Fab Freebie: Bird Play

***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.

Modern Bird First Image

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.

Modern Bird Pair Images

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.

Modern Bird Blue

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.

Modern Bird Butterfly

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…

See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Modern Bird Studios.

    I would be a parakeet. My dad never allowed us to have a dog growing up, but we had a parakeet. He was the sweetest thing! So friendly and happy. He made the house feel alive.

    BIRD ME!!

    I’m SO glad you added BIG BIRD! I’d have to go with him. Because I’ve been 5’11” since the 6th grade, that’s was my nickname all throughout middle school & high school. It kind of grew on me (not that I would want to be called that now). Plus, he gets to be friends with Snuffalupagus & have that rockin’ giant nest!

    Many blessings,
    Allison
