About Town SOMA

First edition available for a limited time only!

120 pages of illustrations made while observing the hustle & bustle at coffeeshops, cafes, flower shops, toy stores, art stores, pools, community bands, 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.
