Sander invited 5 men, all working at De Belastingdienst/part-time model- and still-life drawers, to draw a portrait of him while he was working out in the gym of de belastingdienst. Sander's a healthy guy, you know, and goes to the gym at least 3 times a week. He did some surfing too, but that's been a while, I don't think he digs it all too much. I'm convincing him now to go play rugby with me, but it's taking me quite some effort to talk him into this.
Anyway, the result were piles of drawings of himself, seen in the most awkward positions, since he asked the artist to not draw the machines on which he was practising his gorgeous body. Sander and Veronica made an unbound newspaper of it, containing reproductions of the drawings.

ps. I myself haven't started rugby either... I just saw a match on TV the other day, I realy got into. (BdB)
