I'm excited for The Collected Cat Rackham book launch and signing event tomorrow at The Beguiling in Toronto. Don't forget to join the facebook event if you're planning to attend!
But meanwhile! My regular job is writing and drawing storyboards on Adventure Time. And sometimes the show's crew blog releases copies of recent storyboards. Check out the most recent one, drawn with my board partner Tom Herpich here. It's the episode "Vamps About" from the miniseries "Stakes".
My new book The Collected Cat Rackham comes out this month!! It's a beautiful book, and I'm very proud of it. To celebrate, I will be in Toronto at The Beguiling on Wednesday Sept. 21 from 6-9pm. We'll probably be moving over to The Central pub next door at some point.
Not only will I be there to sign books, but I'm really excited that my amazing friend Emily Carroll will be there to do a friendly chat with me. Emily and I have been friends for a very long time, and I can't think of anyone better to talk about comics and Cat Rackham with.
There's a facebook event page for the party, if you'd like to put it on your calendar!
Some of my wonderful and extraordinarily skilled friends wrote blurbs for my new Cat Rackham book (The Collected Cat Rackham, available in late September). I'm so touched!
"Cat Rackham is a punch in the gut and a squeeze in the heart." — Vera Brosgol, author of the Eisner Award and Harvey Award-winning Anya's Ghost
"'Poor Cat Rackham' is something I have said while sighing, laughing, or occasionally guarding against tears. As much as his characters may struggling with life, I am always struggling right there beside them. There is a wonderful quality to Steve's work that makes it both a joy and a comfort to read." — Emily Carroll, author of the Eisner Award-winning Through the Woods
“The simple mundanity and horror of depression and the unknown is at the core of all of us. Steve knows where it is and will show you with more confidence than he would let on. Steve, (oh!) how I love that boy!" — KC Green, author of Gunshow
"Cat Rackham makes me feel new feelings, stuff I haven't felt before. If you're interested in feeling sad, but also feeling happy and laughing at the same time, I think this may be the precise collection of comics you've been searching for." — Ryan North, author of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
Koyama Press is releasing a gorgeous book of my Cat Rackham comics this September. It will premiere at Small Press Expo and is already on the shelf in some bookstores. You can find out more information about the book and how to purchase it here.
The Collected Cat Rackham retails for $19.95 and is also available from Amazon, if you can't find it at your local comic shop.
I was interviewed on the most recent Inkstuds podcast. Listen to hear me talk about working on Adventure Time, Cat Rackham, upcoming squirrels projects, and a lot about going to therapy.
I'm a guest at TAAFI, the Toronto Animation Arts Festival International, this weekend! If you're in Toronto and it's June 13-16, you can come see me do presentations on Adventure Time storyboarding and making comics. Here's the TAAFI site for more info.
Hey, it's a new website for my stuff. I lost access to catrackham.com and stevewolfhard.com, but circlesquirrel.com is here to stay.
I'm using a makeshift web builder for this with the hope of switching over to something that's more tailored later. Images max out at 1500 pixels. Sometimes if you open an image in a new tab, you can look at it a little bigger than how it appears on the main page.
