About Town SOMA

Portraits of South Orange & Maplewood Small businesses

In October of 2024 I put out a book of my illustrations of coffeeshops, cafes, florists, toy stores, art stores, pools, community bands, dive bars, gazebos - everything local to Maplewood & South Orange New Jersey.

These places are the threads that weave the fabric of our towns. Whether you’re a lifetime resident or you just moved here, this book is full of memories.

Prints of every shop I’ve ever done available here.

The Maplewood Map

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was to work on this project! The Maplewood Village Alliance reached out to me to create this map for 2024, and I spent two months in the fall propping myself up all over town to draw it. One person bought me a cupcake. One person interviewed me for a school project. A whole lot of people stopped & chatted for a while. One person told me about this 1910 illustrated map of Maplewood that some guy hired a hot ballon for (this is what I will do for 2025. Donate here [1]). The version inside the Holiday issue of Matters Magazine labels all 90+ businesses (only a fraction of whom I’ve illustrated so far!) This is a snapshot in time, and I’m honored to have worked on it.
