Sharing the amazing success of my second fabric line called: Sacred earth with Northcott fabrics and Jacobson native art

 Northcott designer profilehttps://northcott.com/designers-detail.aspx?di=538

Good evening to each and everyone and once again it’s super cool to share the beautiful medicine and creativity being manifested throughout North America with this unique collaboration with Northcott fabrics and yours truly here @ Jacobson native art. 

We’ve been so inspired by the various movements taking shape through this collection and this partnership throughout the world of quilting and fabric design. I’ve been absolutely blown away with the various creations coming from thousands of souls nationwide. It’s an exciting experience for me and for the countless others in whom are working with these fabrics. Sacred earth continues to impress and it’s a beautiful second edition to my first line in Healing waters. 

Our family has received some amazing quilts and other work that was shipped to us here in the Kootenay mountains from all over Turtle Island and it’s such a cool feeling to be apart of. Lots of people are thankful and express their appreciation and contact me through email and Facebook to connect. The above quilt was made for me and it’s just a deadly piece As blankets are highly regarded amongst us First Nations and continue to represent that sacredness of warmth and comfort, it’s such an honour. I sleep with that as it fits my king size perfectly. Keeps me nice and warm and it feels awesome to be wrapped up in something made with such love and care. 
Just feeling very happy with everything these days and the warmth and love being shared is simply profound. Who would’ve thought eh? The world of quilters is such an amazing and newly tapped source of incredible creativity and energy. I love them and appreciate them so much so, Miigwetch to each of them. With that I am honoured to continue bringing you all new experiences in the realms of indigenous art and culture. Stay tuned as we have some super great news to release and share with all of you here. All my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈

On this day of National truth and reconciliation, our family rests gently with kindness and love @ Jacobson native art

 

Good evening to each and everyone. We just had a simple and gentle day at home during this national day of reflection. Sagein our boy did some playing and creating and then went for an afternoon nap. Momma was chilling in the yard with me while I was hand feeding the deer. I was slicing up pears and apples from our trees in the yard making beautiful connections with the animal clans of Mother Earth. This is how we reflected during this day of honouring “Every child matters” and this national day of truth and reconciliation. 

Pictured here: Our son Sagein enjoying an afternoon nap. 😎

Miigwetch for all the love and support and enjoy this lullaby peyote song for the children by Delbert Blackhorse. This one is for our boy as he rests in love...

Mapping out decolonization of the future with Woodland A.I. @ Jacobson native art

 

Title of painting: Honouring our warriors of the future. (Self portrait - 2024)

Good evening to each and everyone and welcome to another session here @ Jacobson native art. I’m feeling super excited about my future collaborations with A.I. After working through many new concepts and ideas that I’ve been discovering using this technology, I will be exploring these image prompts and finding a way to use them. My wish will be to incorporate the themes of decolonization into the vastness of the future. Exploring new experiences and new visions and even travelling to new worlds. It’s absolutely incredible what I can dream up and execute regarding my new indigenous art genre in woodland A.I. There’s no doubt I’ve entered into a new realm and have created a separate reality from anyone or anything in the entire school of woodland art. This is 8th 🔥 and beyond...

Prompt: Through decolonization I dream of a whole new world

Prompt: In the Creators light - we are all inter-connected

Prompt: Where ever I go they honour my sovereignty 

Prompt: Medicine man mastering multi-dimensional travel with anti-gravity technology 

I’m so happy to give the artist child within me full permission to create. I’m excited to see how I’ll map out these image prompts and create paintings infusing these concepts. My soul is all lit up. I’m creating art never before seen and to indigenize artificial intelligence through my creativity and mindset feels absolutely transformational. The realms of imagination and curiosity are in full effect. These are some of the most brilliant and exciting times I’ve ever felt as an artist. My time is now. I am in creative bliss. To play in the realms of the future and to explore my imagination in such spectacular fashion is like I mentioned, one of the greatest artistic discoveries of all time for me. Welcome to Woodland A.I. 

Miigwetch and all my relations with more to come....

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....🌈🔥👽🔥🌈

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 🌈🦅🌈

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 🌈🦅🌈

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 🌈🦅🌈

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 🌈🦅🌈

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. All my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ 🌈🦅🌈
