The Project Twins

The Project Twins are James and Michael Fitzgerald, a creative duo who impress with clean lines, handcrafted textures and a conceptual approach. Their work is primarily created using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, combined with traditional techniques such as screen printing and woodcut – a tribute to their involvement with Cork Printmakers, where they produce their own prints.

For every project, the focus is on the concept. For The Project Twins, the idea takes centre stage – followed by the colour scheme. Particularly for editorial and advertising projects, they visually capture clever, witty or complex ideas. Political themes are a particular focus here. As a team, they can deliver projects quickly when required and are well-versed in tight deadlines – a strength that proves particularly advantageous for time-sensitive commissions such as editorial illustrations for daily newspapers.

With a background in graphic design and experience from advertising agencies, The Project Twins combine their knowledge with their artistic practice. Not only have they contributed to branding projects, murals and large-scale art installations, but they have also collaborated with motion designers to bring static illustrations to life. Their expertise extends beyond illustration alone: they are well-versed in art direction, layout design for print and digital media, and the development of coherent visual languages for brands and
