Would somebody PLEASE hand us some crayons already?

Look what we just found, printed out and promptly pinned above our desks. It’s the Ryan Gosling Colouring book!

ryan gosling coloring book4 The Ryan Gosling colouring book challenge.

It’s been years since we’re pulled out the Derwent 72-colour pencil box and navigated the space between the lines but for the release of this new toy (made by Maiden in the UK, which you can buy in full here), we thought now would be the perfect time to bring our artistic talents to the world.

The problem is, none of us have any artistic talents. But we thought some of the Mamamia readers just might.

So we’ve turned Ryan Gosling into a competition! The outline of the gorgeous man is above. Your task? Print it off, colour it in and post a photo of your colouring skills work in the comments section.

The reader whose drawing has the most thumbs up by this time tomorrow wins a prize. (Which may or may not be Ryan Gosling.) Now go forth and colour.

You can make his hair blue or his eyes yellow. We don’t mind, as long as you COLOUR HIM GOOD.

Here’s one we prepared earlier:

Thanks to our MM intern Kahla. She’s created ‘Ryan at a festival’.

    love it! Great idea to run a colouring comp.
    We just published a new interview with the creative behind the Ryan Gosling colouring book on Gestalt Journal: http://www.gestaltjournal.com/?p=673
    She’s currently enjoying an enviable life binging on a delightful diet of 80′s and 90′s pop culture and coming up with ideas to scribble our nostalgia back to us… sounds like fun!
    She also makes Kate Moss and Lady Gaga paper dolls…

    Can we save paper and colour it in with Photoshop, or is this strictly old-school entries only?

    Is Mamamia turning into the new ZOO weekly FHM for women?
    Nothing against Mr Gosling but everytime I see his name on here I want to vomit. Overkill people.
    It is a creepy type of objectification of men I find rather off putting and juvenile. Much like men raving on about Megan Fox or Kim Kardashian.

      Not really. Ryan Gosling has much more than good looks, that’s why he’s so popular.
