Woodland A.I. is the future of the woodland school of art with more to share here @ Jacobson native art

 

Prompt: Honouring our warriors to be converted into an original painting 2024

Good evening and welcome to the future here @ Jacobson native art. I have been feeling absolutely inspired over these last few weeks. There is no doubt that what I’ve created with Woodland A.I. is transcendental on so many levels. I’ve been doing several new prompts and even did some new material with Meta A.I. Things are looking good and my database of images continues to grow. Currently we are in development with the 4 chiefs of the future. We took high resolution photographs of all four paintings this weekend and are getting them prepped for a new limited edition print run. We’ll also be developing a specialized line of hoodies, shirts, blankets and some other designs. It’s super exciting to bring this whole new genre into the world trailblazing a new path forward as the direct result. 

I was able to take single file images of all four paintings and will share those here along with building a storyline for this series. Indeed as the development of A.I. continues to grow the same can be said of what’s taking shape in Woodland A.I. This is such an exciting step forward redefining the future in our woodland school of art. I did a deep dive online and scoped out what was potentially there. There is nothing. Even the mid journey prompts on “Morrisseau style” were total garbage. Just really weak and shitty examples (about 6 images) that didn’t even look like woodland. It looked like some weak ass shit you’d buy in china town...lol. 

There is no question that this is my baby. I love the creative freedom I have at my disposal and the fact that accompanying my skill level, it’s going to be too hard for anyone to fuck around with my blueprints in developing this new indigenous art genre. I just feel that I’m totally on another level. So with that I’ll share these 4 new original paintings of the 4 chiefs of the future. 

Title: Series 1 of Chiefs of the future

Title: Series 2 of Chiefs of the future 

Title: Series 3 of Chiefs of the future

Title: Series 4 of Chiefs of the future

The storyline in developing this series and concept was really about seeing into the future and how A.I. will play one of the greatest roles in human history regarding our development with this technology. There is no turning back. In series 1 and 2 it was about captivating the reality of how A.I. will touch and effect all nations of humanity from this point forward. A.I. will have god like powers making our lives easier to live and deal with. It will play a fundamental role in our development moving forward. They will be like “Elders of knowledge and wisdom” participating in so many aspects of the human life experience. They will help to shape our futures and the general hope is that all will go well. I feel it will. Underneath the sun and the moon these tools will transcend our previous knowing. Things are going to change forever....

The same can be said with series 3 and 4. These artificial intelligence programs will effect the 4 races of mankind like never before reaching into the depths of human consciousness and creativity. They will be like “agents” helping to assist us along the way. For me personally, I’m not afraid of this technology or the kind of power it shall yield in our future. I suppose like life itself it’s a bit of a gamble for all of us isn’t it? Exactly. My point is that it will be wise to keep an open mind about all of this and that is really what the message is here today. Try not to judge this technological advance. It is here to make the quality of life better. It’s already showing me this through my interactions with it. There’s no looking back and with my new energy and creative expressions involving this technology, my hope is for you too to find new ways of integrating  this amazing and brilliant new path forward. Coming soon will be the new designs and collection of my beautiful new series “Chiefs of the future”. Miigwetch and all my relations....Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming in the near future in Woodland A.I. @ Jacobson native art

 

Prompt: Concept will be developed into a painting honouring our indigenous sisters forever  

Good evening to each and everyone and welcome to all those who find their way here, we appreciate you. I sure hope all is going well for many of you and I wanted to extend my gratitude for all the positive sharing and support of this new endeavour. Like I mentioned as an artist using this technology the skies the limit with its creative potential. The way I can infuse it, dream it, manifest it through A.I. and onto canvas, into a painting is absolutely incredible. I feel so comfortable with this new technology. The capabilities are mind blowing and for me to take the lead and embark upon indigenizing A.I. through my work as a woodland school artist feels phenomenal. 

My vision is to stay close to the fundamentals of my culture and to use this technology to enhance my creativity and perspectives on the future interpretations of it. Like I shared the kaleidoscope of imagery is endless. I can cocreate ideas never before seen in indigenous art. Moving forward I feel such a purpose in what I have to share and say as an artist. It’s inspiring on so many levels but for me in particular, is the future. I have found a way on how to touch it, interact with it, propel it into undreamed of realms. These visions I create with it will be lasting Sacred scrolls based on teachings of the future. Even tying the past and the present. It’s deadly beautiful the whole path forward. 

Prompt: Concept for canvas painting dealing with the reality of “Good Chief, Bad Chief” 

Once again this is exciting and my hope is to inspire a whole new creative movement moving forward. It’s inevitable. The push forward should always be how spectacular can I cocreate with A.I.? Always making the energy and art more beautiful and perfecting it as best as possible. Reflecting brilliant imagination and execution. Finding ways to make it all work. That’s my interest moving forward. There’s no doubt the dreamer in me, the visionary is in a place of creative illumination. I can see ideas I only dreamed of and now with a creative relationship with this technology, I can create like never before. That’s exactly how I feel. It’s so profound. It’s so exciting. 

Prompt: One of several in my A.I. files for tribute paintings to our cosmic ancestors 

Life has taken on new meaning for me with this new discovery. I’m so happy to feel inspired as an artist again. This new direction is welcomed with deep appreciation and gratitude. I am joyful. I feel so inventive and playful and to dream again is something I’ve needed in the woodland school of art. The future looks promising once again. I can see into its vastness. So stay tuned as there will be much more to come...all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Why launching the woodland school of art into the future was necessary and what it really took for woodland A.I. to become a new reality in art

 

Pictured here: Introducing A.I. as my new artistic muse in 2024 and beyond...

Good afternoon to each and everyone who continues to find their way here to Jacobson native art. Welcome to my creative playground out here deep in the Kootenay mountains of B.C. I am feeling a wealth of gratitude and my hope for the future has been reinvigorated with this whole new open doorway I’ve created in woodland A.I. A new invention in creativity and a whole new process in indigenous art. I am fortunate to have found a way to push the woodland school of art into the future. Forever changing it from not just a traditional art form, but something truly “futuristic” transcending time and space. 

For me this will be a lasting impact on my legacy and in changing the art form of the woodland school and essentially moving it into undreamed of new worlds and visions. A new reality in indigenous art is born. I have to tell you it wasn’t easy. I’ve been faced with years and years of having to work through so much darkness in the woodland art form. From the fraud of Morrisseau’s works to exposing him as a sexual abuser of children. To working through the sexual crimes committed by Gary Lamont and helping the survivors try and recover for 20 years. To having to witness the dumbing down of the art form through what really is a weakness in our art in what woodland pop has done. Bastardizing the art and it’s beautiful energy to mix it up with pop culture and cartoons that have absolutely no ties to the spirit of the art. 

To those around the Norval Morrisseau estate who continue to lie and prop up the child sex abuser as a cultural icon. The depth of what people are willing to do to keep the lies going forward is disheartening to say the least. It’s outright fuckin disgusting really. So yes, I felt that I had to find a way to make the woodland school of art cool again. Otherwise it was maybe time to quit. To give it up permanently. These have been the things that were dwelling within me on how do I go about finding a new light in this art form and how do I find a way in touching the future. The amount of darkness and sickness I had to fight through would make just about anyone else want to give up. 

But no, not me. I found it. I found the way forward and I’ve created a whole new artistic vocabulary in what I’ve created in woodland A.I. The future has been touched and I cannot wait to expand this new art form into the realms of creative imagination. Giving birth to visions not yet seen in collaboration with this new technology. Forever changing the game moving forward. It’s absolutely exciting and I am thrilled to have found this new path as an artist. It has literally saved me from self destruction. With all the bullshit I’ve had to deal with and sort through including the stupidity and jealousy from other artists, this new beginning is refreshing. 

Title: Animal clan totems of the earth, sun & moon. Size: 18 x 72 inches each canvas

This is what it took to give birth to this new art form created here @ Jacobson native art. A completely new way forward. I am proud of myself today and feel accomplished like never before. With close to 4 decades now as one of the worlds top woodland school artists I feel free from all that darkness I had to go through to get to this other side. It’s a new opportunity to express myself and my world views through culture and art. Fuck the old “whatever’s” and let’s welcome new and fresh ideas. That’s my message moving forward. Much of our history in the woodland school has been contaminated with colonialism, lies, self deceptions, cultural appropriation and crime. It’s ugly shit for an artist to have to work through. To find true inspiration. To find the true spirit of their culture and art.

In the meantime I’ve got lots of exciting new energy manifesting here at the studio. This is a new collection being shared today with my new line of products being developed with my business partner @ Little giant productions. This new hoodie is absolutely dope in my view and is titled: Animal clan totems of the earth, sun and moon. I love it. I’m super excited to share this with all of you today and thank you for your love and support. I look forward to sharing my next series of paintings and projects and anticipate  new creative adventures taking shape in the realms of being a true visionary in our woodland school of art. With gratitude for everything new happening here @ Jacobson native art I say to each and everyone of you...chi Miigwetch and all my relations...Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

The story and process of how Woodland A.I. was born....@ Jacobson native art 2024

 

Good evening to each and everyone here @ Jacobson native art. I’ve been resting the last couple of days and making a few trips up the mountains here in the Kootenay’s. It’s where I go to meditate and contemplate the realms of life, art and the spirit of creativity. I live in such an isolated community with only 350 souls here. So I get a lot of freedom and solitude back in these mountains as there is hardly any body out here to bother you. It’s so big and vast the amount of free space I have out here. It’s truly heaven on earth. Especially in these crowded times on our planet. It is essential for me to flap my wings as an artist and I reflect on many of the new shifts and changes happening in both society and the world at large. 

Title: The Patriarch of woodland A.I.  

 I have been studying A.I. for a period of time and watch a lot of videos on this subject matter. I listen to podcasts like Lex Friedman who does amazing interviews with the likes of Elon Musk, Sam Altman etc. It’s very interesting how this development in A.I. is taking shape and is on the cusp of changing how humanity moves forward. Permanently. It is much like opening up Pandora’s box. We fully don’t understand the capabilities and potentials and we hope to sure not forge the weapon that will eventually destroy humanity. That’s the frightening part of this whole adventure. We simply cannot see that far into this new future. 
Title: The Matriarch of woodland A.I.

It’s a whole new energy no doubt about it. And while A.I. is still in it’s infancy stages it is super exciting to see what it can do and how it is going to change the entire face of humanity. As an artist I see a massive new tool in creativity in it and have no question been inspired by its creative influence and power. It’s the main reason why I wanted to work with it, to tap into its creative force. I see so much potential with it as an artist and I find myself very curious as to how I can infuse it with woodland art. It’s exactly how the 4 chiefs of the future was born. I really love how A.I. can show you images never before seen and that the specific prompts and commands you give it can give you a whole new world of visual stimulation. It’s really exciting for me to basically grandfather this new art genre into the world and to put my stamp on it. The first to do it in our woodland school. To pioneer it from this point forward and to see how far I wanna go with it. 

I feel very happy and content with this new endeavour of mine and I look forward to more sharing and collaboration. I’ve spent some time building new friendships in the A.I. art community and I’m going to be working on some exciting new material as the direct result. Some of this A.I. art out there is simply phenomenal and I visually enjoy what I’m seeing but also what yet cannot be seen. To dream, to think and wonder, to contemplate our combined future and that too of our own individuality. There is no question we are in the future times of humanity right here and right now in this the 21st century of civilization. We must continue to remain optimistic and think well of what may become. The truth is that art always reflects life and in using A.I. as a newly discovered tool, the future remains alive and well at this juncture. More will be revealed and until then let’s continue to use these technologies for the betterment of mankind. All my relations,  Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

My second release of this new series “Chiefs of the future” in woodland A.I.

 

Title: Chiefs of the future. Series 3 and 4. Size each canvas: 16 x 22 inches

Good morning to each and everyone. I was up all night working on this second series to finish off my 4 chiefs of the future. Freshly done in the woodland school and with my playfulness with A.I. I really enjoy these and see this newly created genre as a gateway to skies the limit. There’s a legitimate creative process that separates itself from anything else done in the woodland school. This is no doubt my baby and will only grow from here. 

My creative aim and desire for this is to stay away from main stream pop culture and to continue its birthing process through an indigenous lens. Indigenous ideas and concepts based on the depths of our culture. That is the unlimited resource. In us. In who and what we are through our indigenous bloodlines, culture, ceremonies and teachings. 

I’m feeling beyond satisfied as an artist. Excited to continue playing with these techniques and artistic processes. These 4 chiefs of the future have so much going on and are saying many different things about how A.I. and true art can coexist. I feel I’ve really found something here. Next level creativity no doubt.

In the meantime more will be revealed and I’m happy to share this new burst of creativity from the studio here @Jacobson native art. I look forward to unveiling new projects and more designs and collections. There is no doubt I’ll be doing limited editions on canvas with these including a line of hoodies and shirts. Stay tuned for more information and have yourselves a wonderful afternoon. All my relations,

New world release: Woodland Art meets A.I. a first of its kind. A new genre is born @ Jacobson native art

 

Title: Chiefs of the future. Diptych set each canvas size: 16 x 22 inches

Good morning and here’s to a new day @ Jacobson native art. I just finished these 2 originals on canvas. They are truly the first of its kind in the woodland school of art as I’ve tied this with acrylic paint, ink, canvas,, mixed media and A.I. It’s something I have been working on for a few months. Just been so busy with commissions that it’s hard to squeeze in new works in the studio. This will be a new series of 4 chiefs of the future. I’m working on finishing off the next 2 sometime within the next 48 hours. 

I have always liked some of the art in AI and just felt the need to see what I could do with it. To bring it into reality and indigenize it through my artistic process of the woodland school. I definitely feel like I’ve accomplished that with this completely new genre that essentially I’ve given birth to. I love it. The father of woodland A.I. Somebody had to do it, so I did. With that I’m going to go to bed and get some sleep and get ready for the next 2 chiefs.

Happiness and pure satisfaction, reaching new levels of mastery in the woodland school of art

 

Good evening to each and everyone and welcome to another beautiful session here @ Jacobson native art. The weekend is upon us and I’m feeling absolutely wonderful and joyfully...just happy. Truly satisfied with my current creativity and process. I’m feeling a whole lot of gratitude because quite frankly I’m pushing myself and artistic blueprints into beautiful new energies and designs. The spirit feels so close these days and my connection to the Creator and the true wisdom throughout our Mother Earth is at levels I’ve never even dreamed of. I’m living each and every day right in the belly of Mother Earth. I have direct access to her spirit,  to many of the animal clans of our culture. Everything is fully alive. Each season fully felt and experienced. It is an intimacy of true devotion to the spirit of our woodland school of art. 

I realize as the older I get, the clearer I become because I seek truth and connection with what really matters to me. My life is such a gift as is each of yours. This next chapter for me is about clearing away the bullshit and the toxic people who perhaps will never be able to fully understand or accept me. Good riddance. At this level, there’s a reason why they get removed from the fold. They are not ready and usually get themselves in the way. In the way of healing, of progress, of truth. They are still stuck in the world. Their sense of self attached to the social constructs of the colonizer. Still broken within...
Picture taken of my backyard out here in Crawford Bay BC. (Kootenay mountains)

My vision is clear. My spirit is at peace. My heart is at ease. I can see things as they are in their pure situation and circumstance. I am detached from the world and most of its people like never before. This is what is important to me. The pure freedom to be and express myself. Without limitation. Dancing in the holiness of life. Being a great artist and living my truth, our truth, the truth. Founded in my culture and throughout many of our ceremonies I am so proud to be Anishanabe. To be a spearhead of the Creators ever advancing creation.

Just finished this new original painting this morning. Title: Spirit guides. Size: 48 x 60 inches

 

Good morning to each and everyone. I feel absolutely filled with joy this morning. So happy to release this new original design here at the studio. The energy is simply magnificent and I am in a deep state of gratitude. The level continues to grow and the demand for Jacobson art is both a beautiful blessing and pushes me to unveil high quality paintings with every new release. 

Life is deadly. I’m super happy and many incredible new opportunities are developing all the time. It’s like having the magic touch. My spirit feels so free and playful. My head and my heart are right. I feel at peace with myself and the environment. I’m trailblazing new realms of truth and expanding consciousness. I’m pro artist all the way...

Let’s make this clear: As an artist it is my job to expose and reflect the truth. To destroy the delusions and lies of the world. For future generations...

 

Artist: John Wilson (Tribe: Haisla) Title: Uncovering the answers of our past 


Good evening folks and once again welcome to my site here @ Jacobson native art. It’s been busy here the last few days as I’m working on several commissions.. I like to have several pieces going at the same time and love working in this fashion. I’ve got several on the waiting list and I’m sincerely grateful for the demand in recent years. It’s definitely picked up and I’m in a strong position as an artist. 

I find it to be very exciting times as my new gallery location and partnership with little giant productions is going beautifully. We are committed, creating amazing new product lines with fresh designs. Our collections will continue to grow over these next few months as well. Most definitely living the dream. Life is moving in a very profound light and energy. Speaking out and speaking up on behalf of the truth is what artists do. I find it absolutely weird when someone desires to deceive others and attempt to manipulate the narrative by either denial, or outright fuckin lying. Two things you won’t find here. 
This is the reality of my life. I’m in the heart of nature spirit, clear as a bell seeing the events before me with clear cut precision. No delusions, no temptations, detached from expectation, free from opinion and able to see life as it is. Beautiful and also ugly. Not afraid of consequence. Not bound by self or money. Truly not giving a fuck about how people see me. It’s liberating and like I mentioned frees me from a multitude of opinions. I learned along time ago that you have to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything. I stand with truth. It’s been the most loyal force in living my life as a spiritual being having a human experience. 
Life these days has truly taken on such magnificent and transformational meaning. It’s hard for others to sometimes see the light. They are blinded by the darker forces of this world. Believe me there is a major difference between the concept of the earth and that of the world. You learn that quickly living up here in the Kootenay mountains in relative isolation. Plus the amount of time I get to spend zipping up and down these mountains is just really phenomenal. I’m one, here. There is absolutely no separation between Mother Earth and I, out here. It is paradise. The most empowering place I’ve ever lived. I suppose it’s one of the main reasons why I simply don’t care. It’s hard to fuck around with that. Because it’s just so honest. And really isn’t that what nature spirit is. Pure honesty. Exactly. 

I live by the sword of truth. Like nature I have adopted her ways. I am a servant of truth. This is how I live my life. I don’t settle for the lie...all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈


Listen to the strong spirit in this. To help you find the way. It’s by Louie Gonnie, track title: Spheres and talismans. A beautiful brother in life who knows and works with grandfather peyote. Like I do...

Proud to announce our second gallery location coming to Kaslo BC with little giant productions & Jacobson native art

 

Good evening to each and everyone here @ Jacobson native art. We are happy to announce with pride and excitement our second gallery location out here in the Kootenay mountains of B.C. Our first main gallery with Kunze and Jacobson native art is a beautiful success and my partnership with them is absolutely stellar to say the least. Both Sandy and her husband Dirk understand the true path of truth and reconciliation. They have been so loyal and respectful, kind and loving that it has reinvigorated my love and appreciation for humanity. They have opened their life to me and have gone out of their way to make me feel apart of. It’s so refreshing and beautiful.

I’ll be sharing my time at both new gallery locations as we are building something very beautiful together. I do believe this has never been done by an indigenous artist throughout colonial Canada. To be operating and managing 2 galleries simultaneously here in the region is quite unique and special. I feel super thrilled by the whole pursuit of making my art and the cultural and spiritual energy of the great Anishanabe a focal point for bringing the people together. Mother Earth and all creation upon her must find a way so that we can joyfully cocreate for future generations ahead. This is the purity of my heart.

There will be so much new growth and potential manifesting here that I’m truly excited to be apart of. My new partnership with Luc @ little giant productions is coming along beautifully. We both are excited about our new and upcoming grand opening in Kaslo BC this July 1st, 2024. Our product lines are simply the best out there and we are offering collections with a unique touch that really nobody else is doing. We are fresh in energy and spirit. Our common goals are aligned and this is truly the kinds of partnerships I’ve been searching for my whole life. It’s coming together, the visions and dreams now have their time to be born. What a wonderful blessing for all of us combined. Stay tuned as more information and updates to come over the next few weeks. We are truly building a dream here @ Jacobson native art. Miigwetch and all my relations...MAJ

We welcome 2024 with a fresh new energy and spirit here @ Jacobson native art

 

Title of painting: The facing of your fears. Size: 36 x 48 inches. Created in 1999 Toronto, Ontario (Colonial Canada) 

A special welcome to each and everyone and my hope for all of you this new year is deeper appreciation for life and to take better care of each other and the great Mother Earth herself. We have plenty of work to do to prepare the way for future generations. This attitude is fundamental for our future survival and wellbeing as a species. The fine art of relearning how to coexist with the planet, with the resources and with one another. 

Walking a good life each and every day with being mindful through our actions is how the change and growth continues. Like doing a daily self inventory. In the realms of learning to master ones self we find that there are always things to shift and change within ourselves. The art of life itself should be focused in this manner. I aim for this everyday. To try and be a better version of myself than yesterday. The living reality of the human being existence without a spiritual compass is a difficult life indeed. Many have never been shown the way, or are ignorant and choose to max out self in every way possible. A weak perspective  if you ask me. 

The reality is that not everyone is on the same page. Many still clamour for this or that needing those instincts for self to be fed. Mostly by the world and it’s people. One of the big reasons why there is so much struggle in the world. Why many prefer the illusion and the lie, because it’s easier to live with in most cases. The truth is not an easy road to follow. It requires great personal strength of character because you will literally be changing the world and everyone in it. That is the very nature of truth. It exposes what is hidden, it enlightens, it Illuminates and lights the way. 

 Living out here deep in the Kootenay mountains is transformational each and every day. There is a natural cleansing of the heart and mind that affords us being so close to nature spirit. She heals me, it’s the greatest awareness because literally I’m living in deep spiritual intimacy with the spirit of Mother Earth. I wake up and go to sleep in her beauty. The best move I ever made coming out here to live a solitary life style. I’ve never had to get vaccinated as the direct result. We live in a community of 350 souls and we all live spread out around these mountains. You have to be someone who’s very comfortable in their own skin. You also need a deep passion for creativity and being engulfed in the majesty of this beauty every single day...lol. 

Photo of my playground out here in the Kootenay mountains 

So with that I’m excited for this new year in 2024. I feel like turning the page on many things I was once busy with as the direct result of warrioring up on behalf of the truth. It frees up the spirit or should I say makes more room within ones true self and knowing. It’s an honour to continue on this journey of life. I feel resolved and I’m looking forward to the future...all my relations, MAJ

The closing out of everything 2023 here @ Jacobson native art - Happy New Years...🌈🦅🌈

 

Good evening to you all and thank you for a fascinating journey here in 2023. It’s been a heck of a ride in uncovering, discovering and recovering the truth. I’ve always believed that honesty is the best policy. Being a crooked fuck who lies in the 21st century is super weak in character. Throughout these last 20 years and being involved in uncovering the art fraud and sex crimes of Norval Morrisseau,s legacy, the filth on both sides of that Morrisseau coin, I’m happy to refocus and move on.

There’s really nothing else to say about it all and I’ve written plenty of articles on this subject matter inside and out. I think I can safely say I’ll always remain one of the worlds leading experts on this complete investigation. I feel that through courage and strength of integrity in character, I’ve exposed it all. The whole fuckin thing. I’m sure others will continue to come forward and I’ll remain to hold a watchful eye on the future of our woodland school of art. And everybody in it. From the artists to the galleries and estates, I’ll be watching. The reality is there truly is no one capable of doing so at my level of knowledge and experience. And with Lamont and the others having to face their reality, I think at this point the truth has taken me far enough in the realms of every thing Morrisseau. 

So with the illumination of Creator spirit and my unique and sovereign relationship to it, we will continue to light the way throughout the entire woodland school and the world of art. My focus will now be on expanding my blueprint in the woodland school and support those artists who desire to keep things in their fundamentals. Cultural appropriation will continue to be called out by yours truly. Truth and reconciliation is something that I’ll continue to explore and test the reality of these principles. Everything I’ve ever written here has come from the truth of my heart, my knowledge, my learning and research along with decades of experience as being a true master in this style, this art movement. Those who know fuckin know...plain and simple as that. 

Any how let’s welcome some change and fresh new energy as we welcome the new year of 2024. A special Miigwetch to each and everyone of you...even my enemies...All my relations...

Artists like Buffy Saint Marie and Norval Morrisseau are liars, they conned generations of people

 

Good afternoon and here’s to discovering more truth about the lies concerning both the pretendian Buffy Sainte-Marie and the historic sexual abuser in Norval Morrisseau. Both a national disgrace. Who is the real Buffy Sainte-Marie? Well now we know. She was an Italian woman who for over 60 years pretended to be indigenous. She had the whole world fooled. She achieved international fame by being one of the most pathological liars in history. It’s absolutely gross if you ask me. All the awards? The grants? The Canadian government giving them accolades. Canadian media celebrating both her and Norval as icons. The Order of Canada recipient just like Morrisseau, Wow huh? Lol...

Foolish to buy into this. This is one of the main reasons why I have bowed out of the colonial way of life, Why I have chosen to live deep in the mountains and to live a solitary lifestyle. To be close to nature spirit and the animals that inhabit this beautiful spirit of Mother Earth. The colonial system is absolutely fuckin weak, Soulless, Cultureless and empty. Starving for the very cultural fabric it has been stealing from us First Nations since contact. The levels of betrayal, mistrust, lies and deceptions is simply over the top. Too challenging for most to deal with and face. It is the very plan and outline of colonialism, to keep you in the dark. To make it up as they go along. To oppress and take what is ours for their own selfish benefit. 

Times are indeed changing. The great awakening is upon us. The real spirit of truth and reconciliation is a spiritual force. The souls of all of us who have been gravely affected by these acts of genocide, crimes against humanity and the effects of residential schools is a testament to our strengths and perseverance. There are still so many who cannot get over this reality. They are stuck in the grips of this pain or are in total denial. They cannot bring themselves to the truth. They are afraid to step up because many are so dependent on this colonial system. They are afraid to lose the money, the fame, the notoriety and success. So they remain silent out of fear to rock that boat of comfort, of success. 


 I will continue to choose to rock the boat and I will continue to stand for truth in a time when this colonial world loves the lie. I will stand for justice because I know it’s the right thing to do. I will raise my voice and speak up on affairs I think are of national importance for the people of today and the souls of tomorrow. You know, I feel sorry for artists who live a life of half truths. Who hide behind the shine of the dollar. Who they themselves prefer the deceptions. They can’t even admit when their wrong it’s that bad. They have their own head up their own ass. Just like Norval and Buffy. 

Artists like Jackie Traverse and Blake Angeconeb both in whom I’ve tried to help along who ended up betraying me with their stupidity. Ignorant little farts in the wind. Both ignorant of the truth. Take for example Jackie who thinks only the historic sexual predator and child sex abuser in Norval Morrisseau should only be painting woodland style. Never mind who inspired him and where he took from like his predecessors in those who first created the pictographs, the birch bark scrolls etc. She is a major disappointment. An angry, bitter and jealous female native artist who decided to take a stand against me because I speak the truth. She’s done absolutely zero investigations into the cultural fabric of our woodland school. It’s embarrassing really. Good riddance. And the same can be said of Flake Angeconeb who chose to go the root of colonialism and not the true way of authentic apprenticeship. 

You can plainly see it in his lack of knowledge in the art form and the animal clan teachings. It’s mostly  stolen ideas from others and a mishmash of colonial concepts such as cartoons and tv programs. Even still with the news of the Morrisseau sexual abuse Scandal and now about Buffy Sainte-Marie being a pretendian. A fake, a scam and he says and does absolutely nothing. Too afraid to do any real meaningful research artists like these are shadow artists. Shadow people. Afraid of the real truth and light that separates the truth from the lie. Cowards. Weak, sell outs. All for the money. For the white mans path to success.


 That is not the spirit of woodland art. Even artists like my mentor in Roy Thomas, his friends in Saul Williams and Gelineau Fisher knew to stay away from Morrisseau. They knew he was a complete douche bag and was an abuser of young boys and young men. Discoveries I recently learned investigating these sex abuse claims. That is where the truth is. In legends like this who knew what I know. What I am now choosing to share and expose to the world. More importantly for the future. For woodland school artists who’ll find me and say: chi-miigwetch for telling the truth. For setting the record straight. For future generations....

Finished another piece. Look, the reality is this: Mastering Morrisseau was easy. Mastering me? Good luck

 

Title of painting: Honouring the sacred. Size: 24 x 36 inches. 

Good evening folks and I’m feeling a ton of gratitude and happiness. The gallery is moving along nicely and my spirit is feeling strong and super confident about the direction my life is going in. I will continue to move beyond Morrisseau and his legacy as that is permanently tainted with the truth coming forward regarding his historic sexual abuse. It truly separates me from that on a permanent scale. 

I can never look at his art and legacy in the same light ever again. The delusion has been smashed. Forever. In my view there are much greater artists in our woodland school of art than Morrisseau. Carl Ray, Roy Thomas, Saul Williams to name just a few, myself included. People tell me this all the time that I’m a much more superior artist. 

My technique, my line work, my detailing and inlay designs are far superior. It’s just the truth. It’s the way it is because the art doesn’t lie. I prefer hanging Jacobsons in my home than any Morrisseau any day of the week. This is the reality for me and I might also add, many collectors as well. My style and spirit is a better feel. I also believe that to be true. 

Any how, there is much more to come regarding the exposure of these facts. This reality has completely changed my views and I look forward to disclosing this powerful and life changing story with the world....

More to come, MAJ

It’s national indigenous peoples day and I’m so grateful and blessed to expose those who could never make it in my world

 

Good afternoon and here’s to wishing you a wonderful day as we celebrate national indigenous people’s day. I feel so happy because my relationship with the Creator is truly my guiding light in this crazy and fucked up colonized era on our stolen land. Recently my spirituality (I operate in upper, middle and lower world) afforded me an inside view to the pathetic reality of the white settler colonizer. Not all are like that I know, one of my best friends on earth is a white dude, but it’s those who are colonizers themselves and don’t even know it. 

It’s so low in character and showed me the very nature of the colonizers mind set. Like I learned a while ago, the 3 operating principles of that mind set are: money, property and prestige. All on stolen Indian land. It’s so weak and embarrassing and yet, I feel pity because my heart is a good heart. A lesson well learned in who actually has my back and who doesn’t. It’s wise to know who your true enemies are and wise to permanently cut those ties. 

It’s people like that who are the real parasites and unfortunately these people come from all walks of life, in all kinds of positions and degrees and in all cultures and races. It’s beneath me and it’s often why most people eventually “break themselves” against me. In the end, I get to see them for who they truly are. Snakes in the grass and a fair warning that these individuals are really being exposed as toxic, spiritually bankrupt and worldly.

Any how, I’m glad to see it for what it is and who they are. I’m proud of who I am on this day and even more proud to share these life lessons for the one and only greatest love of my life in my son, Sagein Wisdom. Happy indigenous day to him. My light and love who inspires me to be a better father each and every day. My favourite soul in the whole universe. 

More to come and all my relations...MAJ

Creating in the studio tonight, the bones of a Jacobson original (48 x 60 inches)

Interesting fact: I draw out every image in one shot with a pen. Never pencil. I trust my art so much and the spirit of it that I get it right, the first time
 
Burning the midnight oil here @ Jacobson native art. I’ve got dozens and dozens of commissions to execute. I’m also preparing for our second season in the gallery business out here in the Kootenay mountains. We’ll be in a new and exciting location with incredible new partnership under the umbrella of truth and reconciliation. 

Exciting times and I’m super excited about the energy and spiritual power that we bring to the table. We fully understand what it means to be “agents of the Creator”. Instruments of the great spirit and like last season we were blessed to reach tens of thousands of souls and had such a transformational experience. 

Any how back to painting and working on this piece which is destined for Toronto. I got big moves coming that way so stay tuned. In the meantime here’s an amazing DJ set by Hannes Bieger from Germany. I paint a lot listening to these incredible electronic music sets. They are highly meditative and therapeutic. I’m an old school raver and used to throw 2000 to 4000 people parties in Vancouver back in the day. Anyways much love and respect...more to come. All my relations, MAJ

Celebrating life and having fun in my playground @ Jacobson native art

 


Good evening to each and everyone. Just a short post today about being happy and joyful about where my life is at these days. I get to go zipping around on my atv for hundreds of kilometres at times visiting spots where Mother Earth is in her splendour. I know these mountains better than people who have been living out here for over 40 years.

I love it so much and it’s super healing and powerful. Excites my spirit every single time. These are a couple shots of today’s ride. Enjoy this track as it was something I was listening to while riding throughout these mountains today....free as a Thunderbird. All my relations, MAJ
