Let’s welcome 2025 with a bang! So, after 40 years of experience as a master in the woodland school of art: Here is an honest analysis of where things are at

 

Title: I am Anishanabe. Size: 48 x 72 inches

Good morning to each and everyone and like the title of the article says we are going to do a deep dive into the very fabric of the woodland art form and all of its triumphs and struggles and disasters. I’ve been privy to meeting just about everyone who does this art form in one way or another from the first generation to this current 5th generation. It’s been for the most part a very profound journey and experience and I’ve had the honour of mentoring dozens and dozens along the way. Like I mentioned I’m now 52 years old and have now hit the 40 year mark of being one of the top and highly sought after artists in this genre, the woodland school. When talking about the real fundamentals and techniques in the style from each generation to the next, I’d say many who know what’s up would say that I have one of the best eyes in it with perhaps the deepest and greatest knowledge base about it on the planet. Not saying any of that to boast, it’s just the reality and facts of being so involved with it for the last 40 years now. 

The woodland art form intrigued me right away when I was 12 years old in Hudson Ont. I was already drawing at that point but when I saw this native woodland painting that my dad gave his mom, my grandmother, it blew me away. I loved it. That you can see inside the animals. With fierce colours and inner details. I still remember it today, it was of an Indian man in his canoe with a bow and arrow hunting a moose in the bog of a small lake. Northwestern Ontario. My home lands. The very place I was born and raised. It impacted me that my dad would give his mom something so cool. I fell in love with the art form that very day. From that moment on I’ve been on one of the most profound journeys of being a true artist ever since. I love this art. I love as much as I love life itself. Growing up in alcoholism and seeing lots of violence as a child, this art gave me a new life. A new way to see the world. A new way to identify and to seek understanding in my indigenous identity. To reconcile within me these 2 very opposing lifestyles. My search for my culture and the healing from colonialism. That my very life experience at that time was to heal from these wounds and to try and put the pieces back together of this broken identity. Obviously at that time I didn’t fully understand the root causes of that brokenness which of course I now know to be the effects of genocide and assimilation. Super devastating to try and fuck up a race of people like that. 

I know there are tens of thousands who can relate with me about this reality and the challenges of trying to recover from this each and everyday. So yes, the art form has been instrumental for helping me to bridge the gap. As someone who is both native and white it has been a sort of walking in 2 worlds at the same time so to speak. I’ve been coming to terms with that my whole life and the real spirit of this art gave me this opportunity to put it all back together. Me. You. Us. The whole thing. Going through the good, the bad and the ugly. Like a true experiencer of life. Not afraid to dive deep into the ocean. To see things as they really are. In their true light regardless of how dark. And so it has been ever since. The hunt for knowledge and truth. Nature itself is like that. It’s honest. There’s no fuckin around. I respect that. It humbles me to tell you the truth. We learn so much about ourselves in the solitude of nature spirit. About her, Mother Earth and creation upon her. The vastness of wisdom from every generation unto the next. All of it. Meaningful. Masterful. The living beingness of it all. The true foundation and spirit of the woodland school of art. 

Not just traditional but also modern and contemporary. Even diving into the very future and contemplating worlds never before seen. Done in greater creative spirit and visualization, a truly new and advanced  evolution as we now see in what for me is most definitely the next level in the entire art form with my new genre in Woodland A.I. It’s absolutely fascinating and for me to be a living witness to all 5 generations and seeing what’s out there, I know what I’m doing is the next level. I’ll always  appreciate woodland art for the most part and I’ll be clear cut and honest about my thoughts and experiences of what I’ve learned and gone through. I must because I know that there is no one really keeping an eye on it as I am. I will continue to do so because after all it’s the right thing to do. I would say I am like a knowledge keeper of the entire woodland school. I’m 3rd generation, so I’ve got a very keen eye on the insides and outs. The who’s who and many of the up and comers along with some who are rotten bad apples. Culture vultures and unfortunately there are plenty to name and I’ll name some here no question about that. This is like an inventory of the woodland school, an examination of the stock in trade. What’s good, what’s promising and what is ass backwards and is totally fucked up. 


For me first and foremost I’d like to pay tribute to some of my all time favourites. Artists in whom I’ve always looked up to and admired in the woodland school of art or also known as Anishanabe art (in the words of the master Roy Thomas). I suppose I’ll start with Roy because after all it was he who was and who will always be, my chief mentor. The first woodland artist to ever interact with me. To actually spend some of his time with me to teach and instruct me on some of the fundamentals. That’s where I first learned how to actually hold the paintbrush right. That’s where I learned the fine art of clean line work and inlay detail. Roy had always said that I was a true natural. I had my own developing style and to stay original in that. He mentioned how this would be my own style in the art. I love that. That I could have my own voice in how I choose to develop. Like building my own designs and stories through learning from our past, present and future. 

To find my voice through each new painting. And that’s exactly how it’s gone down ever since. Working with him for a brief time during my teenage period was indeed helping to lay down the foundation that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. To no doubt become one of the best to ever do it. To challenge myself and the greatness of others.And do it right. From a good place. Even when fighting darkness. Using the light, the spirit of the art to guide me through. I found sobriety for the last 26 years of my life. Like my mentor in Roy, I found my way out. I’m forever grateful. The next great master who surpassed many before him was and still is  Saul Williams. He’s next level. A true living legend and he probably doesn’t even care much about that. But true masters in the woodland school know full well that Saul is no doubt one of the greatest to ever do it. 

Others that I find in legendary category and status are Carl Ray, Jackson Beardy, Blake Debassige, Gelineau Fisher, Cecil Youngfox, Joshim Kakegamic, Brian Marion, Moses Amik Beaver, Jimi Oskineegish, Lloyd Kakepetum, David Williams, Leland Bell, Randy Trudeau, James Jacko, Gordon Fiddler, Rocky Fiddler, Roy Kakegamic and others from both the Kakepetum and Kakegamic clans with honourable mention to both Daphne Odjig and  Arthur Shilling as personal favourites. 
Over the last 75 years this art form has gone through many different transitions both absolutely phenomenal to horrifically pathetic. From true indigenous practitioners to white settler cultural appropriators who think they’re entitled to do so because it’s such a universal thing that anyone can do it. Not true to many of us who are actually native and try to practice our very culture through the art form. There’s something very weird about a white colonizer who thinks its god almighty ok to culturally appropriate from those poor Indians. They think it’s perfectly fine to financially prosper from someone else’s culture that they themselves, don’t even practice. That’s super weird in my view. It’s like taking up the space and place for indigenous artists to shine and grow, to prosper in the richness of our culture and in ways of Providing support for our families. Most in whom are all recovering from the effects of genocide and assimilation. The road for us First Nations is a 2 different worlds approach and experience. The Creator gave each culture and the races of mankind their own stories and teachings. Each their own historical and cultural approach. Something unique and different from all places upon the earth. 

The fundamentals of my culture are of course about welcoming and being a loving spirit. But also to stand up and be the warrior for truth, justice and honour. These are important teachings regarding authenticity and self truth. Knowing who you truly are and where you exactly come from. There is great importance for me regarding this as I often say you cannot know who you are unless to learn and understand where you come from. It’s true. Often we are taught in this world to be anything or anyone you want to be. The world media and social engineering tactics often projects these bizarre and twisted ideas of being some weird version of something else. Just not you, lord forbid. Lol…

I take the good with the bad. You have to nowadays. The reality is there are only 2 versions of reality going on here. One version is the truth, the other is the lie, the illusion. Choice is a beautiful thing and it can also be a curse. Like I see in many situations throughout the woodland school of art. There are many who live in the lie. Those who live in the false knowledge of life, of a fake reality. A form of mental insanity and denial. A lesser vibration and light. A state of weakness and fear. Because sooner or later the truth comes and hits the world like a freight train. Like it always has and like it always will. It’s the very nature of truth, hard and bitter and sometimes very difficult to digest. 
I have journeyed farther into the depths of the woodland school than any other artist before me. There is literally no one who even comes close. The knowledge level is different with me because I’m not afraid to go all the way right unto the end. To see the whole thing both in its beauty and ugliness. To truly understand the energy of this art movement one has to live it. Practice it. Struggle in it, master it, be a student in it, find new ways of exploration and innovation without being servile or scraping. We’ll get into that now. 

Most definitely one of the greatest upsets and discoveries was learning that Norval Morrisseau was indeed a sexual abuser, a predator. The fact that him and his gay handler in Gabe Vadas insulted me to such a level by trying to sexually touch my ass without my permission and in the wake and fall out of that, completely destroyed my love and appreciation for him, in Norval. For his art, his legacy, all the work I dedicated to that, all done in vein. In my hidden shame and embarrassment that for years, I had done something wrong. That I didn’t cooperate with their sick and twisted sexual agenda. To steal from me, my self worth and confidence, to embarrass my soul in such a way and to offend me in such a fuckin gross manner, it’s despicable. To plant that ugliness on me and to shame my spirit for just being my true and authentic self, a lovin dude that felt so honoured to be hanging out with Norval Morrisseau. The so-called grand shaman of the Anishanabe. Imagine that? In a fuckin wheelchair tooboot. 

Fuckin grossed me out and still to this day affects me. Like a cold and shitty memory of someone I thought was a cultural icon, a hero to my people. A living legend only to turn out like like P Diddy puff Gabe, trying to get a freak off. It’s really that pathetic and gross. That whole thing and experience destroyed any love I had left after the whole art fraud investigation. After exposing Lamont for the total piece of shit he was and will always be, it was and will always be a shattering reality of who Morrisseau was. Not only that, but I have absolutely solid witnesses who can testify to everything I’ve said. Forever going forward I will continue to share and expose these unsettling truths. I 100% believe that it’s absolutely nuts to prop up sexual abusers of children as cultural hero’s or icons. This is a major problem with regard to the cultural fabric of this country and it is with my whole heart and soul that this will change. I believe in real truth and reconciliation but before the reconciliation part happens, we must examine and bring forth the truth. This is how it’s going down. This is the will of our Creator.. Of our ancestors. And so it shall be…

Like I mentioned I’ve seen a lot of the good, the bad and the ugly throughout the woodland school. Let’s open the door on the list of known cultural appropriators and who they are. I don’t give 2 shits what the pedophile shaman told you in Morrisseau. For me, that shit is obsolete. Done. Toast. Bye bye. Night night. What he’s ever said is dead. I don’t trust in any of that no more. As we say “the delusion has been smashed”. 

White cultural appropriators in our woodland school of art:
1: Ritchie Sinclair (non native Morrisseau apprentice) 
2: Vasil woodland (European artist and appropriator)
3: Gabe Vadas (thinks he’s an actual Indian/Morrisseau art apprentice)
4: Daniel Pitchegigwaneh (claimed to be Morrisseau’s long lost son) 
5: Karl Burrows (I even like the guy) still appropriation
6: Mike Ormsby (fake pretendian paints in woodland) 
7: Zhaawano Giizhik (exposed as a fraud by ex girlfriend Simone McLeod)
8: James McCue (former apprentice to Morrisseau) appropriator 
9: Amanda PL (young white female) cultural appropriator

This gives a general overview of what to watch out for out there. None of it is authentic or any of that a true reflection of our culture through art. It’s weird is what it is. It’s cultural appropriation. They should look into their European history and find out what that means through their artistic expression. Focus on that. Find out where you come from and in that, who you are. Make sense? Exactly. 

This list is of what I call: THE WOODLAND WEEN-NUKS

At some point or another, these artists either got super weird with me or turned on me like a rattle snake. These poor chaps have lost their way.  Those who only cared about themselves, their own plans and desires…it’ll be shocking for many of them on what comes next. 

1: Norval Morrisseau (we already know why)
2: Wolf Morrisseau (heavily involved in the fraud)
3: Christian Morrisseau (heavily involved in the fraud)
4: Unfortunately David Morrisseau (majorly involved in the art fraud)
5: Eugene Morrisseau (involved in the fraud)
6: Benjamin Morrisseau (heavily involved in the fraud)
7: Bruce Morrisseau (involved in the fraud he confessed it) 
8: Jason Adair (steals my designs without permission)
9: Flake Angeconob (tried to help him I warned him about the stupidity of woodland pop)
10: Jackie Traverse (tried helping her career ended up getting weird)
11: Tom Tom Sinclair and his ol lady (got right fuckin weird even super ugly….yikes)
12: Patrick Paul (tried to help him, ended up being a weirdo)
13: Kurtis Staven (a pretendian I met in the Kootenay’s a real piece of shit of a human being)


I will also share who broke my heart and I had to choose to distance myself from them because they broke my trust. It’s sad that at the end of all of this it came to this. But this is my experience. This is my truth. This is my story and even though it has come to that, I have to share what’s in my heart. I have to be transparent and honest. I think it will help to finally bring some closure. 

1: John Zemanovich (sorry it didn’t work out, that we couldn’t find a way to heal. I tried…)
2: Kevin Hearn (sorry I had to let you go I hope you can now understand)
3: Jonathan Sommer (sorry it didn’t work out I tried being your friend. It just got fucked up)
4: Cory Dingle (unfortunately? You fucked with the wrong Indian. My hope for you in the future is that you’ll genuinely apologize to me when your heart and soul is ready. You forced my soul to act and stand up. There will be more to come….so stay tuned, guy.) 

On that note this brief synopsis of some of the highs and lows during my career should give you a rough idea as to the type of terrain I’ve had to walk through, navigate and deal with. Unfortunately not everyone you meet works out. Most of the time we are learning difficult lessons which sometimes puts us in the crosshairs of each other. Passion for the truth and a steadfast belief in justice will do that to you. I come to correct the lies and to stand up as a survivor of abuse that should have never ever happened to me. Things are going to change and I’m choosing to stand up for my own sense of justice. For my own story and the truth that lays within it. Indeed there will be much more to come. All my relations.

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.

Life is good...Enjoy this latest release here @ the studio of Jacobson native art 2024

 

Title of original painting: Her spirit guides. Size: 24 x 36 inches. 

Good evening and welcome to a new year with fresh and new exciting energy for 2024. I’ve been very busy this winter season working on several commissions and staying very busy with my own pieces as well. I have about 52 paintings on my waiting list and I haven’t been able to even think about other galleries inquiring about how to get new work. Presently I’m very happy with how the demand has grown for my works. I’m busy. Lots to do. So there really isn’t any room to even get on my waiting list. 

Cadillac problems in the business of dealing art. Everyone’s been super patient and loyal to me. No whiners or complainers. Everyone knows now that when it comes to Jacobson art? Quality takes time. Perfecting the art form is where it’s at for me these days. Getting the balance and composition down perfectly, or as close as I can to it. I simply just draw the image out in one shot with a pen, never a pencil. I have reached another level in mastership of the art. I trust it so much that I get it right, the first time. 

It’s a beautiful thing. The strength and confidence to move way beyond many of the previous masters before me including ol dirty Morrisseau himself....lol. After these last few years of all that it feels absolutely phenomenal to have shone the light on the whole fuckin thing. Much like chopping the head off of that fake myth of all that weird grand shaman bullshit. I mean really, what a joke that whole sick reality will always be. The colonized world of  Pedophile Morrisseau 

I’ve had some emails over the last couple weeks about my new direction and such and a couple people mentioned that I should post a couple permanent links to my articles exposing the truth and the evidence I discovered. I probably will figure something like that out as resources for a truthful and honest perspective for all future woodland school artists and true knowledge keepers of our Anishanabe art. 

Any how we are dealing with lots and lots of snowfall out here in the Kootenay mountains of B.C. I’m very happy out here but there’s no doubt the strength and power of Mother Earth and her seasons will test your resolve. Living in the mountains takes a kind of true and dedicated soul because she’ll put you to work out here and on that note, enjoy this latest design and I look forward to revealing more new originals over the next few months. Miigwetch and all my relations...

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

Finished this last night in the studio, here @ Jacobson native art: The best is yet to come

 

Feeling joyful and excited as life moves forward and I feel absolutely happy about this latest piece for a beautiful soul who is a gem of a human being. The theme of the piece is “She’s beautiful at play in a joyful spirit. The size of this original on stretched canvas is: 36 X 48 inches. 

I’m pleased with the outcome and will sit back and enjoy the rest of the day. Things are rollin at our new gallery collaboration with Kunze  gallery out here in the Kootenay mountains. Loving life and looking forward to the discoveries of meeting all kinds of new souls throughout our second season...

Celebrating our opening night with Kunze gallery and Jacobson native art

 

Good afternoon to each and everyone and what an amazing spiritual experience we all had that attended our opening night festivities. We came together in the real spirit of truth and reconciliation. My second season is officially off to a brilliant start. We shared in prayer and a powerful sacred smudging ceremony where everyone got blessed. I also performed a real and true adoption ceremony bringing the entire Kunze family into my Thunderbird clan. A real privilege for us all. 

Pictured here: A photo of yours truly sharing the sacred power and cleansing of the smudging ceremony 

It is very inspiring for me to see the willingness of my relatives want to share and participate in our good Indian ways. The spiritual energy and powers of our cultural way of life most certainly was inspiring for all who attended. I feel honoured and it is such a beautiful feeling to carry our Anishanabe teachings and practices to a whole new audience out here in the Kootenay mountains, Creston BC. 

Here is a new article written in the local news about our partnership and the festivities that were involved. I wish you all a beautiful afternoon and thank you for all the love and support moving forward. All my relations....MAJ

Our 2nd season is here in partnership with Kunze gallery and Jacobson native art

 


Good evening to each and everyone and just wanted to share this amazing new relationship I’ve been developing for over 2 years now. In the real spirit of truth and reconciliation both Kunze gallery and Jacobson native art are proud to announce this exciting partnership. We are both honoured to be grassroots in our approach in expanding our consciousness and spiritual energy towards widening the circle. 

This is officially my second season and I’m absolutely in joy as we continue to push forward expanding the vision. The Kootenay region is much like a new born child in this regard. We are creating ally’s and alliances that will help with the fundamental changes needed in how we approach the future. The next 7 generations to come. Any how, enjoy the photos and wish me luck...

More to come. 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

As a master artist and spiritual being, I am in a very powerful place with myself these days

 


Public statement here @ Jacobson native art. My spirit is thriving and my life is blessed. I am proud to be a father to my son, Sagein Wisdom who is the light of my world. I’ve been sober for 25 years now. Grateful to have been recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. One day at a time. 

My energy is aligned with the  spiritual wisdom of truth. I am destroying dragons and useless myths built on the corruption and lies of the colonizer. I am truth and reconciliation. I am light. I am power. I am love. 

I am a master. I am sovereign as my birthright of being Anishanabe. I am Rainbow Thunderbird. I am a guardian and protector for my people for future generations to come. I am honoured to be apart of the living legacy of the great Anishanabe. All my relations. πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

P.S: Enjoy this track by Hannes Bieger titled: Poem for the planet. It has encrypted messages from me to you. I am an artist. I use all forms of creativity to get my messages across...

WHAT WE LEAVE HERE MATTERS....



Sunday, January 29, 2023

For the record: Here @ Jacobson native art I stand by every word I’ve ever written...

 

Just a short but sweet and direct message. I fully stand by everything I’ve ever written here on this site. There are no lies and I only speak the truth. No matter how hard, difficult or challenging, you’ll hear it here right from me with no filter or any sugar coating whatsoever. 

I stand in the light of truth. In the direct power of my culture. More to come...All my relations, MAJ

Here @ Jacobson native art we dance, we paint, we create


 Good day to each and everyone. Ive been back in the studio working on my commissions. The energy is moving and I’m feeling good about getting back into the art. I’m a huge music fan as well and enjoy working while listening to 2 to 5 hour DJ sets by some of the worlds best innovators in electronic music. 

Progressive house with thick base lines, snappy tribal beats with epic layers and layers intelligently put together inspire me greatly. My dad was an ol disco boy in the 1970s. For me I grew up dancing and loving music. It’s no wonder this style of music inspires me so greatly. I love dancing as well and like my father, I ruled a few dance floors in my day. 

Any how, enjoy this profound DJ set from Ben Bohmer. As he creates this set flying in a hot air balloon over Turkey...absolutely fuckin stunning. Wishing you all blessings and take care out there...all my relations, MAJ
