Sochi 2014

Today marks the opening day of the 2014 Olympics! To celebrate, we are featuring some official Olympic artwork that is actually inspired by the 1980 Moscow Olympics. These figures, each representing an Olympic sport, have been reimagined for the 2014 games with bright-colored patterns.

This Ski Jumper is our favorite. Doesn't he look like he is taking off?

Here are some other cuties.

Here's to a wonderful Olympic games...let's hope for lots of Gold!
