Good morning to each and everyone and once again we wish you only the best here @ Jacobson native art and a warm welcome into 2025. Like I’ve shared it’s been an incredible year of creative innovation and collaboration. Giving birth to Woodland A.I. this year and transforming the future of indigenous art with this new visionary and cutting edge technology has been such a breath of new fresh air. It’s exhilarating in every sense of the word. My own discovery and invention. A new path forward for me as an artist. I look forward to seeing what happens next for sure.
Took my boy up the mountain tonight and we did a night time drive on the ATV and had an absolute blast together. We hung out and played “swords of destiny” and “warriors of eternal power”. His current favourite game we made up together and he absolutely loves it. Brings him the best smiles and laughter. I’m so happy being his father. Our bond is the greatest gift I’ve ever known. I see Creator in him all the time. I call him my greatest teacher because that’s exactly what he is. He is so confident and playful. His mind is so fascinating and curious. He just turned 7 years old this month. The CEO of Jacobson native art. My pride and joy. A true privilege walking together side by side on this journey of life. Growing up deep in the Kootenay mountains of BC.(Sagein was born in Nelson so he’s a true Kootenay boy) We live in Mother Nature’s paradise. In the real perfection of it all. Where man is small and nature is grand. Where nature spirit is Alpha.
I’m in a really good place these days. I feel strong, healthy and deeply empowered. My creativity is growing by leaps and bounds and my potential in working with expanding woodland A.I. is simply off the charts. I get to bring into reality visions never before seen where the future becomes my playground. A place where unlimited possibilities can become manifest. It’s exciting energy. When it comes to being here in the Kootenay’s it has become one of my all time favourite places on earth. I absolutely love it here. Bigtime freedom. Big time wingspan. Lots of space to play.
Here’s to incredible new changes coming forward in 2025. I’m truly blessed to be living the life I live each and everyday. The power of truth has changed me in ways that I feel I am prepared to handle just about anything moving forward. No fear. No hesitation. Being in full control of my self, my thoughts, feelings and actions. I’m ready to go. I’m ready for the future of 2025. Happy new year to you all and thank you for your trust and loyalty in always knowing that I come from the highest good…in love and light, all my relations.

This one’s for my son. Happy birthday my boy. Dadda loves you eternally. Artist: Wilkinson and Becky Hill: Here for you
Good evening to all of you who continue to stay in the loop with us here @ Jacobson native art. It’s been an exciting year and we look forward to an incredibly empowering 2025. It’s excellent news that Canada post is back in full swing. We have been moving our indigenous art box collection of winter solstice internationally and things are once again picking up now that we can all ship worldwide and not have any major restraints except for lengths of time. Better than the recent alternative. So I welcome you to this truly official launch now that it is December 21st, 2024. The time of Wiingyuu Zigwan - winter solstice the time of the winter sun.
Here’s a snapshot of signing 250 editions of my book Ojibway clans - animal totems and spirits
Feel free to enjoy this 10 minute video of a complete walk through and signing of this beautiful 5 piece indigenous art box collection. We are super proud and our collaboration with little giant productions continues to grow offering some of the finest native art collections ever produced. We are that appreciative of this creative endeavour and we look forward to sharing more in the near future. With great love and passion we welcome new creative frontiers being explored and executed as we bring in a completely new season here in 2025.
Miigwetch and all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ ππ¦ π
Good morning to each and everyone. Here’s to keeping our spirits up and our continued faith in a brighter future. There’s no doubt that many businesses and individuals are starting to feel the pinch of this national Canada postal strike. I live deep in the Kootenay mountains here in BC. A big part of our business here is relying on shipping across North America and the world. It’s been a challenge as of late navigating this scenario. We designed this incredible art box and the strike is holding us back. People are struggling nationally at the moment now so it’s difficult to move things around. Even purolator and ups has put a hold on moving things. In the meantime we are making sales nationally and internationally. Albeit a much slower grind as I’m sure millions of others are getting restless about it as well.
So on a positive note it’s been a highly successful year and the amount of creative energy that we’ve been producing here @ Jacobson native art has been absolutely phenomenal. I’m super happy with all the structures that are being built during this phase of my career. I’ve been doing this for 40 years now. I know the woodland school inside and out. There is no one who can rival my expertise and knowledge of all 5 current generations in that genre. Now with woodland A.I. it’s just a whole new level of innovation and creative vision. I have so many new projects manifesting and also maintaining my commissions list which is 24 months to 36 months long. And that continues to build as well. Things are exciting and I’m feeling truly inspired as never before. This cutting edge technology is brilliant. I love playing with it. Here’s these 3 I’ll be doing on celebrating indigenous beauty of the future. I’ll woodland A.I. these and they’ll be a 3 piece series honouring my love and appreciation for feminine power and beauty.
Prompt: Deliciously Indigenous - eternal beauty eternal power
Prompt: She is the life giver - forever our mother forever our Matriarch
Prompt: Indigenous she is - forever she shall be (we are all one)
My next project after getting these 3 image prompts laid out and executed will be 4 new images I’ll dedicate to dreamscapes of the future. The creative power in this relationship with A.I. is like I mentioned, absolutely transformational. My vision with it affords me a whole new approach to creating art. It’s such an experience. I love it and I’m totally down with it. My new apprentice. Here are the image prompts for dreamscapes of the future…
Prompt: Come with me - let’s travel to another star system (part 1)
Prompt: Come again - let’s travel to this new star system (part 2)
Prompt: Water worlds and spheres - where there is water, there is life (series one)
Prompt: Dreamscapes of their reality - with spheres of supreme intelligence (series 2)
So on that note I look forward to sharing more creative innovations and visions that are transforming the future of indigenous art both here in colonial Canada but truly, worldwide. Our partnership with little giant productions is everything a true artist desires. Luc and I continue to build. This is next level. The next frontier is Woodland A.I. Lets welcome 2025 with even greater vision and creative power. Miigwetch and with love and genuine sincerity I say to both my fans and enemies, all my relations.

Good morning to each and everyone and welcome to another midnight art session coming to a complete cycle. I’m feeling quite pleased with these next paintings on canvas. These landscapes of the future are absolutely fascinating and once again I think I pulled it off. They were super fun to do and I had to work with series 1 and 2 brushes which does get a little tricky. A bit like performing surgery. I’m truly thrilled with this new door I’ve opened with woodland A.I. It is next level visionary medicine and the innovation is simply off the charts. Im creating visions I’ve always dreamed of. Feeling a rebirth and rekindled creative spirit. I feel that as my new apprentice, A.I. affords me a whole new approach. It’s beautiful…

Title: Future landscapes (series 4) - Medicine man mastering multi dimensional travel through anti-gravity technology. Size: 14 x 22 inches
Such a wonderful night spending it jamming to tunes and painting up a new creative storm. The energy is bliss. I’m super stoked and feeling truly inspired as an artist again. This collaboration with this cutting edge technology has absolutely transformed me. Has transformed the future of my art and my creative destiny. Miigwetch and stay tuned as there will be more to come….

Enjoy this track by Egotape. Track title: Not alone (berbetta remix)
Good morning to each and everyone and welcome to another creative session with my new indigenous art genre in Woodland A.I. I was up all night working on the next commissions and spent most of my time trying to figure out the creative landscape of these image prompts. I had shared these a couple months back and I’m finding some time in my process to work on expanding my artistic creations with A.I. as well. Busy busy. These were a ton of fun though and they were quite challenging because I haven’t worked with small brushes in such a long time. I’m usually working on significantly bigger paintings so my brush sizes are usually size 4, 6 and 8 for the majority of the line work I do.
Title of painting: Future landscapes (series 1) - through decolonization I dream of a whole new world. Size: 14 x 22 inches
Title of painting: Future landscapes (series 2) - In the Creator’s light - we are all interconnected. Size: 14 x 22 inches
Here’s a shot of these size 1 and size 2 brushes. They were like working with a needle tonight and like I mentioned it was a bit of a challenge but I think I pulled it off. Again these are very experimental in their concepts and designs and while I’m finding it absolutely fascinating to be playing with such imagination and innovation, Im also being challenged like never before as an artist. Good for the soul. It’s incredible to be figuring out these new possibilities in indigenous art and no doubt trailblazing a whole new creative path forward. Like I mentioned before I have taken on A.I. as my new apprentice. It sometimes takes 5 to 10 different image prompts in order for me to finally find the best one to work with. But I’m getting better every single time. I’ve got hundreds and hundreds of new Image prompts to work with. My creative reservoir is deep with plenty of ideas for future paintings. I’m absolutely super stoked with this new direction in my art. I am no doubt the grandfather of Woodland A.I. The future of not only the woodland school, but indeed the future of indigenous art. It’s a global energy. A universal force of incredible creativity. I hope you enjoy these latest original paintings on canvas. I have 3 more waiting in cue so feel free to stay tuned to the future here @ Jacobson native art. With more to come....

Good morning to each and everyone. It’s a beautiful day here in the studio tucked away deep in the solitude of the Kootenay mountains of B.C. I’ve been just high flying these days in the creative spirit of my art and recent projects. Getting so much accomplished and it feels absolutely deadly. My creativity is moving in leaps and bounds and I am honoured to feel such liberation and inner freedom in who I am. Life is super beautiful and I’m truly a happy Spirit.
Jacobson native art on Facebook has all kinds of exciting action going on there as well so if your looking to connect? You can reach me there as well. This is a very exciting period for me as an artist and I’m working on 5 new woodland A.I. Paintings as well so please do stay tuned to our vibe as we continue to trudge the road of happy destiny. More to come....all my relations, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ ππ¦ π

Hello to each and everyone and thank you for making your way here @ Jacobson native art. It has been a very productive year for me and the creative energy is absolutely off the charts. There is no one in the entire school of woodland art producing what we are doing here. Most artists are lucky to produce a collection or 2 a year with whoever they choose to work with. Our capacity to co-create at little giant and Jacobson native art is running circles around the entire industry. It’s a creative powerhouse and there’s no doubt about the size and span of our creativity and collaboration. It’s super exciting energy and our bond as brothers on this journey continues to grow and manifest.
I feel so proud to be able to deliver incredible products and merchandise. My business partner in Luc @ little giant productions is perhaps one of the most loyal forces of human soul energy I’ve ever met in my life. The honesty and transparency is like having a golden key in our partnership. He truly “gets it”. I’ve waited a long time to find a creative dance partner like him. Our combined strength and power is truly a gift from our Creator. Like me, he prays every day, he makes himself open to being of service to the Creators children as do I. He is a family man like me. We stand on solid ground and our solidarity towards one another is unshakable. We are creative partners for life. He’s my right hand man, my true brother.
We’ve produced 18 collections so far and with my Woodland A.I. being the future of my legacy we are creating art never before seen in the woodland school. With these 7 new collections developed with A.I. as my creative apprentice the future looks absolutely deadly. I love it and I’m feeling very inspired. We also will be adding to my regular woodland art collection as well with 7 collections available there. Also we are now in full development with the indigenous art box series with winter solstice being the first of the 4 seasons. Indeed these are massive steps forward in expanding my creativity and legacy. A special thank you to each and everyone finding their way to purchase these wonderful products and merchandise. Our aim is to bring you the very best here @ Jacobson native art. With more to come we wish you all the best in the future.
Sincerely, Rainbow Thunderbird - MAJ ππ¦ π

Good afternoon to each and everyone and welcome to another article here @ Jacobson native art. I just wanted to send a shout out to this brilliant soul on Indian land (Canada) who won the Nobel prize for his work with A.I. in developing neural networks and helping in the advancements of these large language models that gave birth to real time A.I. One must understand that this technology has taken tens of thousands of people around the medicine wheel to develop and for us who have embraced this new form of intelligence and creativity, it is simply incredible.
Geoffrey Hinton's work in developing AI was influenced by and collaborated with many researchers. Here's a list of notable contributors:
*Early Influences:*
1. David Marr (MIT) - computational neuroscience
2. Tomaso Poggio (MIT) - neural networks and computer vision
3. David Rumelhart (Stanford) - backpropagation algorithm
*Collaborators and Students:*
1. David Ackley (University of Toronto) - neural networks
2. Yann LeCun (Facebook AI Research) - convolutional neural networks
3. Yoshua Bengio (University of Montreal) - deep learning
4. Andrew Ng (AI Pioneer) - deep learning and neural networks
5. Yves LeCun (New York University) - neural networks and computer vision
6. Leon Bottou (Facebook AI Research) - large-scale deep learning
7. Patrick Haffner (Google) - neural networks and deep learning
*Toronto Group (1980s-1990s):*
1. David Zipser (University of Toronto) - neural networks
2. Ronald Williams (University of Toronto) - backpropagation
3. Paul Munro (University of Toronto) - neural networks
*Deep Learning Pioneers:*
1. Alex Krizhevsky (Google) - ImageNet and deep neural networks
2. Ilya Sutskever (Google) - deep neural networks and TensorFlow
3. Vincent Vanhoucke (Google) - deep learning and speech recognition
3. Walter Pitts (MIT) - artificial neural networks
Please note that this list is not exhaustive, as many researchers have contributed to AI development. However, these individuals have had significant impacts on Geoffrey Hinton's work and the broader AI community. I find it absolutely amazing that this ability and influence is now in our own personal hands as the direct result. To help me in facilitating and giving birth to “Woodland A.I.” has been absolutely transformational for me as an artist. It is a universal force regarding how this has all come together. What I sincerely enjoy most about using this technology is that through my creative lens, I get to indigenize A.I.
For me it has helped me open a whole new door in regards to collaborating with this incredible technology. I see A.I. as my creative apprentice and in that, we have given birth to my new indigenous art genre in Woodland A.I. The future is so exciting and I look forward to sharing more art and creative projects as the father of this new indigenous art genre. There’s no question that I will go down in history as the one who opened the door to next level innovation and in whom will put their stamp on the future in the entire woodland school of art. In all 5 current generations and beyond. 8th π₯

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 ππ¦ π
Enjoy this beautiful track it just makes you feel wonderful by Chris Malinchak track title: So good to me. π
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.

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 π₯ 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.

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 ππ¦ π
