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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

What’s new and coming down the creative pipeline here @ Jacobson native art in 2025

Good morning to everyone and once again it’s a privilege to share with you all some new and exciting events taking shape for us here @ Jacobson native art. Ever since I first came out here it was my destiny to build our home and family out here. I scouted out this place the Kootenay’s and absolutely fell in love with the vibe. The potential I saw back then was a total breath of fresh air. I had been living in Vancouver for nearly 15 years straight before my visit in 2015. I knew then that the whole reasoning about coming here was for me to build this next chapter in my life. My son was born in Nelson so that officially makes him a kootenay boy. We love it out here and find daily inspiration. The magnitude and power of nature spirit is  transformational on so many levels. With only a small sprinkle of human beings it’s the perfect setting for family growth and creative energy. Way less distractions and crazy people that you’ll find in every city. 

Big changes no doubt and life moves at a gentle and genuine pace. The relationships that we’ve been able to build here have been pretty awesome. I bring a totally new creative energy that many here have never seen. It’s like a fresh start to something I’ve been mastering for 40 years now as an artist. To carve out a new voice and spirit here in the Kootenay’s has been really refreshing. I’m done with city life. Chasing those stupid carrots out there trying to be a something. You just realize that by being here, those things aren’t that important. In fact out here? They don’t mean anything. None of that will save you from a grizzly attack, or being mauled by a cougar. Or being in the crosshairs of an avalanche. Nature kind of strips all the colonial bullshit away. It’s a beautiful thing to be freed from those desires. From those kinda wants.

Things are moving along at a wonderful pace for me and my heart and spirit are joyful being here and having great people around me who want to create together for the benefit of all parties involved. The levels of honesty and transparency with these relationships is amazing. All my partners know exactly what’s up in my world. No secrets and no hiding. I think that’s why we work so well together. From my relationship with Kunze gallery and my incredible partnership with Little giant productions, we all have a solid foundation with one another. No bullshit or weirdness getting in the way. It’s solid gold energy. 

So indeed I’m feeling really happy about this new and exciting energy and we’ve got some more news to share. As many of you know I did a partnership with Sea gods paddle boards out in White rock, BC. It’s been a phenomenal success and we just closed a new deal with them for 2 more designs for 2025 and 2026. I’m feeling inspired and overjoyed as I try to make decisions about my work regarding how I can place it into people’s hands, into situations of them becoming more intimate and involved with my art. The ability to play in water and go out and experience a beautiful adventure with these boards is super dope energy. The boards are all limited editions as well so it’s not mass produced. Looking forward to sharing more of that with Sea gods. 

My fabric lines with northcottt fabrics are doing awesome and I’m getting to see so much creativity being produced out there it’s extraordinary and satisfying. From quilts, to clothing to wall hangings and footwear, it’s been a fascinating journey and the work being done by Quilts for survivors is phenomenal. I feel so privileged and honoured to be able to comfort residential school survivors through this initiative. Definitely one of the greatest highlights of my artistic career. Real meaningful work. The artistic journey is a deeply profound experience with many ups and downs but if you truly believe in yourself and what you do? It’s worth it. Even though the battles may be difficult and tragic sometimes we must continue to persevere and find our way through. Being an artist is like having a backstage pass to how it all works. Life itself is creative and it is in my opinion the original language. 

THE FUTURE IS HERE. THE FUTURE IS WOODLAND A.I. 

Woodland A.I. has been such a welcome new discovery for me and has no doubt given me new life, especially after all the fucked up darkness permeating throughout the current vibes of the woodland school of art. This new invention of mine not only inspires me deeply but bridges the gap between the past, present and future like no other creative process I’ve ever discovered. It’s incredible to be on the cutting edge of creative energy and power with this technology. I have definitely found my new voice with this art form and this new chapter will be my most important regarding my creative legacy. To be the first ever to do this feels pretty neat as well and most definitely separates me and defines me in my own light. I feel good about that. Woodland A.I. is definitely JACOBSON. 

I’ve got 11 new image prompts being prepared for me and I can’t wait to finally get them this weekend. My business partner in Luc @little giant productions is a big part of getting the images prepped so that I can infuse them onto canvases. From there I prep them with colour backgrounds,  design layouts and final paint applications. Coming up with indigenous art the world has never seen, that we only dreamed of doing. I mean, that’s how I truly feel about it. I see A.I. like my creative apprentice, it takes care of so much for me. It never whines or complains. It does what I tell it to do. And it usually gets it right better than I expected. It’s a brilliant edition to my creative process. So on that note we’ve got some exciting new things coming into manifestation and I look forward to sharing more as we continue to move forward. I’m grateful and thankful for all these wonderful new opportunities and creative paths. Life out here in the Kootenay mountains has been one of the greatest decisions of my entire life. I absolutely love it here. 

With more to come, all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

Exciting new partnership between Sea Gods and Jacobson native art

Title of painting: The spirit of White rock. Size: 24 x 48 inches, 2021

 Good afternoon to all those who continue to find me here @ Jacobson native art. I am feeling quite inspired by this new partnership between my art and Sea Gods, a paddle board company firmly established out of White Rock B.C. I wanted to expand my creative energy and relationship building capabilities under the umbrella of truth and reconciliation and this Initiative certainly fits that agenda, beautifully. 

I am obviously a massive supporter and lover of Mother Nature. She is such a source of inspiration. So it was really a no brainer to connect and create with both Ryan and Mandy of Sea Gods and to collaborate with one another on this new and exciting project. We all agree that the wisdom of healing and connection is with the power and forces of nature spirit. 

This opportunity will bring forth a wonderful and joyful connection for all involved. I am honoured and grateful that we have found a way to bring you First Nations art and culture and have tied this to the craft of paddle boarding. Both Ryan and Mandy are super happy and excited as well. 

This is the first time that Sea Gods has infused contemporary First Nations art into their portfolio. We wanted to collaborate on a theme that meant so much to them as well as myself. We chose the legend of white rock as our foundation. It is a beautiful love story filled with all the emotional power of going to any lengths for the one you love. 

This will be the first of many new designs that we will be embarking upon. To work together in these challenging times with regard to the reality of truth and reconciliation shows us that citizens can do it without government support. We must take the lead ourselves. We are the answer and these kinds of initiatives prove that it is really up to us to create these solutions, together. 

So with that I wanted to say thank you to each and everyone who continues to support my art and creative energy and relationships. I am super excited to be working in these challenging times putting together these kinds of opportunities for both First Nations and Canadians alike. I’ll leave you with this legend of white rock and the story of love and how the foundation of this first design came into being. Wishing you all the best as we continue to trudge the road of happy destiny. 

All my relations, MAJ
