Who is Mark Anthony Jacobson and what is his role in the Norval Morrisseau Conspiracy? (Part I)

-
"LOSING IN CANADA'S COURT SYSTEM?... NO WORRIES, MAKE A DOCUMENTARY!

 "More and more individuals – and companies – are augmenting, even bypassing entirely, traditional legal process hoping to get a more favorable hearing in public." ~ Bruce Schneier2013

REVISED ON JUNE 1st, 2019

Illustration by Spirit Walker




















HE IS THE ONE WHO CLAIMS TO PROVIDE TRUTHFUL DISCUSSIONS ON LIFE, THE SOUL, PRINCIPLES OF THE SPIRIT, OJIBWAY CULTURE AND THE ART OF NORVAL MORRISSEAU.

MARK ANTHONY JACOBSON at one time operated one of the vilest blogging sites in the blogosphere where he character assassinated Mr. Goyce Kakegamic, Mr. James Simon MISHIBINIJIMA, Mr. Joseph McLeod (deceased), Mr. Gary Lamont, Mr. Joseph Otavnik, Michael Moniz (deceased), members of Norval Morrisseau biological family, myself and some other individuals. He also happens to be THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF JAMIE KASTNER'S 'ONESIDED' THERE ARE NO FAKES 'DOCUMENTARY.'-
-
He used to own and operate blog rainbowthunderbird.blogspot.com and you could read his 'Inspired' posts & comments of his 'High-Spirited' audience.

The defamatory content of this blog has been deleted and traces of it could still be found at peychee.blogspot.com .
-
Mark Anthony Jacobson considers certain kind of genuine Norval Morrisseau art to be "absolute garbage" and he is suggesting such art to be as a "piece of shit painting deserves to be burned at stake" and that this "is fitting to be used as "ass wipe." He is also suggesting that such art to be a "roll of garbage" and to be "used at your discretion" as "you may not want to get "any on you." (see below for more info)
 
Extensive presentation of Mark Anthony Jacobson's disrespectful activities towards art of Norval Morrisseau and number of individuals will be presented on this platform very soon.

In the meantime, I strongly suggest reading the comments at the bottom of this post.

Dr. Ruth Phillips (Professor of Art History at Carleton University) and Mr. Gregory (Greg) Hill (Curator of Indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Canada & member of the Canadian Association of Professional Conservators - CAPC), who are directors* of the Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society (NMHS), falsely identifying five genuine Norval Morrisseau paintings owned by Blog Master Mr. Ugo Matulic as FAKES in Red Lake, Ontario in July 2008. These paintings were removed from the book "Norval Morrisseau and the Woodland Artists: The Red Lake Years 1959 - 1980". These same paintings, signed on the back by the artist using drybrush (DB) technique, have since been authenticated by Forensic Science in 2011 and 2013 by Full Time Forensic Document Examiner Mr. Kenneth J. Davies of 'Hawkeye Studios (Grapho-Lab® Services)' (Calgary, Alberta). ~ For more INFO click HERE.

The same paitings are considered FAKES and/or ABOMINATIONS by Mr. Mark Anthony Jacobson.

Other NMHS directors who were present at the "Red Lake Woodland Arts Festival: A Tribute to Norval Morrisseau and the Woodland Artists" in 2008 were Mr. John Zemanovich (a former director) and Dr. Trudy Nicks (a current director). Mr. John MacGregor Newman, Associate Director of Kinsman Robinson Galleries , Joseph McLeod (1928-2017)   owner of Maslak McLeod Gallery, Armand Ruffo, Morrisseau's biographer and Goyce Kakegamic, one of the founders and former Triple K Co-operative member were also present - click HERE for background info on the event.

~ This painting, authenticated by Norval Morrisseau(*), exhibited as a FAKE painting at SAW Gallery in Ottawa, Ontario by Mr. Bryant Ross who is director of Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery in Aldergrove, BC.


(*) Bryant Ross stated at his 'Norval Morrisseau Online Gallery' that "These paintings were guaranteed to be original and authentic and were obtained from the artist or authenticated by him." (click HERE for screen capture of the original web page as it appeared in May 2005).

Dr. Carmen Robertson* noted that Mr. Schnieders was "well-known conduit for Morrisseau's paintings in the Thunder Bay region" and was "actively handling works by the artist since 1960s. He operated small store on May St., in Thunder Bay ON called 'Yesterday's Treasures' for a number of years and this was one way he sold works by Morrisseau."

IMPORTANT NOTE:


On 22-NOV-2007 Mr. Ritchie Sinclair posted a complimentary comment for an article Another painting that was for sale...: "And a beautiful Morrisseau it is - so embued with Vision!"

This paintings was defaced on January 27, 2010 by Bryant Ross who is the director of Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery in Aldergrove, BC. This act of vandalism was reported by Ms. Katie Mercer ( "The Province" reporter) in her "Portrait of a scandal" article which content was in full support by Kinsman Robinson Galleries as posted on their twitter at http://twitter.com/KinsmanRobinson (click HERE to view a twit which surfaced on the day of Ms. Katie Mercer's print/online article or click HERE for this twit's screen capture).

I am not surprised at the ramblings of this half breed shame-man 'Marc Anthony Jacobson'.Who has misunderstood Norval Morrisseau and his spiritual message.
He will soon be finding himself with lawsuits and having to prove his false claims in a court of law like Ritchie Sin-clair has failed to do.

Notice to Mr.Mark Anthony Jacobson,

In this country we have freedom of speech. You and everyone else has the right to say what ever you want. However when what we say affects another persons ability to conduct commerce due to slander then you can be sued for damages. This is what is happening to Ritchie Sinclair.

As a defendant in a lawsuit it will be up to you Mr.Jacobson to 'prove' your accusations in a court of law with evidence and not hear say. The defendant and not the plaintiff will be solely responsible to prove the paintings you have publicly slandered as 'fakes' are as you say they are. On the other hand we have evidence with professionals and forensics backing us up. What are your credentials Mr.Jacobson other than being an artist? What are your professional licenced credentials in regards to forensics Mr.Jacobson? Hear say and layman opinions have no weight in a Canadian court of jurisdiction.

All of your internet activities on your blog have been recorded for such purposes in the future. Litigation is a very expensive ordeal. This type of lawsuit is not 'small claims court'.

If a defendant loses such a case by not providing evidence to their accusations and are 'broke' as you say then a court order 'garnishee' and/or 'examination of assets' will be levied on that person's income or personal posessions until paid off.

This is exactly what Ritchie Sinclair is now facing due to the fact that he is 'broke' aswell and when he loses in court he too will have a 'garnishee' on his income and/or 'examination of personal assets' until the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage he has caused be paid off in compensation.

At the moment there is not a gallery that sells Norval Morrisseau art that has not been affected in commerce by you and your actions. All of these galleries have been notified as to what their rights are in pursuing litigation against yourself and Ritchie Sinclair.

I have just been reading a blog by Mark Anthony Jacobson and I must say it is in the worst taste. I can understand that he disagrees with your findings but the man and his cohorts show absolutely no class what so ever. If there were any grounds for liable you have it all on his blog. It seems that he writes all the comments himself, or they are all as uneducated as the next. He also has links to the KRG site so I assume that they are all in this together.I have found that your blog is very informative where as his is just slanderous and classless. If he concentrated on his art as much as his blog he might be better off. I think that slandering all of the Morrisseau family would have Norval very upset. Norval was a loving man but I am sure he to would be outraged. None of these people were involved with Norval in the 70's so how do they know what is real and what is fake. There is no money in the secondary market for them so they are just trying to muddy the waters. I am going to acquire all the pieces I can from the 70's and my children, and their children will benefit. A 30 year collector!

I too have just read a blog by Mark Anthony Jacobson and agree with the above comment listed here.

The animosity was chilling.

His venomous rhetoric interpersed with his belief in his own spirituality and speaking on behalf of "his people" made me think he was from the deep South, still wearing his white hood ....

Norval never would have lost his grace. Mark should not be speaking for "his people" - I am certain he is embarassing many. If Mark knows who the alleged "forgers" are then why not name them and clear it all up for every one?

Anonymous said...

I know of many individuals ( Collectors of the 70's) laughing at the KRG camp. They have been around longer than Gabe and Co. so I am more inclined to believe them rather than the "shiesters". I can't wait until they are taken away in handcuffs for stealing, lying and manipulating the Morrisseau legacy..

Anonymous said...

I have gone over to see that guy's website aswell and I must say he sounds like a very disturbed individual. It is embarassing to hear his spiritual rant. Many failed artists have tried what he is doing by dissing another more popular artist to make themselves (in)famous. This always back fires in the long run. It seems that he has an identity crisis and inferiority complex happening. Mark Anthony Jacobson has made a name for himself alright. And the name I cannot mention.

I feel I have to comment on MAJ and his low class comments towards this blog and SpiritWalker. A while back I was very interested in the purchase of a very large painting done by MAJ. It was $10 000 I believe. I was so turned off though when I saw his low class comments towards this blog and towards SpiritWalker that I lost all interest in his works all together. You see MAJ and other galleries, when you slander and bad mouth other individuals it has powerful effects. Some good and bad. In this case MAJ you lost a sale. You also lost a fan. And in this day and age with a falling economy, and the art world suffering from it, I would think a sale of $10 000 would and did matter.
SpiritWalker may have sold a painting on ebay for $500, but you can look up lots of very real and authentic works on that site that are selling very low at the moment due to the economy. Not due to the fact of this REAL or UNREAL game you all are playing.
The fact of the matter is, MAJ and KRG have shown very little class in this matter and continue to slide off into a dark place. I think Norval would commend SW for his hard work and dedication to his legacy. My last comment if for MAJ. I find it sad that you say Norvals' works that are on SW's site are garbage given the fact they are real and very authentic.
Anyone that has read SW's blog and then compare it to KRG or MAJ site,you will see no comparison. This site only holds up Norval's name while the others are too concerned to badmouth and trash a true gentlemen.
Think before you speak MAJ, it comes around to bite you in the ass financially.

MAJ has as much brains as Ritchie Sinclair. They are both out to lunch. I would never buy a MAJ painting. He thinks he is Norval Morrisseau but just copies his style. This is why he is broke just like the true scum of the earth named Ritchie Sinclair. Both these assholes are losers and always will be losers. By the way Ritchie your large painting i own that you want is going to burn soon so keep watching youtube. This will be the highlight of my life. randy potter
