Kristen Rask from Shmancy just emailed me my Winter Olympic Games category! I present thee: Opening Ceremonies!

Oh Lord. I have no idea how this is going to come together.  I did some research and found out that there will be some emphasis on Canadian aboriginals-indigenous and traditional cultures. Hm. I have a lot of thinking to do. I was thinking I would come up with some sketched concepts by now, but I have been avoiding the whole thing.

Mascots for the Winter Olympics include:

  • Miga — A mythical sea bear, part orca and part kermode bear.
  • Quatchi — A sasquatch.
  • Sumi — An animal guardian spirit who wears the hat of the orca whale, flies with the wings of the mighty Thunderbird and runs on the strong furry legs of the black bear.
  • Mukmuk — A Vancouver Island marmot

COOL.

Well, I’m going to the drawing board to sketch and come up with some concepts. I’ll be back!
