Back by popular demand, Toronto artist Sarah Lazarovic will be live sketching the Opening Ceremonies of the Sochi Games.

(Full disclosure: She didn’t quite make it to Sochi. But she’ll be sketching from the heart of some Olympic-related action.)

Keep watch on this page later this morning as her sketchbook grows.

And away we go.

I am also generally fearful of restaurants with more than 74 televisions.

It’s expensive to get to Sochi.

Sadly, Putin is wearing a shirt. Double sadly, the Olympics special menu is not available.

Kinda reminds me of Canada’s cowichan sweater. V cute!

Olympics guilt, but honestly one should ALWAYS order chicken fingers.

I like the toggles but the black band at the bottom is too busy. Go Canada!

Are they supposed to be Popples?

Slovakia has the best hats and scarves!

Psst...Putin, I think the bunny rabbit is gay.

I figured there’d be some sort of Russian Constructivist portion of the show so i brought supplies. Collage break!

Called it.

Does my love for Swan Lake override my distaste for these games? Not sure.

Interest flagging. Is it a bad idea to order a coffee at a sports bar?

ANTHEMS.

Last topless Putin, I promise.

Couldn’t resist

Sorry to have dragged you into this mess, all
