Lost Girls 1

Thoughts on an previous project, and how it's influence my current work

Over the last 18 months, I’ve been focused mainly on my writing. My novel, The Scars We Carry, is progressing well, and I’m cautiously hopeful that, if I keep at it, it might go somewhere.

But it’s not the first story I’ve told.

A few years ago, I ran a low-key webcomic under the working title Lost Girls. It’s a very different creature to Scars, but looking back, it’s clearly cut from the same cloth, belonging, spoopiness, strange northern towns, just set a little closer to our own time.

Looking at the art now, I shudder slightly. But that’s part of it, isn’t it. The more you practise, the better you get. And, thankfully, it does improve.

I’ve been wanting to share a bit more regularly on here, and this felt like a good way to mix things up a little.

So, here it is, in all its slightly chaotic, slightly gory glory, the first edition of Lost Girls.
