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 🌈🦅🌈

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...

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.

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

Enjoy this track to kick off our second gallery enterprise.

Let me share with you about the greatest day of my life here @ Jacobson native art

 

Photo taken Dec. 1st, 2017 @ Kootenay lake hospital in Nelson BC. (Sagein is 2 hours old) 

Good evening to each and everyone and here’s to a healthy and strong new year as we continue to trudge this road of happy destiny. For those who know having a child is reality bending and changing on every level you can think of. The most profound journey any soul can go through. It’s our true purpose. Our son Sagein Wisdom is all of that and more. As I have stated several times throughout many of my articles, he’s the most profound teacher I’ve ever known. The pound for pound greatest champion of my heart. A true living legend that I’m super blessed to help guide and navigate with through this thing called life. Indeed it is true what they say that having a child opens up a part of your heart you never knew you had. It’s been over 6 years now with him in my life each and every day. All of it has been absolutely mind blowing and truly phenomenal on all levels. I don’t want to be anywhere else in life except right here, beside him. 

Ever since leaving Vancouver in 2017 and moving out here to the Kootenay mountains we’ve been living a beautiful and peaceful lifestyle. We live right in the heart of the mountains off Kootenay lake. Tucked away in the hidden landscapes living our dream life. I have access right outside my front door to the thresholds of Mother Earth. Grizzlies comb our backyard, cougars have trails around here. The elk and deer are plentiful and our water supply comes right from the top of the mountain where we live. We breath clean air and are not bothered by corporations or the Canadian colonial government. No cops for 2 hours atleast and we police ourselves out here. There are only 350 souls who live here. Nobody fucks around because if you do? You’ll find out. You can get shot here and there’s nobody to help you for a couple hours atleast. So you learn quickly about the responsibility of community here or your out. 

I’ve got lots of options out here and nobody really knows anything about the woodland school of art so I can fully represent the true living spirit of my culture and artform here. It’s refreshing. Also I’m one of only a hand full of Indians living here so that too is quite fresh and renewing for me as well. It affords me a lot of creative freedom and individuality as I bring a whole new creative energy with regards to what Jacobson native art is. It’s absolutely beautiful to just be myself and bring a new fresh approach to the woodland school or as my great mentor Roy Thomas would say; Anishinaabe art. With me staying true to the actual spirit of the art and perfecting the process of laying it down for future generations. Being out here as a Thunderbird spirit is where Thunderbirds like to be. In places like this. 

This is a shot of Kaslo BC and we lived there for 2 years before moving here to Crawford bay BC. I loved it there and built some strong relationships and memories of the whole region. It’s where I also confronted my generational trauma and began to process decades and decades of life experiences. Having a child will no doubt bring everything up for you as a new parent and you’ll be forced to look at yourself and your family dynamics. You will go either 2 ways. Hide and deny or face it and heal. The spiritual powers inherent in our children are astronomical. Creator like. The purity of it. Transformational. 

Pictured here: Sagein observing his painting I’m making for him. 2019 in Kaslo, BC

This whole awakening of becoming a father and sticking to the plan each and every day has profoundly changed me. All thanks to my little boy in Sagein. The most spectacular change agent I know. It’s so powerful and our bond is the best I’ve ever had. You see, I know the fuckin road maps of what it was like, what happened and what its like now. I grew up with an absentee father who struggled with the bottle his whole life. Never really made an effort when he left after around 7 years old for me. It left a hole in my soul that nothing could ever really fill. A fathers role is that important, it’s that significant. Especially for us boys. 

Title of painting: In honour of our son - Sagein Wisdom. Size: 36 x 48 inches. (Gift to him) 

So indeed the masterful levels of self reflection and the changing of the behaviours and actions from times of the past are essential. To grow and learn how to do things different and not follow those old paradigms is truly a transformational process. It is refinement and a filling of all those holes in your heart that you unfortunately had to endure and go through. That’s why I place the highest values on my son. Because no other force could do it, could get in there. The keys to my heart he was born with. Only his existence could open those doors. A failed childhood filled with major suffering and trauma leaves a lasting stain on your soul. The magic is in our children. I know this because my son shows me the way each and every day. Love, trust, safety and comfort are essential to his wellbeing. For him to fully express himself. A living dynamo of self expression. The very nature of his life to just be. Perfect little him in every single way. All of it the gift of his life, our life as father and son. My true light in this world, why every day is really the best days we've ever had. All my love to you my boy, momma and dadda love you always and forever...

Good evening to each and everyone. Here at Jacobson native art we are proud to share the majestic beauty and spiritual powers of our son in Sagein Wisdom. He truly is the light of my world and each and every day a spiritual force of teaching me how to be a gentle, loving and trusting father. The greatest journey I've ever been on in my 50 years on Mother Earth. 

A beacon of spiritual light that aligns me with the fun and creative will of  the great master itself, our Creator. I am blessed beyond measure to witness this energy and spirit each and every day. The greatest of my loves, our son. So with that, I welcome you all to whom it is a fine privilege to share in this magical life and the one in whom we work for. Our boy. All my relations and more to come. MAJ 

This track is for you my boy. To always know and remember our deepest love and honour for you. In life and in death, I’ll be here for you. This I trust in the great foreverness...

Life and love being shared and multiplied @ Jacobson native art

Things are going absolutely phenomenal these days @ Jacobson native art. Every day is filled with excitement, spirit, creativity and healing. It’s a real dream come true. I feel so grateful and appreciative of this new direction in my life. My gallery partner in Johnny and fellow master artist in Kurtis and the rest of the team is delighted beyond measure. We are all super happy...

Also the creative energy has been picking up significantly and I’m getting ready to maximize the outdoor art studio over the next coming weeks. The temperature will be much more efficient during the fall into Indian summer. So I’m getting really excited about that. I have numerous commissions to execute and this season has been just explosive regarding all this new energy.

Today at the gallery and art studio we had the honour and privilege to clean up this eagle we found a couple weeks back. We feasted the eagle clan and offered our tobacco offerings in a good way. We took care of all aspects of this sacred bird. We believe this was a gift to us from Creator and Mother Earth. The skull is being prepared, 2 eagle bone whistles, tail fan, 2 wings and talons being cured. We know from these signals of the spirit that indeed all is well. We are on the path...and with that I say chi-meegwetch to all my relations and enjoy this Peyote prayer song by Louie Gonnie titled: Spheres and Talismans.

This is how powerful and beautiful it felt for us today dealing with the Eagle...

Preparing for our first “Medicine bag” making workshops this weekend @ Jacobson native art

Good evening to each and everyone. Things have been absolutely incredible here at the new gallery and open art studio. The energy and spiritual force has been transformational for every single visitor who comes to experience us. We are definitely playing in the fields of true healing and inspiration. I’ve been to all the galleries across Canada dealing in indigenous art and everyone who comes here and experiences this agrees, there is nothing like what we are offering and bringing to the table. 

Our combined spiritual energies and alignment is a spearhead for this new and exciting evolution here @ Jacobson native art. We are the platform out here and new model for how these conversations are manifesting in regards to the healing of the cultural fabric of this country, our nation. All who come in to our creative temple leave feeling inspired, understood, valued and deeply appreciated. 

The ancestral power and guiding lights of the souls of our residential school children are leading the way for us. We are instruments of healing, of love and compassion. It’s what these children want, to come together as the human race and embrace each other for the beauty that we are. They desire this unity and healing, this oneness. 

We will be working with master leather artist: Kurtis Staven

He is of Sioux heritage and it is an honour and blessing to have one of our featured artists at the gallery and studio lead us in this exciting medicine bag making workshop.

For more info please leave a comment with your questions etc.

Thank you...MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Going hard and strong for the last 3 weeks since our grand opening here @ Jacobson native art

Pictured here: Finding some time and space to rest
 

Good evening everyone. All has been well here since our grand opening last month. The amount of energy being produced every single day with each and every visitor has been absolutely transformational. They are literally coming in droves and on the hearts of everyone are our residential school children. The outpouring of love, connection and providing a safe environment for these conversations to happen has been soul touching.

When I was granted this vision to manifest this reality regarding the gallery and open art studio, I simply hadn’t seen the levels of healing that are happening. Canadians are sharing their heartfelt experiences and simply wish to be as helpful as possible around these discoveries. They feel horrible about this dark and horrific history and every single one of them has vowed to never want this to ever repeat itself. 

The respect, humility and compassion has been absolutely incredible. No one leaves feeling bad, we share our love and healing. We appreciate them and their heart and understanding. The time for healing this nation is upon us. I see it each and every day at the gallery. It’s so beautiful to be a part of this healing. It’s what the souls of these children want, what they desire. I feel so humbled and honoured to be a spearhead of this transformation out here in the Kootenay mountains. 

This is where I get my time to reflect, to process and heal all this energy. I truly feel blessed to be a voice for our children, in a good way, relearning once again how to walk in a kinder, softer, gentler way. To try and walk in beauty once again. I say chi-meegwetch to all my relations, MAJ 

Enjoy this magnificent prayer song by one of my all time favourite singers in the peyote way, Louie gonnie with: Meditate

We did it. Our new art gallery and studio is open and ready for the world here @ Jacobson native art

A beautiful good morning to each and everyone. I have exciting news to share with you. It’s finally happened and we are here deep in the Kootenay mountains opening up our very own First Nations art gallery and studio. It literally is a dream come true. I feel so happy and joyful. It’s been a vision of mine for quite some time and now, we are here. 

Pictured above here is our Golden eagle which will welcome every single soul who enters our creative temple. It is an honour to be able to share our culture and art with the world. Our passion and enthusiasm is off the charts. Everyone is getting excited for our grand opening this coming Saturday. 

This is room one of three that we are building. This section will house some original art in paintings, carvings, masks, limited edition prints on canvas and various products through my publisher at native northwest. I’ll have a smudging ceremony section as well where fellow souls can receive some help and guidance. 

This 3rd photo showcases where much of the purchasing business will be handled. The atmosphere is deeply spiritual and filled with authentic indigenous art and culture throughout our studio grounds. Our mission and desire is to share our wealth of spirit and that knowledge with each and everyone. This will be a major cultural experience where all are welcome. 

Here in this 4th photo is another example and perspective of our gallery. We will be having a sacred fire pit behind the gallery space with a full on tipi experience with an outdoor art studio. We are also building our sweatlodge and will have that up and running in a couple weeks. It’s been super busy getting ourselves  organized and ready for our launch. Every day is absolutely worth it in every way. I’m so grateful for this amazing opportunity. 

Here’s another shot giving you a view of our room one experience. We have a wood stove here as well to help us keep warm when the seasons change. My partner Johnny and his wife are absolutely stoked. Our connection is deeply spiritual and filled with daily fun and laughter. It’s truly healing how we all share and communicate with one another. It’s so refreshing for my soul as well. 

We even have some Norval Morrisseau art to share with our new friends, clients and collectors from around the world. We will offer sound education and advice when dealing in woodland art. Our love and passion for our culture and art is the foundation stone of this vision. We are here to share our light with all of you. 

Here is the entry to our gallery space. It’s a big sliding wooden door being protected by the eagle staff hanging above. This is a unity staff which will be shared with all my relations. That is the vision and the gift that I was given regarding the development of this space. The ancestors and our residential school children want me to share my medicine with the world. And so....I shall. 

What an absolute blast we’ve been having on our new journey. The excitement and anticipation is so much fun. I really am beginning to feel at home here in these mountains. I love it here so much. I get to wake up right in the heart of Mother Earth each and everyday. The blessings are in manifestation and this dream is now a reality. I am so thankful and honoured to be Anishanabe. To be a voice for my culture, the spirits of creation and our Mother Earth. To walk in beauty once again...

More information and photos to come. I’ll update you all as I continue to explore this new vision with various experiences and new stories. I wish you all a wonderful new day and thank you for being a part of my life, art and journey. All my relations, MAJ
