Pavement Painters - The Masked Mafia

An art student with a knack for finding himself in conflict moves back to his hometown only to find that it has become rife with gang activity, violence, and everything he isn’t. He wants to focus on his studies, but will he be able to live the quiet life he idealises whilst he gets dragged further and further into the underworld? Can he keep both lives separate, or will his mask be seen through, revealing his identity? Can he juggle being a notorious figure in the underworld with his goal of being a world renowned artist? Can the boss of the town’s newest gang survive long enough to finish his course? Or will he become the worst kind of person- a murderer? (Hope you guys enjoy this! I am trying to write this alongside my other novel Leviathan’s System, so updates may be sporadic. :) )
