Sharing some good energy and vibes during national indigenous history month here @ Jacobson native art

 

Hello to each and everyone and thank you for all the good medicine being shared and we are deeply grateful for all the special vibes being explored with us here @ Jacobson native art. We are back to building our collections and making new limited edition prints on canvas. We are also proud to announce our invitation to the Banff centre for the arts and creativity virtual art market during what is national indigenous history month from June 1st to June 30th, 2025. We will be showcasing our creativity and collections with other fantastic artists like Mike Alexander, Jessica Somers, Laird Goulet and others. 

I feel good about this project and it’s a beautiful place to live and visit in Banff as I used to live there for about 10 months back in 2001. I throughly enjoyed my time there studying nature spirit up close and personal when I was living in Toronto Ontario at that time. It was a wonderful break from the daily grind of city life. Such a gift to be apart of national indigenous history month as we continue to heal through the process of decolonization. 

Our gratitude and appreciation runs deep to see some of these Canadian institutions learning how to get it right when it comes to indigenous representation. I support this movement of truth and reconciliation across our lands as Anishanabe. Slowly I am seeing more of an awakening as we continue to share and educate across turtle island. That indeed does help me heal. There is still much ignorance and denial but rest assured the truth is getting out there. The cultural fabric of this landscape is beginning to wake up and we must continue to shine the light on these realities. I’m also happy to see the amazing feedback we are receiving from our collections being designed with little giant productions and us here @ Jacobson native art. People are truly appreciative of our level of quality and style. It’s one of the great features of what we do here bringing each of you the very best in quality and standards. 

On that note I say chi-Miigwetch to everyone who continues to embrace us here and I am honoured to be representing the truth of my culture and art forms. We strive to be a source of honesty and strength as we move forward. We welcome you to the national indigenous history month and we wish you a healthy journey of exploration and understanding. All my relations…

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…

Sharing some of my current world views through my indigenous lens @ Jacobson native art

 

No question what took shape yesterday in the colonizer White House is an absolute shame for diplomacy worldwide. What a disgusting set of actions and verbal diarrhea being spewed by American president Donald J. Trump and the vice president in J.D Vance. What a disgrace in how these white colonizers operate on stolen Indian land requiring President Zelenskyy to express his gratitude and being absolutely thankful. Holy Christ it just blows my mind on how severely ignorant these guests on our land choose to operate, even still in 2025. So vile and pig like. So selfish and self centered. So grandiose and asinine. 

I’ve been watching this shit show for years now and it just gets worse and worse and worse. I have to hand my respect for how Zelenskyy handled the situation. I’d get the fuck out of there asap. It just seems so crazy how this continued system goes on and on. It’s such a broken framework of doing business with everyone in the world. Acting in such an insulting way to someone fighting for the sovereignty of his country, his, people, his culture. I respect that. Bigtime. What an insult to such a warrior for his people. I’m choosing to boycott American made. I’m not interested in doing any business with America. I’m stepping away from that. I won’t sell any art to America during this administration. 

Siding with Russia regardless of the behind the scene’s positioning and movements between these world super powers and using Ukraine as a proxy along with the U.N and NATO is deeply ugly and dangerous for everyone involved. The fighting, the killing, the destruction is such a weakness and all of it is unacceptable and unnecessary. It’s not intelligent at all. It’s all fear based and controlling. Such shadow self energy. Not inspiring and dead and heavy, it’s utter ugliness. I fuckin hate it. Much like 2 steps forward and 46 steps back. There’s just no progress in it. So defeating for humanity. All of us. It’s such a shameful reflection for future generations. I want to see way more problem solving and relationship building between all nations. Worldwide. I expect better because I do better each and every day. Even A.I knows better and creates opportunities for solutions way better than most humans and countries. The love and wellness of the future must be at the heart of what we want to create and design as better blueprints for humanity. 

We owe the children of the world today a better plan of global actions helping to lay down a better future for everyone and for humanity to make a greater way for all life. This is how we survive and grow and collaborate with one another. Technology will no doubt be apart of that. Much like how we are open to the advancement of technology in our lives, so should we choose to collaborate with each other on a global scale. As an indigenous soul I aim to find and see the good in who we are and to look for ways through truth and reconciliation as a people to find meaningful ways of continuous transformation. I aim this arrow for the entire world, my future, my son and our legacy. 

I also wanted to congratulate the HAIDA GWAII for their huge victory in reestablishing Aboriginal title throughout their homelands. What a beautiful blessing for the entire nation and future generations of the magnificent Haida people. It will serve as a path forward, a blueprint for future negotiations between us First Nations and Canada. Real nation to nation respect. Treaty partners. I was honoured a few years ago to be invited to the Robert and Reg Davidson potlatch. It still inspires me greatly on witnessing how the entire community of their people surround their artists as the true cultural leaders that we are. I’ll carry those experiences into my very future as an Anishanabe artist forever. 

Enjoy the weekend and once again an honour to share some of my views on the current world scene here in 2025. More to come and enjoy this press conference that took shape today in England with the European allies surrounding Ukraine including an appearance by Canada. I thought it was really inspiring on how they’re trying to work together and support the ending to this war. They stand in solidarity. A lesson that most certainly can be relearned regarding the United States of America. Have a safe evening…

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

Continuing to expand my creativity and new innovation pushing the boundaries of the entire woodland school of art into the future…

 

Title of painting: All souls know who I am. (Tribute to our Creator) size: 48 x 72 inches

Good morning to everyone and a special thank you for all the appreciation and support that I get behind the scenes. Lots of people stand in solidarity with me and in a time where colonialism is still running rampant throughout Canada and in all our First Nations communities, we still continue moving forward a day at a time. We must and this has been the cornerstone of my daily spiritual walk. I communicate with our Creator each and every day. I seek its wisdom, truth and inspiration about how to walk as best I can while remaining truthful and transparent. This journey of life has not been easy by any means for many of you including myself but I feel that we eventually get to a place where Creator spirit is the only way moving forward. I came to a place within myself over 26 years ago where I truly surrendered to the Creator. That my way wasn’t working. That self power wasn’t enough. A spiritual experience. An utter transformation within the mind, body, heart and spirit. I haven’t had a drink since. 

It’s been an absolutely fascinating ride ever since. Like peeling away the layers and getting into the core of who you really are. A spectacular power that resides within. Creator consciousness or God consciousness as many religions of the world would say. Operating from this place is who I truly am. That doesn’t mean to stand back and just let life happen. My will is like a creative instrument. My inner force guided by principles. Much like being an agent of the Creators will. Being of service to others is where real growth and change takes place. Like that old saying: actions speak louder than words. 

Title: The divine elements of creation within the God mind. Size: 48 x 84 inches. 

I’m proud to walk my talk as best I can through this unique mindset and personal relationship with source. My culture obviously plays a major role and although I fall short at times, I continue to put one foot in front of the other. My spirit is steadfast and cannot be broken. I will not change my values to suit your needs. I will represent everything that I am. No excuses and no filter in being honest and genuine. I’m not governed by man in that sense. I am a warrior for truth and justice. My heart feels right about how I do things. Others may struggle with my levels, but rest assured I come to correct things. I come to shine the light. I am a knowledge keeper of this art form and I have a duty to my people to help shine the path forward. That is truly the standard here at Jacobson native art. 

Title of paintings: Chiefs of the future. (series 3 and series 4) Woodland A.I. 

My new indigenous art genre is the way into the future for me. An incredible new path filled with such wild imagination and creative innovation. I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s so transformative and moves the woodland school into the future like no one else. It’s that deadly to me and I’m so inspired by this new breath of fresh air. I just recieved 11 new image prompts and have drawn out 3 this weekend. I’ll post these soon as I’ll be making time for them next week. Still busy with commissions and designing new collections with little giant productions in Kaslo BC. We are looking forward to sharing new releases throughout 2025. In the meantime I’ll share more in the near future and thank you once again for being apart of my creative journey. More to come…all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Sharing our latest collections with Sea gods and a peek into the authentic spirit of what motivates us here @ Jacobson native art

 

Title: Animal totems of the family clan. Size of each canvas: 24 x 36 inches

Good afternoon to each and everyone and once again it is an absolute pleasure to continue sharing the spectacular creativity we’ve got going on here @ Jacobson native art. All decisions and actions that we are taking are always in the best interests of our family and most importantly my son. Setting up the legacy with care, honesty and trust. Our brand is built on solid ground as we continue to trudge the road of happy destiny. We stand in solidarity with the great awakening that is taking shape across our lands. Truth and reconciliation is essential for all of us to learn and grow. Many across the country are beginning to wake up. Realizing that the history was built on crimes against humanity and genocide. That is the foundation of Canada. My efforts here are about reflecting this truth and looking for new plans of action moving forward. I’m fully dedicated to exposing everything I know and have learned. The future is in our hands and not that of the colonizer. I don’t identify as a Canadian, I identify as Anishanabe. It’s as plain and simple as that. 

Title: Harmonizing the 3 folds of destiny - the past, present & future. 18 x 36 inches

The journey continues to unfold for us as we discover these perplexing realities and experiences and look for new ways with regard to finding our way through. I’m super blessed to be in these positions that I am in. I believe that taking the course of actions that I am, the understanding and knowledge I’ve acquired will be most valuable to everything that I’ve got going on. There are things unfolding behind the scenes that will soon become massive public knowledge and awareness. As they say, the truth will set you free. The past, present and future are indeed filled with so much understanding and promise. Im excited and have so much to reveal. These next few articles that I’ve got in development will paint the story for the world to see. All in due time. 

Here are our latest designs being shared with our partners in Sea gods. These new paddle boards are stunning and I’m super excited to be able to share this new project. Having the ability to place my work in the hands of my fans and newcomers to my art is a fascinating process. I could easily make decisions to multiply myself in the corporate world but that’s not the path for me. It doesn’t turn me on. I prefer being hard to find and hard to get. Making limited editions and specialized collections. I’m not interested in the Canadian art gallery scene any longer. I don’t need it and personally find institutions to be cold, soulless and boring. I don’t chase fame or wanting to be a something in the art world. It’s a personal matter for me to be more hands on with my brand, skill level and talent. Sharing my work in more intimate settings and experiences. 

Enjoy these latest releases here @ Jacobson native art and I look forward to so much more in the coming weeks and months ahead. We’ve got several new collections coming and our partnership with little giant productions will have an exciting new chapter as we unveil the new grand opening of our second gallery launch here in the Kootenay mountains of BC. Trailblazing new creative energy and building an exciting future with our collaboration. Sea gods has been a wonderful new addition to building these relationships and we are happy with these results. So please feel free to stay tuned with what we’ve got going on and I’m glad to see so many visitors coming to our sites and feeling inspired with what we bring to the circle. With that I thank you and indeed there will be much more to come…

All my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Enjoy this track by Stil & Bense feat. Lia Paris. Track: 4 lovers (original mix)

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.

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 10 to 25 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....

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 🌈🦅🌈
