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.

    Chickadee, for sure. They are fun, beautiful, and playful. Plus, it’s what my mom calls me.

    I think I would like to be a swan. Beautiful, calm, serene, and mate for life. ^_~

    Plus I like the idea of just floating around on a lake all day.

    I would be an oriole.. I’ve become smitten with them after seeing a few at my parents lake place this summer. My dad always cuts an orange in half and nails it to a tree for them to perch and snack.. it’s so fun to watch for them!

    Plus, this art is fantastic and so different – I would love to have one of our wedding pictures done and put in our bedroom!

    I mean ideally I’d be a peacock because they’re beautiful, but in reality I’d probably be a Flamingo because they’re flamboyant and a little awkward.

    BIRD ME:
    Although I’d love to say that I was something productive and beautiful like a humming bird, I’m afraid my dear husband would argue that this morning, I was the kind of bird flipped to you on the highway in the heat of some serious road rage. A nice little present like THIS might make up for THAT! Fingers Crossed!
