Hi. It’s me Ken
Your friendly neighborhood watercolor documentarian
I paint portraits. Pet portraits, people portraits, building portraits. You may catch me making sketchbook paintings of cafés, coffeeshops and bars. Look around. See if your favorite spot is available as a print. If it isn’t, let me know your favorite spot and I’ll meet you there & doodle it.
The Maplewood Map
Everyone in Maplewood has their favorite spot downtown and it’s in this illustrated map!
The Maplewood Village Alliance commissioned this from me in the fall of 2024 for the centerfold of the Holiday issue of Matters Magazine. It’s the first fully illustrated map of downtown Maplewood NJ.
