Floor de Goede

Floor de Goede (b. 1980) is well known as the cartoonist Flo. In 2003 he launched a daily autobiographical cartoon at doyouknowflo.nl, of which a paper version has been published. Flo, the Everyday Anxieties appeared in 2005 and was awarded the VPRO Debut Prize. He has been an illustrator of children’s books since 2008, when he made his first collection of comic-strip poems with Edward van de Vendel: Opa laat zijn tenen zien. They have collaborated on fourteen projects so far: from the cheerful series about Sofie and her animal friends to the highly acclaimed title Gloei, for which Floor made portraits of the 21 young adults who were interviewed.
