Listen up you doodlers and graphic artists, you photogs and knitters, you sculptors and puppeteers, Random House has just launched an unbelievable art competition for fans of WOOL. The gig is simple: You create something artistic inspired by the series, and they hand one lucky winner an iPad. AN iPAD!!

Good gracious, it gets even better. The winning entry will also be featured inside my next book, SHIFT, which will be released by Random House UK in the Spring. So you’ll be sitting there with your new iPad and be famous, too.

WOOL seems to attract the most talented of readers, so I can’t see what you all come up with. They’re allowing any medium, so if you enter something irreproducible and it wins, a picture of your piece will go in the book. Random House wants this to be open to as many artists as possible.

Best of Luck!
