PiQue Pieces: Archer banner ad
I think I made this for a past incarnation of the Prism Comics website. This was also a lesson in “scan at high res and reduce later,” because I cannot for the life of me find the original of that drawing of Archer, and only have it at 72dpi.
PiQue Pieces: Bow Tie
This was originally published in the 2008 Prism Comics Guide (later reprinted in Politically InQueerect: Old Ghosts and Other Stories). Line art was hand-drawn, and digitally shaded for the anthology. My intention had been to go back and hand color the comic, but I have never gotten around to doing so.

PiQue Pieces: The Outfield 54
The characters from Politically InQueerect made several cameos in The Outfield over the years. These are all reprinted in The Outfield collection. Credit where it’s due: former NBA star Tim Hardaway took the backlash to heart, worked to educate himself on LGBTQ issues, and went on to become a major supporter of queer rights.
PiQue Pieces: The Outfield 59
The characters from Politically InQueerect made several cameos in The Outfield over the years. These are all reprinted in The Outfield collection.
PiQue Pieces: PiQue Stiques
A full color, full-sized comics page takes me around 15-20 hours to create, just in case you were curious.
PiQue Pieces: Flight
This was originally published in the 2010 STAPLE! Independent Media Expo program guide/anthology. The original is grayscale, digital color added later.
PiQue Pieces: Clean
This was originally published in Rocksalt, an indie comics newspaper in Austin, Texas. Reprinted in Politically InQueerect: Old Ghosts and Other Stories. The shading here is a mix of Prismacolor marker and ink wash (the sunbeam is a digital add-on). The printed version was true grayscale, but the color incarnation looks pretty neat as-is.
PiQue Pieces: Transposes cameo
Todd and Archer make a cameo appearance in the first page of Blake’s chapter from Transposes. The final printed version of this page is in grayscale. This is what the page looks like in full color (shaded with a mix of cool gray Prismacolor marker and ink wash).
PiQue Pieces: Punk Archer AU sketch
This drawing is the result of a comment thread on Tapastic, speculating on what Archer might have been like if he’d gotten heavily into punk. (I ended up removing all my comics from Tapastic after they changed their Terms of Service in a way that was unacceptable to me.)
