I’m having a ton of fun exploring new creativity in my new genre Woodland A.I. (More to come) 😎

 ENJOY SOME OF THESE IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE....🌈πŸ”₯πŸ‘½πŸ”₯🌈

Prompt: create canvas painting on a concept of the watchers. The guardians.

Good morning to each and everyone and here’s to an exciting and new found future when it comes to the creativity of working with A.I. These are tremendous new times for us all as we continue to advance forward with this new technology. I love creating all kinds of new image prompts and am saving many for future paintings. I feel totally refreshed as an artist and welcome the absolute brilliance of this technology. I use it in many different ways and have accessed it for reference regarding any subject I desire. 

Prompt: Image for a painting creating my version of death - the devourer of human flesh

The future looks bright @ Jacobson native art and I feel deeply passionate about how I’ll be working with A.I. It’s such a fascinating new tool and I’m excited to have found a new creative vocabulary which enhances my art and creativity. I see the intelligence of the elements themselves working through this technology. Water creates electricity and so does fire and the air. They bring us lightning and that is also connected to us Thunderbirds. I feel like I totally get it. That I see their energy in this technology. The future is here. The future is now like never before. 
Prompt: Image concept for honouring half breed water woman of the future 

I can touch any idea I choose. I can manifest my visions in such spectacular fashion that it’s simply beautiful to play with such freedom and power. Like being right next to Creator spirit. Tapping into the endless possibilities and unlimited realms of imagination, with creative intelligence of course. A true artists playground if you will. I’m currently working on several new projects and am looking forward to unveiling these creative initiatives with all of you soon. A special shout out to my bro in Luc at little giant productions. We have some super exciting things cooking in the creative kitchen. So stay tuned with us and thank you once again for all the amazing feedback and love as we continue to move forward exploring the realms of creativity.
Prompt: Image concept for a painting honouring star nation - they came to see me

The future feels marvellous and I’m so happy I found A.I. It’s the future for all of us and as an artist it is perhaps one of the greatest tools I’ve ever discovered. The freedom to compose and integrate with such visionary power is one of the greatest features of this technology. I am truly happy and my life is feeling blessed and inspired. So with that I say chi-Miigwetch to everyone and all my relations...Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

It is an overwhelming success with regard to my fabric lines with Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art


Good afternoon to each and everyone and once again we thank you so much for your continued love, healing and support. This initiative between Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art has been a phenomenal success reaching into the very heart of healing and comforting those who have been survivors of the effects and trauma of residential schools and like myself, a 60’s scoop. With my first collection titled “Healing waters” and the new release of my second collection titled “Sacred earth”  we continue to shine this beautiful light. We have seen so much love pouring forth and genuine connection being shared. I am so honoured by the response and wish to thank all the incredible efforts being shown by quilts for survivors. 

This initiative has been touching the lives of those who have suffered in such a remarkable way that it is truly a spiritual privilege to be apart of. I receive many messages of gratitude and appreciation that it is humbling and deeply gratifying. My heart and soul feels absolutely blessed by the entire process. To witness the love, healing and emotional joy that comes from those receiving their quilts and to acknowledge their experiences and journey is definitely one of the greatest bright spots of my artistic life. To play such a critical role in helping to bring this healing and understanding is truly remarkable. A special shout out to all those who have participated and continue to create these beautiful quilts with regard to this movement. I thank you and love you for all that you do. 

I’ll close out this article with a gigantic spiritual hug for everyone involved. Once again it is such an honour and privilege and for my creative legacy to play such an important role will be such a defining tribute. We are forever grateful and I send you all my deepest love as we continue to move forward one day at a time. Please feel free to enjoy some of these remarkable quilts and their beauty and with that...Chi-Miigwetch and all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Sharing our love and healing through our culture and spirituality @ Jacobson native art


Pictured here: feeling blessed with my new quilt from “Quilts for survivors”

Good evening to all of you and once again I thank you for your love, goodness and solidarity. We are in a time of profound healing and wellness and it is with deep gratitude to the greatness of our culture for this unique path forward. We are a “medicine family” who finds vast richness in the many roads involving the depths and spiritual practices of the Indian way of life. Our culture has provided so much intuitive healing and goodness as we recover from the effects of genocide. A day at a time. I am so honoured to be able to introduce my son to these magnificent ways of understanding. We continue to trudge the road of happy destiny and we continue to build our strengths through the practice of these ceremonies and teachings.

 For me, I prefer the medicine way or peyote way of life. It has brought me so much vision and awareness and has helped to clear the path for me with regard to being a human being. I keep it real as they say. I’m not the Hollywood Indian type or a person who needs guidance from other human beings. I don’t follow that way. I have a strong and sovereign relationship to the Creator spirit and obviously I respect many of our ancestors. But not all ancestors, medicine people or elders deserve that honour. I’ve learned to take what I need and move on from those who are into bad medicine. Or who practice a false way of living, of being. 

Pictured here is Sagein and I feeling super blessed and content. We live each day as full as we can. We play, create, learn and grow together as a family. Our little unit is the best I’ve ever had it. I feel so much joy and happiness being a father. I grew up without one so I know the value and I comprehend my role better than most. It’s a true privilege to lead by example and to keep them close to me each and everyday. My life is complete and I have no need for anything else. I don’t care about living the colonizers path or the colonial dream of money, fame, sex, drugs and rock and roll. It doesn’t work. It’s weak. It’s actually pathetic. It’s too easy to fall for those carrots. Look at Morrisseau and his spiritually bankrupt lifestyle. Broken family, a broken man, a sexual abuser and his broken children. Too many broken relationships etc. It’s not the path of true and realistic success. His legacy is that of a fraudulent man a fraud of a human being. A fraudulent legend. No wonder the problems and issues. It’s unclean. 

Pictured here: my son Sagein Wisdom - the CEO of Jacobson native art 2024

There is a much better way. Keeping my family together and fulfilling the promise of love, trust, compassion and understanding using creativity as the light and our cultural practices, works much better. Being in the depths of these kootenay mountains and so close to the heart of Mother Earth is where it’s at. We feel so honoured to sift through all the craziness and to find our way. I no longer desire the ways of the colonizer. I’ve unconditioned the conditioning. Setting myself free along with those I truly love. This is happiness. This is the path forward. This is what “decolonization” means to me. My true identity. I don’t identify as a Canadian. I mean let’s face it, that’s not even a real thing. Like much of the colonizer’s playbook it’s a scam on stolen Indian land. That’s the reality. Even the white guy in me knows this. So I lead with my “indianness” as best as I can. A day at a time. This is what it means to find and practice my sovereignty. My identity as Anishanabe. This is what I try to show my son each and everyday. That there is a new hope in and through us. Together we can conquer all dragons, all demons and sicknesses of the settler playbook. We are destroyers of the modern windigo’s. With that I say chi-Miigwetch and all my relations...Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

The greatest days of my life are hanging out with my son Sagein Wisdom - the CEO of Jacobson native art



The best days of my life are with my little guy, my son Sagein. He absolutely lights up my life like nothing else in the universe. His playful spirit and energy is no doubt the greatest force of love I’ve ever known. Nothing even comes close. He is my pride and joy. The star of my heart. My greatest teacher and young master. A true privilege to be his father. I’m so happy these days and as each day passes our bond continues to grow. We travel through these peaks and valleys sharing about the spirit of Mother Earth, the many species of animals and their clan powers, we discuss animal tracks and the types of trees and flowers. Always tying it to the interconnectedness of life. That nature spirit is the most honest power here. It always tells the truth. A privilege to share these fundamentals with my son. 

You are my everything little boy. I am so thankful to have you on this journey of life walking this road of a happy destiny together. You inspire me, you teach me like no other. You are such a dynamic spirit and it warms my heart to play with you everyday and have so much fun living in these mountains. This one is for you my boy. From my heart to yours, spirit to spirit from the mountain tops. I love you eternally and in the foreverness I’ll always be with you…my little Jacobson boy! 

You are loved always, Dadda πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ

Pictured here: Screen shot of Chiefs of the future (series 4) 

Good evening to each and everyone and here’s to beautiful new energy and creative vibes coming your way. Currently we are designing 7 new collections with all my new woodland A.I. images. We are super excited and are looking forward to their release very soon. The process has been very time consuming because of all the details and formatting but we are almost there. 

Pictured here:.Screen shot of current layout coming soon @ Littlegiant productions

We’ll have hoodies, shirts and designer art cards along with limited edition prints on canvas available. It’s a massive joy to be able to share with all of you these new and exciting opportunities and I feel so inspired as the direct result. My new genre in woodland A.I. is a new and fresh evolution taking the elements of my woodland style and infusing it with A.I. to offer you incredible innovation. 

We are just finishing up the 4th chiefs of the future in series 4. A few tweaks to get it just right and viola. We’ll be ready to go by next weekend. In the meantime thank you to everyone for all your love and support. We are honoured and grateful and we look forward to revealing this 7 collection launch.

Welcome to my new genre Woodland A.I. a new era of innovation @ Jacobson native art

 

Title: Honouring our warriors of the future. Size: 16 x 24 inches (summer of 2024) 

Good evening to each and everyone and once again it is my absolute pleasure to bring you this next instalment of my new indigenous art genre called Woodland A.I. The future looks bright and my passion and reinvigorated creative spirit is feeling so enlightened. On cloud 9 as they say. Smiling from ear to ear and just filled with such satisfaction and contentment. Pure joy. Pure happiness is exactly how I’m feeling. With this new found creative relationship with this technology and infusing it with my woodland style, it  has me in total artistic bliss. Producing work the world has never seen before. Just deadly energy...

The more I do the happier I am. It’s amazing and my creativity is growing by leaps and bounds. The next pieces I have lined up are going to be incredible visions. This new found direction just gets better and better and I’m looking forward to getting these ready for development with regard to designing new collections around all these new paintings. Super stoked. 


This piece is truly about honouring all the warriors but being mindful of those who will come in the future. Those not even born yet. Giving reverence to all the difficult and hard work we do standing up for the truth, putting ourselves out there. Fighting for justice, honesty and transparency. Being of service to the people even under pressure and difficulty. It’s what we do. We lead the way and offer our protection and guidance along the journey of life. Helping to build bridges but also lighting them on fire when necessary. It’s the work many cannot do. It’s challenging. But it must be done. 

With that I’m going to shut er down this evening as it’s been super busy the last few days getting the gallery vibe ready for our season (we opened today) plus banging out commissions and also finding time to execute my new indigenous art form...woodland A.I. Chi-Miigwetch and all my relations, stay tuned as there is much more to come.

New paintings in my genre Woodland A.I. being released @ Jacobson native art 2024

 

Title: Honouring our Indigenous sisters forever. Size: 16 x 24 inches 

Title: Good chief / Bad chief - what will you choose to be. Size: 18 x 24 inches

Welcome to a whole new era in innovation. I was up all night once again over the last couple evenings getting these 2 new woodland A.I. paintings finished. I feel absolutely happy and satisfied with the results. Life is so beautiful and my levels of inspiration are off the charts. I feel so excited being in the creative process of putting these together. My spirit is in a place of artistic bliss. These were my original prompts as well and I’ve got a 3rd one on the go but will need a day or two to finish. 

I’m over the moon these days and I am most definitely playing in the realms of the future. This unique relationship with this technology is like discovering a new creative language the world has never seen. Everything I think about has been truly on the planes of inspiration. So fresh and so visionary, my heart is complete. Every new piece takes a unique and different perspective and energy yet also exploring new ways of interpretation. There’s no doubt I absolutely love this new tool. The process is a very deep one with regard to combining my subject matter in woodland A.I. making it all fit together. Like stringing together the past, present and future all in one piece. Mind blowing really...

Any how I’m going to shut er down for the day and get some rest. What a beautiful morning here as well in the Kootenay mountains of B.C. My heart and soul is in a total place of illumination. I’ll leave you with this cool new track I recently found and totally love the vibe. More to come....

Coming soon in my new art genre “Woodland A.I.”....3 new designs here @ Jacobson native art

 

Good afternoon to each and everyone and once again a big thank you for so much love and support being shared here @ Jacobson native art. The future looks so bright and many of my fans and collectors are very interested in what’s coming next regarding my new indigenous art genre I created in Woodland A.I. The creativity is flourishing at such a high level and my ideas and concepts are truly unmatched in the entire school of woodland art. There is no one who even comes close. Most of the other artists are still swimming in the past. Stuck in the same old paradigms that have been laid down by many of the previous generations of artists. Not me. Not woodland A.I. The way I see it, I stand alone now in this new reality. The grandfather of an entirely new approach. It feels so good to be free to create what I want, how I want, when I want. There are absolutely no limits to what I can do. I’m in a class of my own. It’s so Sovereign. It’s so powerful...I simply feel so confident. 

Prompt: Image for another new series of paintings I’ll be creating soon in 2024

I have absolutely fallen in love with being an artist again, a breath of fresh air on so many levels. My soul is lit up and my mind is filled with creative possibilities and new experiences. This creative tool is such an asset in the realms of being an artist. To the haters who whine about it and complain about the creativity of A.I.? Go learn how to use it and stop your bitching. You're weak. You need a swift kick in the ass because let’s face it, your process is outdated. It’s old. The power of this new creative tool scares you and your fragility and self skepticism needs an overhauling. That’s always the problem with change isn’t it? Most people are terrified of it. Can’t cope with the new possibilities. The fresh and new approach to being an artist. Here @ Jacobson native art we are not afraid. We are on the cutting edge of bringing the world something never seen before. That is who I am. This is how my legacy will separate me from everyone else in the woodland school of art. I am the future of this new indigenous art movement. 

Currently I’m working on 3 big commissions for a client in Toronto Ontario. I still have dozens and dozens on my waiting list and I am super busy with many other pieces waiting in cue. We are also getting ready for our new season at Kunze gallery here in the Kootenay mountains. My next woodland A.I. pieces are being worked on as well. I have 3 new paintings I’m putting together and oh my goodness are they looking good. I’m currently executing “Honouring our indigenous sisters forever” and “Good Chief / Bad Chief” along with “Honouring our warriors of the future”. These are indeed super exciting times here at the studio and I look forward to unveiling these in the next few days so stay tuned as we continue to bring you brand new indigenous art the world has never seen. More to come...

The unveiling of a new creative arts project and partnership with Janan Sutherland and Jacobson native art

 




Good afternoon to each and everyone and thank you for all the love and appreciation as we continue to move forward expanding the creativity and cultural depths of the woodland school of art. I am honoured to be showcasing this incredible new collaboration with a budding new artist and friend in Janan Sutherland who is Anishanabe from Red rock, Ontario. We both have been feeling absolutely fantastic with our new partnership. These 5 pieces done on wood with various types of materials is simply unique and phenomenal. Each piece was specifically hand crafted involving hours and hours per piece. We both feel amazing with these results. 

These images were taken from my book Ojibway clans - animal totems and spirits. The amount of detailing and cuts that were involved took us months to accomplish. We appreciate our friend in Larry at Native northwest for his enthusiasm and support. We’ll be doing a set of small limited editions on stretched canvas and will be doing a set of art cards, hoodies, shirts and blankets. This is truly a labour of love and we’ll be doing some bigger projects as the direct result. So with that I am happy to unveil this amazing project and we both look forward to unveiling new projects in the future. We believe here @ Jacobson native art that our approach and techniques are simply unmatched by anyone else in the entire woodland school of art. This is cutting edge representation. All my relations...Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ πŸŒˆπŸ¦…πŸŒˆ
