"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

There were a few days, during the unnerving start of the pandemic, where the young resident had to stay with a close friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, Frost tells me, “because our youth is not a U.S. citizen, they’re on an eduction visa, and because there was no in-person class, there was there really big question of will they be able to stay in this country or will they be deported?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily, Green, an educator at City College, connected the young person to the proper resources to get everything straightened out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the stay their young resident was supported with gift cards from the SF LGBT Center and check-ins from a case manager. Green and Frost received support for their utilities and were engaged in meetings as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the six-month period was up, the young person transitioned into a stable housing situation with a roommate who was immunocompromised, causing the young person to keep a distance from Green and Frost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“W\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">e had a final dinner on Zoom,” Green tells me, mentioning that they still stay in contact to this day. “T\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">hey keep saying, ‘When this is all over I’m going to have you over, I’m going to cook dinner for you, I’m going to show you my place.'”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reflecting on their experience, Frost says, “It’s so easy, in San Francisco, to look out at all of the homeless population and feel a real sense of despair and helplessness.” But he says the program \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">gave he and his partner a tangible way of helping one person, “and sometimes all you can do is help one other person.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Green dispels any notion of a savior mentality. But it reminds him of the parable about two people seeing thousands of starfish washed ashore, and one person picking one up and throwing it back into its ocean home. “Why are you bothering? It’s not going to make any difference, there’s so many,” the other person says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green tells this story, before answering, “It’ll make a difference for \u003cem>that\u003c/em> one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13899806\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13899806\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/07/Jay2-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Jay Young sitting on their skateboard on a park in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/07/Jay2-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/07/Jay2-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/07/Jay2-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/07/Jay2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/07/Jay2-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/07/Jay2-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/07/Jay2-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jay Young sits on their skateboard in a park in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">T\u003c/span>hat one starfish is a young person like Jay Young.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When asked where they’d be without this program, Young tells me, “Probably back in a mental hospital.” And then they say, “Nah, for real, I don’t think I could’ve handled the pandemic nearly as well as I did.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Young’s hosts were \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77e7rVeYkUk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adam and Decima\u003c/a>, and their three children. After befriending the youngest one, Young says, the older kids eventually came around. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It’s a trip to think about,” says Young. “The whole year went by, and those were like my best friends.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young says they spent time with Adam and Decima too, running errands, cooking or going to the park as a family. The experience overall gave Young a new perspective on what’s possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I just felt so stressed at the time I moved in,” says Young. “Just feeling like, how am I ever going to be financially ok? In San Francisco, how am I going to find good roommates? Find good anything? And take care of myself without getting super overwhelmed? And it ended up happening.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Young says they now live in a “cool queer house” in Oakland, and are better suited for change. “I’m not super overwhelmed the way I was before,” adds Young, who \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">moved out the night of the oldest kid’s birthday dinner. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They had a shared celebration; Karessa Irvin and Young’s mother were even in attendance. “The biggest thing for me,” says Young, “was for the kids to understand that it’s a ‘goodbye,’ but it’s not like ‘Jay is gone.’ It’s just going to be different.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karessa Irvin says more hosts are needed for Host Homes, and urges people who are interested in contributing to the effort to end homelessness to \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/host-homes-information-session-tickets-146666931741\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">apply\u003c/a>. In doing the work of connecting resources, people and places, she tells me there’s a saying she often thinks about: “\u003cspan>Homelessness doesn’t start when people run out of money, it starts when people run out of relationships.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s only the second full year of the pilot program at the SF LGBT Center, and only three people have so far completed the process. But the program, and the stories of those involved, show all of the work and resources that it takes to make a difference: government funding, a community center that’s actually ingrained in the community, and individuals stepping up to make a change. All of that energy just throw one starfish back into the ocean. But it makes a big difference for that one starfish.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And it ended up happening.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Young says they now live in a “cool queer house” in Oakland, and are better suited for change. “I’m not super overwhelmed the way I was before,” adds Young, who \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">moved out the night of the oldest kid’s birthday dinner. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They had a shared celebration; Karessa Irvin and Young’s mother were even in attendance. “The biggest thing for me,” says Young, “was for the kids to understand that it’s a ‘goodbye,’ but it’s not like ‘Jay is gone.’ It’s just going to be different.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karessa Irvin says more hosts are needed for Host Homes, and urges people who are interested in contributing to the effort to end homelessness to \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/host-homes-information-session-tickets-146666931741\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">apply\u003c/a>.

According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/research/wp-content/uploads/sites/174/2020/08/Tpop1d200819.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CDCR’s latest weekly report\u003c/a>, CMF currently houses 2,168 people (91.8% of the capacity for which the facility was built) while Solano currently holds 3,461 people (132.6% of the capacity for which the facility was built).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When officials ordered local residents to be evacuated because of the fire, the \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/vacavillepolice/status/1296233590347296768?s=11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">evacuation area originally outlined\u003c/a> by the Vacaville Police Department contained the two prisons. But the people in both prisons were never evacuated, and instead given masks. Soon after, the facilities were removed from the mandatory evacuation listing, with a CDCR spokesperson giving the reason that “\u003ca href=\"https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/21/california-fires-prisons-covid-outbreaks?__twitter_impression=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">they were not in immediate danger\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/22/do-not-worry-about-any-firefighting-bay-area-fire-crews-fight-to-rescue-people-as-fires-spread-unchecked/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Mercury News\u003c/em> reported\u003c/a> that as firefighters approached Cherry Hill Road, just over the ridge from the prisons, they radioed to each other, “do not worry about any firefighting.” Instead, they scrambled to assist in the evacuation of local residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before getting back on 80, I sat in the 90-degree heat at 5pm and watched the ash accumulate in the gutter outside of CMF, thinking of the CDCR’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s most exemplified by \u003ca href=\"https://www.capradio.org/articles/2020/07/01/san-quentin-outbreak-tied-to-inmate-transfer-relying-on-outdated-covid-19-test-results/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the outbreak at San Quentin\u003c/a>, where one transfer has led to hundreds of cases of COVID-19, and over 25 COVID-19 related deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite hundreds of people being released in recent months, the Californian prison system remains overcrowded. And in addition, healthcare in prisons is lackluster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CMF, which has reported \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/covid19/population-status-tracking/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one new case of COVID-19\u003c/a> in the past 14 days (while only testing 23% of their population during that span), is designed to house people who are terminally ill, as well as those dealing with mental health issues and other diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For six months in 2018, I worked at that facility, teaching a writing class through the William James Association Prison Arts Project. I met people who appreciate storytelling through rap music, as well as public radio. They took religious gatherings as seriously as their basketball games. And their gardening program provided a mental release for at least one person—I know, because that’s what he’d often write about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humans, all of them. Now impacted by COVID-19 and smoke inhalation from wildfires, just like all of us.

Fires are burning everywhere. On Sunday, the California Office of Emergency Services \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Cal_OES/status/1297618988705300480?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">published an updated map\u003c/a> of current fires in the state. I held it up against \u003ca href=\"https://lightinprison.org/us/ca/institutions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a map of California’s penal institutions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are fires close to a number of facilities, undoubtedly sending unhealthy air inside the buildings. But there’s nothing like seeing the proximity of the fire in Vacaville, and knowing that over 5,000 people are inside the prisons in the not-too-far distance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s one thing to consider how the people around them were evacuated, but those in the prisons weren’t. It adds a layer of anger to know that every year, people serving time behind bars earn pennies to fight fires. And this year, despite \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/22/us/california-wildfires-prisoners.html?auth=link-dismiss-google1tap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a lower number of incarcerated firefighters\u003c/a> due to the state releasing hundreds of inmates to slow the spread of COVID-19 amongst the remaining prison population, there are still incarcerated people out there, working the frontlines, fighting fires. And Vacaville residents are thankful for their work—\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/mgafni/status/1297640466532274177?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">there’s video to show it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which raises the lingering question: if we’re standing at the intersection of mass incarceration, global warming and COVID-19, what’s the plan? How will officials replace the cheap labor force they’ve been using to fight fires? And does the CDCR have an evacuation plan for the people remaining inside of California’s facilities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, a CDCR spokesperson mentioned precautions the organization has taken, such as clearing some of the surrounding acreage behind the Vacaville facilities. But when asked about a specific evacuation plan, the spokesperson danced around the question, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/21/no-one-deserves-conditions-like-this-fires-present-health-risks-prompt-calls-to-evacuate-nearby-state-prisons/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given recent trends, we will undoubtedly see more wildfires in California. Looking at the location of many of California’s penal institutions, they will continue to be impacted by climate change. And understanding the correlation between overcrowding and the prevalence of health issues within the system, it doesn’t seem likes there’s any room to budge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, again, what’s the plan?\u003c/p>\n\n",

According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/research/wp-content/uploads/sites/174/2020/08/Tpop1d200819.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CDCR’s latest weekly report\u003c/a>, CMF currently houses 2,168 people (91.8% of the capacity for which the facility was built) while Solano currently holds 3,461 people (132.6% of the capacity for which the facility was built).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When officials ordered local residents to be evacuated because of the fire, the \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/vacavillepolice/status/1296233590347296768?s=11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">evacuation area originally outlined\u003c/a> by the Vacaville Police Department contained the two prisons. But the people in both prisons were never evacuated, and instead given masks. Soon after, the facilities were removed from the mandatory evacuation listing, with a CDCR spokesperson giving the reason that “\u003ca href=\"https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/21/california-fires-prisons-covid-outbreaks?__twitter_impression=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">they were not in immediate danger\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/22/do-not-worry-about-any-firefighting-bay-area-fire-crews-fight-to-rescue-people-as-fires-spread-unchecked/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Mercury News\u003c/em> reported\u003c/a> that as firefighters approached Cherry Hill Road, just over the ridge from the prisons, they radioed to each other, “do not worry about any firefighting.” Instead, they scrambled to assist in the evacuation of local residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before getting back on 80, I sat in the 90-degree heat at 5pm and watched the ash accumulate in the gutter outside of CMF, thinking of the CDCR’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s most exemplified by \u003ca href=\"https://www.capradio.org/articles/2020/07/01/san-quentin-outbreak-tied-to-inmate-transfer-relying-on-outdated-covid-19-test-results/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the outbreak at San Quentin\u003c/a>, where one transfer has led to hundreds of cases of COVID-19, and over 25 COVID-19 related deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite hundreds of people being released in recent months, the Californian prison system remains overcrowded. And in addition, healthcare in prisons is lackluster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CMF, which has reported \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/covid19/population-status-tracking/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one new case of COVID-19\u003c/a> in the past 14 days (while only testing 23% of their population during that span), is designed to house people who are terminally ill, as well as those dealing with mental health issues and other diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For six months in 2018, I worked at that facility, teaching a writing class through the William James Association Prison Arts Project. I met people who appreciate storytelling through rap music, as well as public radio. They took religious gatherings as seriously as their basketball games. And their gardening program provided a mental release for at least one person—I know, because that’s what he’d often write about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humans, all of them. Now impacted by COVID-19 and smoke inhalation from wildfires, just like all of us.

Fires are burning everywhere. On Sunday, the California Office of Emergency Services \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Cal_OES/status/1297618988705300480?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">published an updated map\u003c/a> of current fires in the state. I held it up against \u003ca href=\"https://lightinprison.org/us/ca/institutions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a map of California’s penal institutions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are fires close to a number of facilities, undoubtedly sending unhealthy air inside the buildings. But there’s nothing like seeing the proximity of the fire in Vacaville, and knowing that over 5,000 people are inside the prisons in the not-too-far distance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s one thing to consider how the people around them were evacuated, but those in the prisons weren’t. It adds a layer of anger to know that every year, people serving time behind bars earn pennies to fight fires. And this year, despite \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/22/us/california-wildfires-prisoners.html?auth=link-dismiss-google1tap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a lower number of incarcerated firefighters\u003c/a> due to the state releasing hundreds of inmates to slow the spread of COVID-19 amongst the remaining prison population, there are still incarcerated people out there, working the frontlines, fighting fires. And Vacaville residents are thankful for their work—\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/mgafni/status/1297640466532274177?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">there’s video to show it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which raises the lingering question: if we’re standing at the intersection of mass incarceration, global warming and COVID-19, what’s the plan? How will officials replace the cheap labor force they’ve been using to fight fires? And does the CDCR have an evacuation plan for the people remaining inside of California’s facilities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, a CDCR spokesperson mentioned precautions the organization has taken, such as clearing some of the surrounding acreage behind the Vacaville facilities. But when asked about a specific evacuation plan, the spokesperson danced around the question, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/21/no-one-deserves-conditions-like-this-fires-present-health-risks-prompt-calls-to-evacuate-nearby-state-prisons/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given recent trends, we will undoubtedly see more wildfires in California. Looking at the location of many of California’s penal institutions, they will continue to be impacted by climate change. And understanding the correlation between overcrowding and the prevalence of health issues within the system, it doesn’t seem likes there’s any room to budge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I thought it’d be OK; I was only going in for a few minutes. And wouldn’t you know it, when I came outside, I found a shiny white City of Oakland parking ticket mounted on the dusty windshield of my Chevy underbucket. $58.00 for five minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See, the Bay Area costs too much to be nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parking tickets, the rent, the gas money, the groceries! I’m paying college tuition prices for my babysitter.

I’ve missed a number of birthday parties (happy belated bday, Rae). And really, at this point, I only socialize for work-related reasons—and even if it is pure socializing, work-related things will get mentioned. Because work is actually all I can think about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the convos I do have are usually short. Moms taught me the trick to making sure an unwanted dialogue doesn’t go a minute too long. “I don’t mean to be short, but I am”—a double-entendre from my 4’11” mother, Dolores. She raised me to have manners, to be kind and to listen to people. (I’d also credit her with passing down that whole “you’re too nice” thing I’ve got going.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as of late, I’ve been cutting the charisma back a bit.

There being no such class, SB Masters and Tom Whitridge lined up a potential teacher, respected San Francisco typographer Jack Stauffacher, and then a grant to cover his pay. Soon after that, poet and printer William Everson began teaching at UCSC, too. Over time, the program grew to offer UCSC students all sorts of classes, in typography, design, printmaking and book making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new exhibit at the \u003ca href=\"http://cowell.ucsc.edu/smith-gallery/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery\u003c/a> that opens this weekend called \u003ca href=\"https://events.ucsc.edu/event/3443\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pressing On: Selected Works from the Cowell Press\u003c/a> explores the legacy of the UCSC program.

But for many decades, he lived in Santa Cruz County, starting with a stint at UC Santa Cruz in the early 1970s.

There being no such class, SB Masters and Tom Whitridge lined up a potential teacher, respected San Francisco typographer Jack Stauffacher, and then a grant to cover his pay. Soon after that, poet and printer William Everson began teaching at UCSC, too. Over time, the program grew to offer UCSC students all sorts of classes, in typography, design, printmaking and book making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new exhibit at the \u003ca href=\"http://cowell.ucsc.edu/smith-gallery/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery\u003c/a> that opens this weekend called \u003ca href=\"https://events.ucsc.edu/event/3443\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pressing On: Selected Works from the Cowell Press\u003c/a> explores the legacy of the UCSC program. On Saturday, there will be a panel discussion at the Page Smith Library that features the current head of the program, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gary-young.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gary Young\u003c/a>, and a couple of star alums, including \u003ca href=\"http://movingpartspress.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Felicia Rice\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.tomkillion.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tom Killion\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was a wonderful moment in time at UC Santa Cruz,” says Killion, whose work has been exhibited in California, New York and Europe. “There were all these wonderful professors who had come to participate in a world-class experiment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Killion hails from Marin County and currently lives near Point Reyes. But for many decades, he lived in Santa Cruz County, starting with a stint at UC Santa Cruz in the early 1970s. That’s where his career started — “inadvertently,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11268205\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 701px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11268205 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Pogonip-701x600.jpeg\" alt=\"“Santa Cruz from the Pogonip,” more or less the view from Cowell College, UCSC, a multi-block woodcut print from 2002 by Tom Killion.\" width=\"701\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Pogonip-701x600.jpeg 701w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Pogonip-400x342.jpeg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/01/Pogonip.jpeg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Santa Cruz from the Pogonip,” more or less the view from Cowell College, UCSC, a multi-block woodcut print from 2002 by Tom Killion. \u003ccite>(Courtesy: Tom Killion)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He was a history major making a book of linoleum prints of Mt.

He’d be talking about the great European type designers of the 20th century – which was way over our heads – but it got us inspired,” Killion says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
