About Town SOMA: The Illustrations of Ken Stanek
This is a compilation of the of illustrations I've made while observing the day to day hustle & bustle at coffeeshops, cafes, flower shops, toy stores, art stores, pools, community band performances, dive bars, gazebos, and everything local to Maplewood & South Orange New Jersey.
These places are the threads that weave the fabric of our towns and form the identity that we love about living here.
There will be over 100 pages of my artwork captured here together for the first time with more than four dozen individual places! One of these has got to be your favorite spot. I know I've got a couple of mine:
