Project Crossroads

“I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

Project Crossroads features short stories created by a selection of Ireland’s rising comic stars. Each tale has been crafted with a unique personality and outlook, tied together with one artistic voice.

Divergent stories. 
Evolving voices. 
This is Project Crossroads.

Project Crossroads is an original anthology featuring three short stories, spearheaded by myself. For the title, I gathered some of the top Irish creators to craft stories which would challenge and excite the reader. On this title, I was not only editor, but I also illustrated the entire book and lettered one of the stories.

The 3 short stories range in genre and tone; 'Retired' is an action heavy, sci-fi thriller; 'Shift' is a teen horror set in the Irish country side; and 'Ducksworth's Last Stand' is a fantasy story with an unexpected twist. For each of these stories I attempted to compliment the tone of the story with my artwork, changing the techniques and materials I used to increase the impact of the narratives on the reader.

"I lost so many proverbials when I read it" - Paul Carroll, Comix Ireland
