David the Moover--The Un-Official Sock Puppet Mascot of the 2010 Winter Olympics

Picture
CBC Radio held a contest to find the Un-official Sock Puppet Mascot for the Vancouver Winter Olympics.  I learned about it on the evening news.  We were out driving the next day, so I designed him then.  I made him the next day, and mailed him off to the contest the day after that.  A few days later, I went to visit my folks.  I was very surprised to get an email telling me I had won!.  They wanted to give me tickets to the opening of Women's skating...2 days later.  I had just started a 2 week trip, so I asked they donate them.  They gave the tickets to a women's group who gave them to single moms.  SO that was cool.  I received a fab prize pack including a set of the Official Olympic Mascots, which is more up my alley anyway.
