Steven Dhondt, who uses the pseudonym Stedho, grew up in Huise, Belgium. When he was nine years old, his teacher Marc de Bel noticed his drawing talents and encouraged him to develop it in a number of children’s books and comics they did together. Steven Dhondt went on to study architecture at the University of Gent, after which he quickly returned to creating books and comics again. One of his comics, "Ooievarken," is published by Oogachtend. see Stedho at work on www.stedho.be, and follow his blog at stedho.blogspot.com
