The ‘Alameda, the view from the Island City’ poster is a tribute to one of California’s important cities. The poster highlights this  island that occupies what was originally a peninsula connected to Oakland. Much of it was low-lying and marshy, but on higher ground than the peninsula and adjacent parts of what is now downtown Oakland were home to one of the largest coastal oak forests in the world.

I am excited to include Alameda, in a portfolio of important places, cities and regions I have illustrated over the last 20 years. As an artist, I have created edition posters celebrating cities and regions around the country. Some of those include Boston, Silicon Valley, Diamond Peak Resort, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Davis, Route 128, Wall Street, Palo Alto, Watsonville, the Tannery Arts Center, San Luis Obispo, Pasadena, Ventura,  and Santa Cruz to name a few.

The city occupies two islands as well as a small section of the mainland. Today, the city consists of the main original section, with the former Naval Air Station Alameda (NAS Alameda) at the west end of Alameda Island, Southshore along the southern side of Alameda Island, and Bay Farm Island, which is part of the mainland proper.
