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...

Enjoy this classic track by Pan Pot, track title: Captain my Captain

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...

From the masters lens and my response about this Morrisseau sickness being revealed here @ Jacobson native art

 

Good evening to all my friends, collectors and fans here @ Jacobson native art. The last couple weeks I have seen some amazing people writing in and commenting about the last post I shared and your solidarity is simply remarkable. I thank you and I appreciate all of you sharing your thoughts with me. Indeed as a few of you have mentioned, it is usually how the truth gives birth. It’s ugly to look at, feel and process. It’s not a pretty picture and this has been the new revelations concerning Morrisseau and his historic sexual abuse. And many agree that this country needs to deal with their denial and start dealing with this reality. That it is wrong to prop up sexual abusers of children as cultural icons. We need to set this record straight so that another generation of children and main stream society get educated about this reality. 

I can honestly say that after all the broken relationships I’ve experienced over the last 20 years around this whole Morrisseau fiasco, I completely see why many of these people were afraid of me. They broke themselves against me. Because my spirit was willing to go all the way. To see this right through to this end. That Morrisseau was nothing but a child abusing pedophile. That his fame and fortune was highly guided by his oppressor in the Canadian colonizer. Money was and still is the primary interest in protecting the lie. It’s some of the weakest and most pathetic shit I’ve ever had to see and witness. Gallery owners, institutions, collectors, educators, academics, political and legal organizations along with a handful of pathetic lawyers and a dash of broken famous people still hanging on to the lie. Unwilling to let go of the delusion. Because of the money. Fuckin weak...

I would also like to mention that after reflecting about the absolute garbage that Tom Tom ‘tampon’ Sinclair spewed about me and wanting me to kill myself and that I should kill myself for my 6 year old son? Fuckin weak little bitch monkey in my books. No real courage to be a man. You’ll always be a little junior artist to me. Ignorant and wounded soul who needs a profound spiritual experience. This boy knows nothing of the power of the Creator. To address someone with my credentials in that fashion is beyond pathetic. He’s an ugly person and someone I never want to know ever again. Good bye you “broken arrow shooting mother fucker”. That’s your new spirit name, goof. To see me in such a weak and darkened light says everything I need to know about you. My medicine showed me who you are. You should learn how to clean up your mess and change those dirty tampons you wear. Goof. People like you need a new pair of glasses and to see me in my rightful light like this example pictured below. This is how my inner circle of true friends see one another: 

Get the picture?......Exactly. 😎

That’s been one of the defining characteristics of dealing with people around the art fraud and legacy of shitbag Morrisseau for all these years. The depth of filth and sick behaviour is no doubt the darkest chapter of my entire life. I regret it and I regret ever meeting many of these sleaze balls. Many of them dressed up in suits and ties. Never mind the filth in the likes of serial rapists like Lamont and his circles in Thunder Bay. Many of them I opened up my life to who I thought were on the good side. Not. In the end the only one who remained true all the way through is none other then Dallas Thompson. Someone I have the privilege to be a part of his healing journey and life experience. A treasure of a soul in whom I’ll always have love and respect for. A true warrior, a true brother and a true friend. A real Indian! 

Pictured here: my son and I building castles in our art studio last week. ❤️

I’ll continue sharing my life and the truth of my experiences. I am honoured to be a truth teller and to be a source of inspiration for generations to come. There is no doubt that my legacy is a righteous and beautiful energy. I carry myself with strength and integrity. I am the only one to go all the way to see this thing right until the end. More souls will wake up over time and begin to digest this truth. For me, Morrisseau’s legacy will forever be permanently fucked. I don’t stand with sexual predators and I’ll never again prop them up as cultural icons. For they are not. With respect for the truth and moving forward I wish many of you a beautiful new 2024. All my relations, MAJ

This is what being sexually abused by Norval Morrisseau looks like: Meet Tom Tom Sinclair (a real fuckin goof of a human being)

 

In the spirit of truth and reconciliation pay attention to this story. Be warned this event is very triggering and traumatizing. What a wicked and dark spirit this piece of shit has in Tom Tom Sinclair. Somebody I tried to help and bring him into the truth. I spent several hours over months and months trying to support him and help him come to terms regarding his sexual abuse by Norval Morrisseau when he was a boy. An 8 year old boy. And because of that unhealed experience and trauma he is literally one of the biggest disappointments in human interaction that I’ve ever had. You’ll come to understand why. 

The spewing of filth and sickness and deep resentment towards me that he has is some really ugly shit. What a fuckin gross experience. You should be ashamed of yourself. So weak and spiteful it’s truly sad that I have to even share this. But I must. To set the record straight with my interactions around this whole entire sickness regarding Morrisseaus pathetic and twisted legacy. 

From this point forward this guy can literally go fuck himself. You are a pathetic excuse of a human being and a woodland artist. You are a sick and demented individual. I will not show you any pity or mercy. You are literally a broken indian. And it’s an honour for me to expose this. To expose you. Goof. I’m happy to know that you put those gifts I sent you back to the earth. You didn’t earn them and you certainly don’t deserve them. You simply couldn’t stand up like a real man. Like Dallas Thompson did, like I have. I called you a fuckin coward and a wimp because the way you acted? That’s exactly who you are. 

We were going to do an interview with APTN Investigates last year with a reporter named Kenneth Jackman. To cover this story. They were all in. I didnt feel comfortable with Kennth because quite frankly he admitted to being a Christian who is a white guy and I simply felt with all the residential school trauma and abuse coming forward it simply wasn’t the right fit for him to be telling this story. Our story. So all of us who were involved decided to go with a feature documentary. That was dead in the water as well. I killed it because of this sick fuck in Tom Tom. After going through all of that and coming to terms with my own experience of trying to be sexually abused by Norval and his fuckin clown goof handler in Gabe Vadas, I felt it was time now to try and move on. 

The residual effects of this dark and twisted energy around Morrisseau and his corrupt legacy still finds a way to interrupt my moving forward. This recent event will no doubt help with me closing the doors on this permanently. What a gross and disgusting experience. This last part of the article here is about Tom Tom and I having our final conversation yesterday. I’m exposing it to share the truth of what the effects of sexual abuse does to a persons character. The depth of being so deep in the abyss of his own “Morrisseau Stockholm syndrome”. It’s literally the weirdest shit I’ve ever experienced with another so-called Indian artist. 

The screenshots are of our conversation and there was a bit more that was said but he completely flew off the handle with this tirade. Saying that I should go kill myself and end my life for my son, so that his daddy is dead. Think about that? It’s fucked up. He also goes on to say that I’ll go jerk off to his sexual abuse story about Norval Morrisseau abusing him and other children, calling me a pervert, a sick pig, etc. That there was really crossing the line. Back in the old days I would literally beat the living shit out of somebody for talking to me like that. But today is different. I’ll give him the grace he needs to find his way through how truly sick and twisted this wounded soul really is. May this story help you to grow up and be a man someday. 

The screenshots of the blue writing is me, the screenshots of the black and white writing is Tom Tom Sinclair:

At this point all one can truly say is....ENOUGH SAID. Fuck you Tom Tom Sinclair.

P.S: In colonial Canada telling someone to go kill themselves is a Federal crime which can get you up to 14 years in a federal institution. A friend of this site wrote in to make a note of that. Miigwetch 😎

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.

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.

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...

For those who may not know, I’ll leave you with my favourite song of all time and really is for me, my life anthem by New Order. Track is called: Everything’s gone green. 

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...

Enjoy this deadly new track I just discovered called: Legacy by Oveous 

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.

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
