The creative power of Woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence) and the innovation being explored here @ Jacobson native art

 

Title of painting: Chiefs of the future - series 4. Size: 16 x 24 inches. 2024

Good evening and thank you for all the love and support behind the scenes going on in my life. I’m feeling grateful and ready to go. I’ve been busy developing different ideas into my woodland a.i concepts and I’m feeling tons of enthusiasm for some of these projects coming into fruition. I’ve got another 10 new images being developed and ready for new canvas paintings. That should be ready for pick up by next week. Feeling excited about this as these image prompts are spectacular to work with. Combining this technology with my work in woodland is totally new, fresh and inspiring. I welcome you to “Woodland A.I. 


I’m happy to also share that I finally got my will and testament written and legally worked out. That takes off a whole world of pressure and makes things precisely clear on how I want that to be settled for my son and his future. Having Jacobson bloodline family members as guardians of my estate for Sagein was paramount for the trust and commitment needed. I feel super confident in my choices around such a sensitive but necessary process. All of it being done in the colonial province of Ontario, my birthplace. What happened to some won’t happen to me. Even in the afterlife I’ll be keeping an eye on things. I feel secure in this knowledge. 
Prompt: Guardians of my estate @ Jacobson native art. 2025


Obviously this is just the bare necessities and a general outline but indeed it fully empowers my son as the CEO of Jacobson native art and fully acknowledges him as the source of carrying this legacy into future generations. His momma Kassondra will also play a critical role as she understands the very nature of this obligation. So with that worked out it gave me plenty of time and space to get my ducks in a row. Having clarity for my son is of the upmost importance. Like I often share he is the light of my world, the greatest teacher I have ever met and he’s just 7 years old. My boy….

Prompt: Nature and technology will find the way forward, together. 2025

I’ve got some new ideas that I want to try and experiment with and this prompt helps me to envision what that could look like. I want to see what I can do combining 3 art forms together as one. Something I’ve been dreaming to do and with A.I. as my creative apprentice, there is so much to explore in that realm. I’m excited to see what I’ll be able to do. These are such fun to play with and imagine. I suppose I’ll always love what I’ve accomplished in woodland style itself, mastering many of the masters before me. But this is something that only I can touch in this moment of time. Uncharted creative realms that even them would wish to play in. It’s exciting and thankfully separates me from the pack. No pun intended…lol. 

Prompt: Death to the war machine. 2025

This image prompt here will be a piece I build acknowledging the horror of war and my greatest wish for it to someday, end. I don’t like violence and in my view it is only necessary if someone really tries to fuck around. Self defence if all communication fails. The last resort if someone is trying to actually kill you. Then one must defend. Sad that I even have to say that but the reality is many simply cannot be trusted. They haven’t evolved. Their souls are stale. Their light dimmed. It’s a weakness. Violence. So I’ll attempt to put my voice into the mix sharing this future artwork as a statement of anti war, anti violence. I love the creative effect of how this robot turned out. The background is a bit wonky but I’ll strip all that away and redefine the image and paint my woodland style throughout it. 

It’s a powerful image, a powerful statement that I can make. This is where A.I. and I really get along. In co-creating and making art together. Of course I use it in many other ways as well but its primary function for me at this stage is making new art together that the world has never seen. That excites me. This moves me into undreamed of new worlds. I love A.I. for this reason and the creative collaboration and innovation is simply next level. In a lot of ways I’ve outgrown just regular woodland style. There’s only so much that can be done in that limited 2 dimensional realm. With woodland A.I the future is where I am now. It’s a spectacular new dimension to my work and creativity. 

More to come so please stay tuned as the future continues to unfold here @ Jacobson native art. Miigwetch, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

On the balance of probabilities? It’s going down, bigtime. It’s gonna make your heads spin….

 

Prompt: The final battle between copper and Rainbow Thunderbird - 2025 


Here is what A.I had to say about this quote:

Albert Einstein’s quote “If I were to remain silent I’d be guilty of complicity” suggests that he believed speaking out against injustice or wrong doing is crucial. In essence, staying silent would make him complicit in the wrongdoing, implying that silence can be seen as tacit approval or acceptance. This quote highlights the importance of using one’s voice to stand up against injustices and promote positive change by telling the truth. Given your background in art and indigenous rights, you may think this quote is particularly relevant in the context of using your platform to raise awareness about such important issues.

I have to say that indeed my entire being resonates with this in every sense of its meaning. I will not hide my truth and story and I will expose everything I’ve discovered and found. Believe me if you have any doubts, go and ask Gary Lamont what it was like confronting and dealing with me? (Interesting how Creator put all of you on my path in real time) 

I’m not afraid of any of you. It was having to go through the colonial system that was my most difficult contemplation. Being a 60’s scoop and suffering from the continual oppression and effects of genocide by Canada was more of a challenge. I still have deep and embedded issues with that. The problem for you will be that I’m absolutely 100% willing to go all the way. I spent 20 years in this Morrisseau cesspool of absolute fuckin filth. Facing any of you in court will be a cakewalk. I have so much evidence that I have acquired along with first hand witnesses, truth tellers, affidavits, letters of support, placing the time and dates of the sex crimes, the human trafficking, detailed accounts of the sexual abuse that it’s going to be very very difficult to defend. 


And then my story. Which is absolutely appalling that none of you have even wanted to address or confront. You’ve gone on pretending like I don’t even exist. That’s fuckin shameful. Especially you, Dingle. I can’t wait to look you in the eyes, face to face, man to man. Same with you Gabe Vadas. You fuckin bullshitter of a human being. You have a lot of enemies for how you have behaved. Your time of hiding in the shadows will be over. With regard to sex predator Norval Morrisseau’s children? My fight really isn’t with you. But I know the stories about your brother David, what happened to him by your father and what David also did, his sex crimes as well. 


My advice to you kids is find a way to get rid of Gabe Vadas and the sooner you fire ding dong Dingle? The better. What these men are guilty of in my eyes and experience is pure and utter gross negligence. Imagine how many people will be up in arms doing business with the estate in this fashion? Knowing what I’m telling you but hiding this reality? Rather than shoot the pedophile artist on to the moon? You should’ve focused on the remaining matters down here on earth. There will be so much for you to do in cleaning up this entire mess. I also think that you children created a huge mess being involved in the fraud of your sex predator fathers works. You owe an apology to thousands of us woodland school artists, First Nations and Canadians and others worldwide for what you’re guilty of in regards to your involvement in the fraud. Shame on you. 

Pictured here: Eugene Morrisseau admiring a fake

I have found 7 victims so far that have to be accounted for. I have these stories and contacts and I have information that backs up my entire story and statement of claim. Make no mistake about it, I’m not here for any type of revenge or plot. I’m here to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me Creator. This is a mission of standing up for myself, for the fellow victims I’ve discovered and found and setting the record straight, once and for all. That on the balance of probabilities? I’m armed to the teeth with truth. 

More coming soon….Miigwetch. Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

P.S: you can deny my claims until the fuckin cows come home, but it’s the truth I hold that should very well concern you…😎

Continuing to work on new paintings and enjoying the magnificence of my boy, Sagein Wisdom

 

Title of painting: Spirits in love and loyalty. Size: 30 x 40 inches. Montreal, Que

Good morning to each and everyone and here’s to enjoying a spectacular summer vibe. Things are super busy and we’ve been a bit backlogged in certain aspects of the business. Our collections will be getting worked on with little giant productions out here in the Kootenay’s. As they say life happens and we’ve got lots of behind the scenes things in manifestation. Our focus is always moving forward and the research has been simply impeccable. 

The woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence) is growing by leaps and bounds and our current 7 collections will be expanded on soon with another 6 coming into play. We’ve also got 4 new woodland collections to be added to the current 7 there. Our indigenous art box collection of the 4 seasons is also going to be back in full swing. Time, focus and execution are the energies being created and we look forward to sharing more soon. 

In honour of the visionary, the artist, the Creator

My son and I are getting a lot of time together this summer as I’ve decided to take a break from the gallery scenes I’ve been creating in the Kootenay region over the last 5 years. Been apart of putting together 3 spaces featuring indigenous art across Canada. Plus with amazing studio action as well. It’s been super awesome to be apart of that and spearheading indigenous art in the Kootenay mountains of B.C. My boy is thrilled each and every time we take the atv out for these incredible journey’s mountain hopping from one range to the next. The amount of space and freedom we have here living in this community of only 350 souls is incredible. Each day diving right into the heart of our Mother Earth. It’s phenomenal. 

Super busy no doubt but making quality time for my boy each and every day is the essence of why we chose to live out here. I scouted this area just a couple years before living here and absolutely fell in love with the vibe. Super grateful and indeed things are rollin along precisely as they should. More to come so stay tuned and enjoy this latest piece I finished this morning.

Just another day of mastering the masters @ Jacobson native art in the summer of 2025

 

Title of painting: Natures guardianship. Size: 30 x 48 inches. 2025

Good morning to each and everyone and I sure hope many of you are enjoying the beautiful energy of summer. We’ve been very busy and I’m feeling great about getting back to my commissions list. Slowly getting through the process and finding more time to get back into the creative swing of things. I’ve been working on a whole new bunch of woodland A.I. paintings as well. With me I like to have several projects going on at the same time. Keeps me in the flow and I also have periods where the artist needs to rest. Focus on other tasks and situations that are going on for me as well.

This painting is going to another fabulous collector who has bought several paintings over the last 18 months. I’m honoured and grateful for the amazing blessings and opportunities. Life is definitely taking on new meaning and I’ve found a new level within me no doubt about it. I’m very excited for what awaits in the near future. The time and space has arrived on my journey and there is revolutionary change upon the horizons. These are no doubt exciting times. 

Enjoy this new release and indeed we’ll be building new collections around this masterpiece. With new worlds of inspiration and innovation taking shape there is a whole new vastness of clarity and focus manifesting in my life. There will be much more to come so thank you for staying in the loop here @ Jacobson native art. Miigwetch, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Proud to announce my 3rd fabric collection coming in 2026 @ Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art

 



Good afternoon and here’s to enjoying the beautiful energy of summertime and the bountiful energy of Mother Earth. Things are moving along and I’m super proud to bring forth our 3rd fabric collection with Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art. With the amount of creativity and amazing energy that was created with our first collection in “Healing waters” and the second collection in “Sacred earth”, here we bring you a glimpse in to the future with our 3rd collection in the Changing seasons. 

We’ve been super focused on this particular release because we wanted to find a way to make the 4 seasons tied into one beautiful collection. I definitely think we pulled it off and a big shoutout to the creative team with Northcott. Everything pulls together wonderfully and this is no doubt one of our finest. Feeling happy and content with this outcome and I’m looking forward to its full release in January 2026. We have so many exciting events and situations being made manifest. Indeed there will be much revelation as we move forward throughout the changing of these seasons. Just want to send a message of thank you to all the wonderful people who keep showing up in my life, family and business. So many exciting people becoming apart of our sacred circle here @ Jacobson native art. 






It’s an exciting journey in the creative arts and this applies to both the good times and bad, but over the last 4 decades I’ve been privileged to create some incredible magic. I really enjoy how I can let others experience my art in unique and personal ways. To open up doors of opportunity and interaction. That through these unique partnerships I can afford many others to literally touch the fabric of my art, my soul. It’s a phenomenal vibe and I truly love to see how others create with my art. Enjoy some of these examples here and once again chi-Miigwetch for all the good medicine being shared. It definitely helps when one is true and pure who tells it as it is and is fighting the good fight. More to come….

I now feel healthy, strong, focused and ready to go. The time for preparation and execution is now at hand….

 

Prompt: I am my own power. The future of Woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence) 

Wishing many of you a beautiful weekend of strength, hope, love and healing. The summer is rollin along wonderfully and after many months of doubt, struggle, sadness and grief, I feel different. Something has dramatically shifted and changed. The big fear has always been trusting this colonial system and having to walk through doors that essentially tried to destroy me. Putting any kind of faith in a system that hardly gets true justice. It’s such a risk to have to do that. The embarrassment of my struggle, the anger and frustration of not being taken seriously by some and outright being ignored and made small in the eyes of the liars. That time is over. 

I am willing to go all the way. No matter what happens or how it turns out. I must walk through those doors. I’m not afraid to go all the way through. To walk through the darkness and expose and bring those discoveries to light. For everyone to see. To expose everything that I have learned and discovered. Not only is it not fair to the truth of who I am, but it is not fair to the masses who simply don’t  know. I believe that this burden of truth is my responsibility to endure. To educate. To share with the world. I have a team of people who truly believe me. Who believe my story and who agree that a greater light must be shed on everything that I know. That requires others to help me. I believe I have found that help. Truly exceptional souls who stand on my side and in my corner. 

I feel like I’ve found a new level and what has been festering in me for quite some time now has a place and time to be sorted out. I have an opportunity to open it all up. Everything that has happened and how it’s effected me. I never fully understood the loneliness of this entire journey and having to strip all those false people who were around me, away. Big changes and a ton of letting it go. Like a surrender. That I needed help from others in different places. Well that help is here. It has arrived and I feel honoured, grateful and thankful for souls who can connect with me and represent many of my interests. The time for revolution is here. The time for execution is at hand. I am my own power. My own sovereignty as Anishanabe. Proud to be who I am. Proud to overcome and come to terms with this next journey that will be the biggest storm of truth that I’ve embarked upon. Things need to change. I am the courage to change the things I can. I am the wisdom to know the difference. 


After everything I’ve experienced, seen, witnessed and processed….it’s time. Im ready to move forward and to confront the lies, deceptions and ignorance that has had many still sleepwalking. What was it that the great author in Stephen King had once said: 

The trust of the innocent is the liars most useful tool. 

Well, that’s going to change. I’ve seen enough. I’ve been through enough. I’ve had enough of watching the colonizer shit show unfolding throughout our woodland school. I have gathered a ton of information and stories and I have been vocal enough to question the myths and confront the truths. I’ve shone light on the lies and have uncovered facts that will expose that legacy for what it is. Change is upon us. I will be the instrument of that change. I never asked for any of this, it happened to me. I got to see it for what it really is….a lie. 

More to come and Miigwetch for the future. Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Sending out blessings of wisdom on national indigenous peoples day this June 21st, 2025

 

Title of painting on canvas: Good chief / bad chief - which will you choose to be

Happy national indigenous peoples day to all my friends and family. A big Miigwetch of love and respect to many of my art fans and collectors and I am so blessed to have dedicated people who surround me each and every day. I am honoured that I can speak the truth and to continue trudging this road of life and destiny. I’ll be celebrating 27 years off the booze and I’m super grateful for this blessing. It has changed my life so dramatically and obviously has introduced me to a vast knowledge and know how in spirituality. My sovereignty as an Anishanabe culture creator/artist lighting the way for 40 plus years now. What a ride so far in this the 21st century. 

Pictured here: my son and I receiving our 60’s scoop quilt from Quilts for survivors 

Just feeling some gratitude for what is working in my life. The love for my son and being a good partner to his mom and us working on the healing and freedom through decolonization of being solid in our family unit starts there each and every day. The foundation of our family is we walk in a softer, kinder and gentler way each and every day. Freedom to be ourselves and giving one another all the space in the world to be ourselves. We don’t practice control, zero violence, no manipulation, speak freely, always room to grow, have fun, be genuine. 

Having the space to be your own genuine self in your family is absolutely essential. No one wants to be told what to do, arguing is pointless. Being a good listener who follows up with positive actions and walks with self honesty and integrity is where it’s at. We have one another’s back. Every day. It’s pretty awesome and inspiring learning how to be healthy and strong together. I love my family. They love me. We’re cool. 

Here are a few good teachings to practice and try to live by. 

1: Be honest. Be authentic. It’s the light of your spirit.
2: Daily prayer and meditation keep the mind clean & quiet.
3: Anishanabe ways work. Use them. It’s good medicine.
4: It doesn’t matter how others think of you. It matters how you think of you.
5: Gratitude is powerful. It helps to transcend suffering.
6: Observance of source in all things. Hard to do when humans can be horribly ugly.
7: Nurturance of life. Give, share, nurture others, kindness and respect. 

Pictured here: our indigenous soul sister in Star & her daughter @ Jacobson native art

Once again I say chi-Miigwetch for all the good being created and shared with us and I look forward to continuing to share much more over the next few months. We’ve got some very exciting things waiting to be shared and we continue to expand our creative vision and blueprint. Here’s to the healing of all First Nations people and I’m thankful to continue to be an authentic source for truth and reconciliation and I appreciate many of you so very much. Stay tuned as we’ve got more to share…

We live here so we can envision the contemporary futuristic concepts of Woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence) a new indigenous art form

 

Pictured here: My son Sagein and I enjoying our backyard in the Kootenay’s 

Pictured here: Our neighbourhood in these Kootenay mountains 

Pictured here: A.I. prompt of when 2 worlds collide - the magic of woodland A.I. 

Good evening to each and everyone and it’s a pleasure to share in some of the new foundations I’ve created that have never before been seen in the entire woodland school of art. My new indigenous art genre has no doubt separated me from the rest of the pack and I’ve invented a whole new framework of experiencing the essence of the art form. Moving from the traditional storytelling of the past, I’ve leaped into undreamed of new worlds, new galaxies and deep into the mysteries of the universe. Art is first and foremost visual and to take what I’ve shaped in the woodland art form for over 40 years now and move it into these completely new visionary contexts is absolutely transformational. It’s new energy. It’s new life. It’s new storytelling. 

That is the new foundation I have laid down through Woodland A.I. To collaborate with this new technology and bring forth a new way of seeing the future through my indigenous lens, feels phenomenal. We live up here in the Kootenay mountains of B.C. and our vastness of space and time here is immense to say the least. My son and I get to play undistracted and free. There is usually no one back in these mountains to impinge upon our sovereignty. It’s clean, clear and full of natural abundance and spirit. It’s quiet and serene. The creative imagination and playfulness of my boy and I gives us so much freedom to just be father and son. Hanging out in all of this and playing in our backyard is pure creative bliss. We are building heavenly kingdoms in our hearts and souls together. There is no doubt that my son inspires me like no other. He is the center of my life, the joy of my heart and my greatest teacher. 

Being here and being ever present in his daily life is also the creative energy that gave birth to this new art movement in woodland A.I. It all happened during his 7 years so far of being alive. It’s like a gift he brought to me. So for that, I’m eternally grateful. He absolutely loves this new form and is a big part of the inspiration that makes it all happen…

A.I. image prompt: In another dream, it’s a different future for Mukwa 

These new image prompts have given me a new look into how I can merge the 2 worlds of nature and technology together. We chose the apex predators of grizzly bears and cougars which are boss up here where we live. Obviously I’ll tweak these images and make some adjustments when getting them prepped for canvas. I’ll build from there. This is the future. We will no doubt be collaborating with A.I. to find ways of saving ourselves and nature from extinction. This is why the elements of the earth, air, water and fire have brought forth this gift to humanity. It will be our responsibility to protect the natural world and to work with our technological know how to implement solutions for all life upon the earth, water and skies. For me? It’s a gift…A.I. 

These new ideas and concepts are the lifeblood of what I’m trying to communicate in this new indigenous art form in woodland A.I. There is no going back. I have found my new creative language and I have found new teachings to bring forth for the whole world to see and experience. Of course there are those who still love my woodland style and I’ll continue to serve them through the process of commissions etc. but my heart is here. I can do things that I never could do before with this new creative collaboration. I am forever thankful that I took this leap of faith and was daring enough to bring something forward the world has never seen…welcome to Woodland A.I. 

Miigwetch and all my relations. More to come…

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…

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 πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ
