Sven van der Hart made his first comic, 'De Bielders', about a hockey team, when he was eleven years old. He studied at the Graphic School in Eindhoven, but left after a year. He moved to Groningen in 1990, where he took up his comic career again for the schoolpaper. He founded the now well-known small-press magazine De Stripper, where he could present his own comics, but mostly meet fellow artists. Since then, his talents were noticed by magazines like Foto+Doka, Tina and Taptoe. In 1999, he finished his first, and probably only comic book of more then nine A4 pages, 'Stoomdroom', which has been awarded the Strip2000 Prize. In 2000 he moved to Ireland where he worked at Apple as a video-editing specialist. Since 2002 he lives in Copenhagen, Denmark, and switched from making comics to making film and occasionally drawing stamps.
