. It takes me to make it happen. I’m the instrument willing to channel this new creative horizon with all these unique aspects and qualities involved in that creative process. My visionary mindset and intelligence in how I choose to make it all happen is the spark of that creativity. Without me? Nothing happens like this. It’s a cool vibe for me to spread my wings and fly…

I retook the image of this painting titled: I am woodland A.I. - I am Rainbow Thunderbird in a shaded natural light setting, out doors. We can plainly see the difference in colour saturation in the examples of this post and the one below it. The first image I took in doors with an art lamp. Shines the colours differently but I think this second photo in natural light outdoors is a significant difference. The feel of the work of art feels more complete and in colour sync. I’m pleased with the outcome and we are currently in process and development on our little giant productions platform of 10 new collections being prepared to the already 16 collections being currently represented. We’ll have 6 new woodland A.I. images and collections being released including 4 new woodland art images and collections being built. Very exciting times. 

In the meantime I’m working on my commissions list and building more woodland A.I. paintings in the process. I’m also spending so much quality time with my boy in Sagein Wisdom. He’s 7 years old now and over the last 6 months has developed an obsession with mathematics and learning how to take pictures and videos. We get to spend every day learning and loving this incredible journey of life together. He is no doubt, the light of my world. The centre of my universe. The greatest teacher I’ve ever met. The patriarch of the entire Jacobson bloodline. The CEO of Jacobson native art. Stay tuned my friends and indeed there is much more to come…

All my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Welcome to Woodland A.I. the next level of innovation expanding my visionary creativity into the vastness of the future

 

Title of painting: I am woodland A.I - I am Rainbow Thunderbird 14 x 22 inches

Good evening to each and everyone here @ Jacobson native art. Been a busy weekend getting new canvases prepped for my next creative cycle regarding my list of commissions and such. Feeling joyful and quite satisfied with these 2 new releases of my new indigenous art genre in woodland A.I. Once again it was very challenging to work with these smaller brushes and I did some experimentation in these pieces as well working with acrylic paint pens and found them to be a nice addition to working with smaller pieces. 

These were a whole lot of fun and I see so much creative potential in this new discovery. I love playing around with these interesting concepts and ideas. I feel myself being challenged and looking at my artistic process in a whole new dimension really. No doubt pushing the boundaries of the entire woodland school of art into the future. To tell you the truth, I can’t even look at regular woodland art anymore. I’ve found a completely new level for me and there’s no stopping my unlimited potential in how I can collaborate with this technology. For me, woodland A.I. stands for Anishanabe intelligence. It’s an incredible gift this new technology. From the Fire and Water spirits, those elementals creating through electricity and light. Blessing humanity with the ability to shift up the world game on planet Earth in ways that we can only imagine. So imagine we shall. I’ll continue to explore and expand my knowledge and artistic path by moving forward more in this direction as time passes. This new door will for sure be one of the highlights of my artistic legacy.

Creating these works inspire me greatly and I love the energy I get to play with and imagine. It’s truly created a new hope in me as an artist. There’s just so much wickedness and darkness in the woodland school. Many fake artists and wanna be’s tryin their hardest to be a colonial something on the Canadian art scene. It’s really weird when you continue to decolonize. You get an inside view on how the big machine works. It’s fake light. Being in nature is a whole other ball game. It changes you. Your goals, dreams and desires, they change. That has been my experience. I’ve been in the woodland school art scene for 40 plus years now. I’ve seen it all. Pretty much what most are doing. I had to find a new level. I mastered the woodland style and I needed a new challenge. A new direction. A new art form. A new energy in woodland A.I. 

Enjoy these new paintings on unstretched canvas. I really had such a blast making these happen and here they are pushing the boundaries of indigenous art for future generations. With that I say chi-Miigwetch and all my relations. More to come…

Got to chill out with my friend Supaman and bless him with some new Woodland A.I. pieces @ Jacobson native art

 

Good evening to each and everyone and I just wanted to share some “good medicine” that I got to hang out and chill with a fellow brother and warrior for truth. He came up from the states and did a show in the Kootenay mountains of BC. We had a good time and I was honoured to bless him with a couple of limited editions on canvas from my Woodland A.I. series of Chiefs of the future # 3 and # 4. He was blown away with my creativity and felt honoured to bring these back home. Indeed it was and is good medicine for us both. Real recognizes real. 

Any how it was a night to remember and what better way for a couple of warriors for our people to make the connection and spend some time chillin. With much respects and a good heart I say chi-Miigwetch for the great visions and blessings for our combined futures…all my relations…
