A spiritual message from the studio here @ Jacobson native art (Confirmation of my Indian status and 60’s scoop)

 

Artist: Beau Dick. Title of mask: Dzunukwa - four way transformation 

It is true what many have said throughout history that you cannot have one without the other. This is the very nature of spirituality and indeed the experiences of life itself. Both the light and the shadow have their teachings and for many of us these experiences can be both exciting and difficult, even tragic. Self can get in the way as we so often see through a multitude of processes within the mind, body, heart and soul. It isn’t easy going through life without a spiritual connection. My experience has been that the very nature of our Creator can be challenging to navigate. The will wants what it wants and most of the time causes us much pain and suffering. We tend to forget that while going through our difficulties that there is light at the end of the tunnel. 

Change is not always a welcomed process. But it does bring with it a better awareness and understanding of who we are and the world around us. I learned a long time ago that it is wise to get comfortable with pain and suffering. It comes in waves and at other times it vanishes into thin air allowing us to fulfill our greatest wishes, dreams and desires. Life is exactly that and I am grateful that I don’t fear the darkness. I have found much truth and light by walking through these experiences and coming through to the other side. 

For the record here is confirmation of my “Indian status and being a 60’s scoop”

The road of life for me has been a very difficult and challenging one and I’ve had to walk through so much pain and suffering that in the greater reality of things, most don’t ever make it. I’m 51 years old and I’ve been sober from alcohol and hard drug abuse for over 26 years now. I don’t take any prescription medications and have been freed from that for over 31 years. I feel like my life is a true living miracle. I’ve been focused on my healing and recovery for a really long time. I’ve spent thousands of hours being of service to those who suffer. I still to this very day carry my message of experience, strength and hope. I’ve seen many of my friends who struggled with these experiences end up dead. Their families devastated. The disease of addiction and alcoholism is no respecter of persons. It doesn’t care how educated you are, it doesn’t care what you know, what you’ve been through or how intelligent one may be.  I take life one day at a time. That’s all I can give, that’s all I can do and I’m totally ok with that. 

Today life for me is a beautiful blessing. All of it. The light, the dark, the ups and the downs and everything in between.  I don’t always know what the next moves will be and I still make a few mistakes but I always correct them. Sometimes people who come into my life are not the right fit. They get themselves in the way with their own bullshit, usually. I can also be quite ruthless as well and have a bit of an edge that keeps me on guard and ready for whatever comes next. I’ll never take shit from anyone. If you fuck around? You’ll find out. That’s life. It ain’t always fair but I try to do my best each and every day. 

The quality of life is radically different than where I came from. I live an honest life and I apply these principles to all areas of my knowledge and experiences. I don’t lie and I don’t try to manipulate anyone who crosses my path. What you see is what you get and if it works out regarding new friendships and relationships? I’m as loyal as they come. I’m not interested in people pleasing but I’ll walk with just about anyone who needs guidance, direction and support. It’s the way Creator teaches me. To be true to myself and my values. To be authentic and genuine. Regardless of how others may view me I don’t really care much for opinions and falsehoods. If your in my circle and your still here? Then you’ve made it. You too are the genuine article. With that I just wanted to share these thoughts and experiences and to help clarify any doubts about what others may say or not even know about me. I wish many of you all the best as we continue to trudge the road of a happy destiny. All my relations and more to come so stay tuned...

Our new spring Collection for 2024 is here with the official release of “Spirit guides” @ Jacobson native art

 

Good morning to each and everyone and I sure hope many of you are enjoying the new season and this much warmer transition. The season is in full blossom up here in the Kootenay mountains where I live. The power of Mother Earth is in full swing and it’s a beautiful new energy that is manifesting for us all. It’s been so much fun building these new collections with my business partner @ little giant productions here in the Kootenay’s. We are doing exciting things together and our collaboration is truly some of the best in the entire industry. Our quality and uniqueness is the driving force of our creative endeavours here in 2024 and beyond. 

LINK:  https://www.littlegiantproductions.ca/store/c109/Spirit_Guides.html

We have built a life long friendship in the process and are constantly complimenting one another as our collections continue to grow. We have high standards in authentic representation and in how we choose to work together. It’s a phenomenal connection and we both feel truly blessed to be able to deliver the best to each and everyone of you. We recently were approached by a company that desired to put us into 4000 stores but we’ve decided to turn that situation down. It simply isn’t the kind of deal we are looking for because quite frankly the terms were too cheap. For us it’s definitely not about plastering our work everywhere. Not interested in that. The decisions have to match our principles and must be in the nature of equality for all involved. If not? Go away. We are not searching out the colonial blueprint for fame and success. On the contrary we seek exclusive partnership with the right business and fit. 

Here’s a shot of one of the many “sacred spots” I go to out here in the Kootenay mountains to spend quality creative and meditative time to reflect on things in my life and in the social constructs of our reality around the world. It’s usually only me and the animals of Mother Earth out here. I’m probably 50 km deep from where I live so it’s mighty quiet and peaceful. This is cougar and grizzly bear country. It’s phenomenal...but you must pay attention and be on guard. Nature is boss. Always.

Any how on that note I’m looking forward to sharing more releases and Information about what’s coming next here @ Jacobson native art so please stay tuned as there is much more to come.

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

 

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

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

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

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

Title: Series 1 of Chiefs of the future

Title: Series 2 of Chiefs of the future 

Title: Series 3 of Chiefs of the future

Title: Series 4 of Chiefs of the future

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

Title: The Patriarch of woodland A.I.  

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

Title: The Matriarch of woodland A.I.

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

Above photo:  Series 1,2,3,4 Chiefs of the future created deep in the Kootenay mountains BC March 2024 (Woodland art meets A.I.)

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...

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.

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...

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 

Enjoy this track by one of my friends from Montreal, a legend in Misstress Barbara. Track title: Dance me to the end of love. Let’s welcome 2024 with a classic:

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

 

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

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

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

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