Europe & Africa 

Killion travelled extensively in Europe and Africa during the years 1976-95, keeping sketch diaries, watercolors and illustrated journals from many trips. During the 1980s he collected many of his travel images into a series of prints for his handprinted book: "Walls: A Journey Across Three Continents". Some of these European and African images are shown below. Many involve Killion's early experiments with elaborate multi-block reduction cuts and multiple key blocks. All prints are limited editions, signed and numbered.
