Eric Rewitzer and Annie Galvin of 3 Fish Studios reflect on the inspiration for their linocut art print "California Rising" and how it became an icon of the Golden State's fighting spirit. This was originally filmed in early 2017 in San Francisco shortly after Donald Trump became president, but was finished and released during the 2020 Presidential Election when Trump/Pence fought for reelection against the Biden/Harris ticket. 3 Fish Studios has since moved to Amador County, CA.
