Williams chose the pseudonym "ChrisCross" because he wanted people to know that his talent didn't just lean on being a penciller in comics. That "Chris" could "Cross" over to inking, writing, and coloring also. His intense spiritual background also featured into the thought process of the pseudonym, being the son of a preacher and a Born-Again Christian himself.
