***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…

Bird me! I would be a bluebird…not sure why…just the first thing that popped into my head.

BIRD ME! I’d like to be a robin because they’re beautiful.

BIRD ME.
I’d be a hummingbird, mostly because their iridescent feathers fascinate me. And, their wings beat so fast you can hardly see them. I spotted one last week on my walk home from work and had to stop and watch it go about its stealthy, speedy business.

Bird me….I would be a cardinal because i love how pretty they are against the white snow in the yard.

Bird Me! I think I’d be a peacock. They are so beautiful, and they are surprising – they walk around rather unassuming and then POW they put up their feathers and look amazing.
caree says
Bird Me! I’d be a red-winged blackbird, as despite being a Biologist AND having taken Ornithology, it’s the only non-common bird call (loon, seagull) that I can actually identify. To me it sounds like a rusty screen door opening.

I’ve yet to seen an Eagle fly, so why not just become one?

Bird me!!!
I think I’d like to be a flamingo. I love how the bright color and the fact that they never seem to be in a rush to get anywhere. I’d like life to slow down a bit.

Laurel says
BIRD ME.
Life is about beauty and inspiration. When I look at a swan, I can’t help but stop and admire in awe. Their grace seems to suspend time. I would want to join them to create such peace for other people.
Marci in Miami says
BIRD ME! I’d say an eagle.
Jen M says
BIRD ME! I’d have to go with peacock as well – I’ve always been mesmerized by them!
Letty says
BIRD ME!
I’d be a puffin! They can fly AND swim– I’m talking full out underwater swimming, not just on the surface. Best of both worlds– score! And it doesn’t hurt that they are adorable.
I think this would be a great gift for my parents– here’s hoping!
Sarah Beth Eady says
“BIRD ME” Hmmm well my immidate thought is Crow bc that use to be my last name but I don’t have any good reasoning behind that so I would pick the seagull in The Little Mermaid bc he use to crack me up!
