This is the city I live in, Den Bosch. Officialy it is called 's-Hertogenbosch. We say and often write Den Bosch, but unlike 's-Gravenhage which also can be called The Hague of Den Haag, 's-Hertogenbosch may officially not been spelled as Den Bosch. Why 's-Hertogenbosch?

Ever since I was a little girl I drew more than anything else in the world. Little people, dreamfigures, plants, bushes...mostly fantasy creatures. I still prefer them :) But when I finished high school I thought art school wasn't a good fit for me, so I decided to study something else. With a long…
