***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Who’s ready to win some art? If I were a motivational speaker this is where I would say “I can’t heeeaaaar yoooou!” and wait for you to respond even louder to my question. But I’m not going to do that. And regardless of how much volume you put behind your response (in all honestly, I’m kinda hoping you just answered it quietly in your head) we’re very excited to bring you this week’s giveaway from Modern Bird Studios.
As you can tell from the image above, Gregg Deal – the artist behind Modern Bird – takes any photo you provide him and turns it into a hand-painted piece of modern art on a thick oak canvas. In many ways it’s our favorite type of wall decor: personal and attractive.
The subtle abstraction of your image, paired with two punchy colors and a solid wooden base make for an interesting and meaningful conversation piece for you walls, mantle, bookshelf or table.
Plus it’s a great way to do something different with that wedding portrait, baby picture, travel photo or pet snapshot that you love. Just pick a couple of colors from Modern Bird’s color chart that coordinate with the tones in your house (or complement them for interest and fun) and suddenly you’ll have a piece that looks right at home in your home. And we love the hint of wood grain that comes through for that truly authentic vibe.
So here at the deets on how to enter this week (plus stay tuned for a discount on Thursday):
- PRIZE: One 12″ x 24″ customized art piece from Modern Bird Studios
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BIRD ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … I know this sounds weird, but if you could be any bird what kind would you choose? Perhaps a flamingo or a toucan so you can hang out somewhere tropical? A hummingbird because you like being small but stealth? Or perhaps a character like Big Bird is more your style because you’d hate to lose the ability to talk and interact with humans?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, August 25th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 48 Continental United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck…

Amy says
I think I’d be a raven. They are so social – I would love to know what they are talking about all the time. A penguin would be cool too. Thanks!
Sarah K says
BIRD ME! I’d be a pelican so I could live on the beautiful island of Sanibel, FL!

Lindsey says
Bird me! I’ve heard that cardinals are signs of good things to come… sign me up!

Bird me! I would be a cardinal. They’re my mom’s favorite birds and whenever we see one we always say that Dad sent it from heaven.
McCaulie says

JennyR says
Bird Me – Parrot. Crackers aren’t so bad.

Kathie says
Bird Me:)
I think I would like to be an eagle. or a seagull.
Elizabeth says
Bird me! I think I’d like to be a goose. Does that count? I feel like they can get away with anything: graceful and beautiful if they want, but also loud and snippy and mean if they feel like it. :)
Kate says
BIRD ME!
A seagull please! :)
Danielle says
Bird me (please) – a cute snowy owl.

I think an owl because they are nocturnal (like I would like to be) and very smart. And have beautiful big eyes!
Stephanie says
BIRD ME! I would be a blue heron – such an elegant, majestic bird!

I guess I’d like to be a robin b/c I like the color of their eggs. ;)

Laura V says
Bird Me! I’d like to be a penguin because they always look like they’re having so much fun!
Mel V. says
Bird Me!
I’ve always liked the Firebird. Death and rebirth cycles appeal to me, as does the demi-god status.
Modern Bird is very cool. I’ll have to keep them in mind that once-in-a-lifetime photo comes along. Actually, I have a couple of wedding photos that would look great in their style… Hm. Maybe I need to DIY something similar. :-)

BIRD ME. I would be a cardinal because they seem confident with all that red.

Melissa says
BIRD ME! I would be a pelican.

BIRD ME! I like something simple like a blue jay. I just want to perch on a fence and watch the world go round.
Rachel says
Bird me!!! I suppose I would like to be a parrot. One that lives in a forest though.

BIRD ME!
I would be a Pheonix. I figured if Big Bird was an acceptable response, a pheonix would certainly be allowed.
kristin says
BIRD ME! I think I would be a peacock!
Sarah says
BIRD ME!
(which used to be my maiden name…even better!)
I would definitely be a red-wing blackbird – I see tons of these beauties when we go kayaking and absolutely love them. Plus Blackbird is a super Beatles song. :)
Kim says
BIRD ME!
I’m thinking I wouldn’t mind being the bird that was on Fred Penner’s Place show from when I was younger. It always carried the word of the day :)
cassie says
Bird Me!

julianne7 says
BIRD ME! Have to go with the peacock… I am obsessed with those feathers!
Becky says
Bird Me!
I would be a pelican because they fly in slow motion and are so graceful. I love seeing flocks of pelicans way up in the sky, they seem to be defying physics with their speed and circles and beautiful lines.
Emily Jacobs says
Bird Me!
I’d be a Cardinal . . . my family actually has this strange theory that our grandmother and grandfather are reincarnated as Cardinals – visiting and keeping an eye on family members. We all have strange stories about pivotal moments in our lives when we see Cardinals. Spooky and weird, but kind of sweet and comforting.
Maggie Lillis says
Bird me.
If I could be any bird, I’d be Larry Bird. I mean, just look at that wingspan!
Tracy says
BIRD ME! I’d be a dove and spread peace all over. Cheesy, I know.
KimW says
BIRD ME! I would be a duck–or some other similar aquatic bird. Then I could fly or swim or even walk (or at least sort of waddle).
