This is Jim Cleveland

- What is art? Herein lies the answer. It is reduced to the life's work of one man, far removed from the glamour of galleries, whose convictions have sustained a commitment that can only be marvelled at.

So, for the record, I am Jim's older brother I am not as nutty as him,(close) so I will give him credit for trying. We tried to do syndicated cartooning when we were young . We both had to go elsewhere to follow our dreams. John Dunsworth and I were soulmates growing up .( proud of that). I became an Engineer in California and Jim became Jim. I am that brother who helped make the log cabin. I am 78 and Jim is now 77, time goes by. could ramble on but you get the idea. Gary Cleveland
Thanks for the story!
most people have stories in their lives, but some have lives that are stories
Tantum Mortales I like that!
Great way to put it to words.
Travel well Mr Lahey, youll be missed
I can see why you highlighted Jim. Not many original souls left. What amazing art he makes. Good friend you have there.
The world is a better place because John Dunsworth and Jim Cleveland shared it with humanity. Thanks guys. Rest in peace.
"From that moment on I was an artist. I refused to be anything else" Just incredible way of thinking.
Eddie Espinoza it really is, isn't it!?
it's such a shame how many people haven't seen this. My awareness will-will it into existence!
The fact that mr. Dunsworth decided to use the platform that he had(his RUclips Channel) to promote his friend's work in the hope that he would sell more and thus had to spend less time painting seascapes and more Archetypes says a lot about the integrity that Mr. Dunsworth had.
Thank you so much to the family to leaving these gems online for us to discover, even if it is many years later. Even if it is only today.
Warm greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱
Had a blast working on this John! Turned out great!
I'd die to have a life like this.
And did you?
I would love to spend a summer over in Canada living in the woods with Jim and his wife. What a fulfilling experience that would be.
Very beautiful, Mr. Dunsworth. Thank you for this, and thank Mr. Cleveland too.
Loved this film. It was great to meet Jim, and trust that he's made it to the next level!
This channel is an extremely raw encapsulation of what Canada is like on a coast line, in a small town. The good, the strange, the ugly. Aside from a bit of an accent, this could have been shot in Sechelt, B.C. I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. It makes me feel at home :)
why dont you shut the hell up
wonderfull and inspiring. never let vice get ahold of this.
Maarmosetjoe God, I could only imagine. that douche Morris Hamilton's pretentious douche voice and douche face.
I read that wrong. You got that right.
John Dunsworth is I am the liquor, Jimmy Cleveland is I am the Magic Mushroom... much love to his wife for supporting him
this guy's got it figured out, guys. he really does.
Yes but I thought I was bad with add ADHD
It's not a bad thing.
they try n stop it' controll it.
I say push it' let that flag fly'
We could all do more for the world and I wonder what its like when the world works in reverse adhd.
Doods amazing in his own unique way
If you go slightly off the path it is easy to be painted as being outside the lines. Thanks for the wonderful insight, John. Wonderful.
Incredible story, John Dunsworth you're truly lucky to know such an enlightened individual
He was also lucky to have known John.

Quote of the year.
This wonderful man made my husband and I gut laugh as we fight stage 3 prostate cancer. That takes a comedic genius. Bless you John's family! ((Hugs)) Sarah.
God Bless
Really beautiful paintings. A travesty an artist of that quality could go a whole year without selling.
Many do, unfortunately most people only see something as art after someone else, usually quite the snob told them it is art. Too much of the artworld's time and energy is wasted because of and by people who use art as a social signifier. "I understand art thus i am superior to you". Real shame as art is something everyone should have access to and everyone should try doing.
Man it's great to see Mr. Dunsworth again. Thanks for making this and the other videos/docs you made with him in it. Seems like such a genuine, kind man.
Incredible bloke and very interesting to listen to
To make a life for yourself, where you are happy is the best any of us can hope for. He seems to have done this.
Rest In Peace you beautiful guy
Only recently discovered John's work. First time watching this also, inspirational free-form living. I love it. Respect to John (R. I. P) for highlighting the man. 👍
Why on God's green earth, would Anyone be angry about your work.
So much TRUTH you speak & make.
Thank you for sharing. I am so Blessed ! I Love All of you.
simply the most inspirational video I've seen in years
Brilliant guy and masterful artist!
His art is amazing. And behind it is a real artist.
The life of an artist. The life of art.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this John.
There’s something so wonderful and beautiful about this..
Jim is the type of artist that won't be appreciated until years after he's gone.
A true Masterpiece, brilliantly Heartwarming! Thank you, John Dunsworth for creating&sharing a glimpse into the life of the Man, the Artist, Jim Cleveland. It is always moving to witness humans living and thriving by Being Themselves.
His art style is amazing! Very inspiring.
I can't believe that the Nova Scotia Gallery was angry about his paintings. This man is incredible. I'd love to buy one of his paintings.
I would love to trace down a few of these amazing paintings
i want my house ful of his art! so amazing!
Thank you very much for creating this. What an amazing human.
Nova Scotia is so beautiful.
I am taking a road trip there this July to witness it's majestic beauty myself. :D
Jim is a wonderful artist! Those paintings are gorgeous!
I'd buy one of those, what a great look.
Id come see Jim play at the community centre. Maybe I'll look him up when I go out east. Nice of you to share this John. What a genuine character. Wish we could all believe in magic like this man. What an interesting world it would be.
Holy fuck what a incredible human being! If it wasn’t for John passing away I would have never knew who this man was and if it wasn’t for trailer park boys I wouldn’t know who either of these men were both are truly inspiring..one of the weird nights where u stream thru RUclips and come across something that will change ur life this video is it I’m a artist and I will now step up my work to a whole new level because of Cleveland and Dunsworth and the passion and drive both these men hold rip John you’re truly missed! And now getting to know u on a whole new level I have so much more respect for you u were! Gods speed my friend
RIP John
The gallery of Nova Scotia are far too conceited to appreciate inspiring art.
Hey I'm wondering. Does somebody read these comments to him? I would love to ask him questions. and no doubt he would have no hesitation to give me an answer!
Daniel Porteous You could go down to Southwest Cove where he sells his art and ask him questions
Loved it,ty john,miss u buddy, wisdom only he could teach,rip john thank u for everything...
A man of true vision is a man who sees the world as magical and full of awesome possibilities, and is at ease with that insight even though those blind to it may mock him. A man of true vision often travels a lonely road, but is okay with that, and is true to his special view of life and his place in it.
Jim Cleveland is a genius and unfortunately like most true geniuses he has a glitch we just can't fathom out
North West Cove Nova Scotia has the most interesting people and spectacular beauty. Thanks
for sharing this with the world.
Thanks for sharing. I hope this video exposes his amazing paintings to more people. I didn't much like the music, but I did like his lyrics.
Exceptionally well made, very interested in Jim Cleveland's work. This is the life I would aspire to have. hope he's still going strong. That music though........
yeah, but the lyrics are something.
This man sounds & lives exactly like Terence McKenna crossed with Sasha Shulgin. awesome
I love this guy. Hope to go back and work with him some day.
Nicely done sir
What an interesting artist he is... love what he thinks and what he creates... thumbs up from me, an Australian Artist!
This guy is so awesome. I love the way he thinks and the way he looks at things.
Love this so much- good way to start my day. Thank you
Jim Cleveland, your art is the best I have ever seen. I hope whoever purchased them takes care of them. Inspiring story about life. Jim Cleveland could really give me run in conversation. I wish my father was like him. Down to earth, but perception of various life concept. He really wants to know why people say and do what they do. I hope all is well with everyone after coronavirus. Stay happy, healthy, and inspired folks.
Hes smarter than most.
Brilliant Enlightened eternal Being
OMG !!! Your work is FANTASTIC !!
I am going to be So Shocked if a good marketing system or agency doesn't scarf you up & make you millions !!! Bless you. Your work ethic, your talent & your magical world. All what others call mumbo jumbo is Sacred geometry Brilliance !!! Bliss to you Soul brother.
I bet his shows are bumpin now
I want to move to that island
@John Dunsworth
"when traveling by handcart, it's best you take frequent bearings" - John you did set a mood with wood chopping scene in the snow - lovely - audio clips woven together in a way that worked when screen got scrolled up out of sight. When film attains to the heights of radio, you've got something!
Hail Jim Cleveland!
beyond words....
a true work of love.
from a real artist
What a gift,Thanks for sharing John and to all who participated in making this doc. A visit to see Jim and his paintings have top priority when I visit next.
A unique individual to say the least...Thanks for sharing John.
This melts my heart. Long live Mr. John Dunsworth. Godspeed.
What wonderful people and such lovely art!
This is awesome, I love the friendship you guys have that's lasted so long, it reminds me of when I was young playing with my best friend out in the woods wanting to build a tree house for us to live in and we would get about as far as hitting eachother with sticks xD You have a cool life and some interesting characters in it! Thanks for sharing your art and life with us :)
Beautiful little documentary.
Thanks for sharing this! Inspiring!
Truly inspirational art, and story work!!!
I wish there was a way that I could buy some of his paintings online. We cant make the trip up north to see what he has, but i do love his painting artistic style and hope I could buy a painting or two from him. I tried googling for a place, but couldnt a way to directly buy from him.
What an amazing film. I am engrossed by it.
The art this man produced was incredible.
what a great documentary
Is this guy still kick'n? I would love to send him a postcard from Scotland. I'm a displaced newfie and I have a real appreciation for his edge.
I am Jim's brother. His address is Jim Cleveland, 149 Owls head dr. Northwest Cove, Nova Scotia, BOJITO, Canada
DK if you still care but yeah he's still alive
Thanks for sharing, John.
Wow. Thank you for sharing this.
Fuckin lahey! Thanks Mr. Dunsworth, interesting people tend to flock together I see.
Wonderful, John. Glad to meet Jim this way and I look forward to going to see his work this summer. I had no idea about the outdoor gallery.
15:34 "of course you can't paint that, but something will come out from trying." woah
the water looked so alive in that one painting, i know art, wow
i already had alot of love for mr Dunsworth. then i found this golden channel! holy cow, what an interesting man
also. his best friend is quite the character! how/where could we buy his paintings?
Thank you
Amazing paintings with fixed symbols will be a joy to decode there meanings.
@JulieMcAlpine
Nice job Ms Julie McAlpine, editor - 2 great quotes saved for just before and after credits. This film shows the generosity, in John, for his under-appreciated buddy James, and in James, for the cosmos. Jim's song lyrics (not so much his guitar) put me in mind of Mendelson Joe. The winter setting made Jim's palette look wilder, too.
Nice job showcasing an old friend and his art.
I hope he's sold more archetypal paintings as a result.
It's awesome to see how much joy it brings him to see people enjoy is unique point of view.
Holy moly those paintings are really nice!!! 😊 really beautiful
I was one of the camera ops on this, he’s a very interesting fellow.
You guys did incredible
A true gem🎉 I wish I could buy his paintings.
I want a JIm Cleveland Architype painting so bad. This is one of the most inspiring stories in the world.
This man is amazing. And as odd as he may seem he is spot on about alot of things. I now see where John gets his metaphysical and spiritual teachings from. And that I often wondered
...i'll die happy in the dirt as long as I have love in my heart...THANKS John...I hope you will make more videos....
i just wanna give him a big hug
Nice story these people are so good
The information about the video couldn't explain it any better. I also liked the end when he talked about UFOs. Very good work Jim and John.
