Tamalpais, where the rugged scenery inspired him from an early age to create landscape prints strongly influenced by traditional Japanese woodblock prints. Along with publishing fine art letterpress books, Killion holds a PhD in African history from Stanford University and has taught history at several Bay Area universities. He is the founder of The Quail Press and his extensively illustrated books include "28 Views of Mount Tamalpais", "The Coast of California", and "Walls: A Journey Across Three Continents". Killion and Gary Snyder previously collaborated on "The High Sierra of California", which was published by Heyday in 2002 and "Tamalpais Walking", published in 2009.
