This is the extended full cut of all the California: Short Animated History Clips as originally intended. A seamless journey from the 1800’s to the 1930’s. A purely cinematic experience (just visuals and music). My intention was to show the rise and fall of the American Empire in the 20th Century. Since I ran out of time and money to produce this work I’ve only completed the ascent. But maybe this is the more inspirational half. I hope to complete Part 2 eventually.

The 1930’s see the Great Depression. The Dust Bowl sends a new wave of migrants out west in search of prosperity. Despite the economic hardships of the era a couple of American visionaries achieve infamy. Howard Hughes pushes the boundaries of aviation and architect Joseph Strauss constructs the architectural marvel that is The Golden Gate Bridge.

In this short animated history of California: Prohibition, coastal bootleggers, flappers and speakeasies. The Hollywood sign is constructed and sound enters motion pictures. It's also an era of seemingly endless prosperity and growth - until it isn't - with the stock market crash of 1929. Please support this channel by SUBSCRIBING and SHARING.

A Timelapse of the first in a series of Rooster Paintings. Why Roosters? IDK, they've been on my mind lately. They announce the Dawning of a New Day. I paint in Gouache on Arches Watercolor Paper. (I'm trying to disconnect from the iPad and digital renders for a bit). This series of paintings will be available on my website: www.culturaldrop.com

In this animated short former President Richard M. Nixon ruminates on the ennui of the elite and the importance of finding your purpose in life. Taken from the 1977 Frost/Nixon interview series. www.culturaldrop.com

Painted with nostalgia for a simpler, more innocent time when the Pizza Hut aesthetic meant BookIt personal pans, red cups, arcade games and checkered table cloths. It's all gone now.

They're turning the frogs gay

Today's painting marks the 37th anniversary of Welles death. Perhaps the GOAT filmmaker. Citizen Kane remains the quintessential American movie, but his filmography contains many other gems. Fun Fact: Orson was the original "Kenosha Kid" as he was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin. www.culturaldrop.com

Painted while watching YE + Tucker last night. Much respect to an artist who sees through the Hollywood/Media gaslighting BS and sticks to his principles. Our most valuable culture warrior IMO. He’s been an inspiration.

Timelapse video of sketch to final painting. I will eventually be doing a short animated history on Napoleon and was thinking about how his invasion of Russia went (not good).

Timelapse video of sketch to final painting. With a possible World War looming I wanted to depict the psychopaths eager for it to happen.
