***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…

Mark samu says
I’d like to be “Mine that Bird” the racehorse. Bird me!

Bird me. (burger me?lol.)
I’d probably a bird on a piece of Echino fabric.
Lauri says
Bird Me! hmmm. I am so not a bird person :)
Alyssa says
BIRD ME… I would be an eagle. They are completely beautiful and soar like no other.
April says
BIRD ME! I’d be a flamingo for the fun color, but I think I’d prefer something with larger wingspan and better flying ability… like an eagle.
Amy says
BIRD ME…oh, this is really hard. Birds completely oook me out. Perhaphs it was the “seagull incident” when I was little or the “peacock incident” at the zoo, regardless, I just don’t think I could pick one to be. But, I love the art, can I still play?? :)
Jessica R. says
Bird Me. I would love to be an eagle!
Jen says
BIRD ME! I don’t know what kind of bird I’d be, but I can tell you what I wouldn’t be–a pigeon. Gross. :)
HSchoegler says
BIRD ME please!
I was going to say Hummingbird because they look so calm amidst all the frenzy that is their wings. Combine that with the fact that I always see them in my favorite places…my great-grandfather’s backyard garden or my grandparent’s kitchen window that looks to the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque…. But, I’m going to say the Purple Martin. First, I love their color, and who doesn’t want to be surrounded by a great color?! And finally, I love the white, modern gourd bird houses they are attracted to. Of course they are; they’re adorable!
kristi bishop says
BIRD ME! i would be a peacock, i love all the different colors!
Keri says
BIRD ME
I would be a chickadee…they are so darn cute!!!
Ruth says
Bird me
Carolyn H. says
“BIRD ME” … Hmmm… Some days my corporate job makes me feel like a baby bird that’s fallen out of the nest.
Jill says
Love this art! I’d be a flamingo so I could tear up the dance floor…or is that flamenco??
Sandy says
BIRD ME!
That’s easy — a parrot. A talking parrot. A talking parrot who says totally random or embarassing things to people, so that they think the owner taught them those things. You know — like “Are you wearing any underpants?” or “Who cut the cheese?”
Christa M says
BIRD ME! Definitely a Love Bird
Lauren H. says
Bird Me!
I’d be a bluebird, just because they are so pretty.
Kristin says
Bird me! I’d be any one of the various birds that enjoy a free and easy meal at our bird feeder every day. :)
Mrs. VJ says
BIRD ME! Definitely a crane – elegance defined!
Linda says
Bird me! Sorry, not a bird but a dragonfly… amazing critter!
Bri says
Bird Me!
I have to admit that I’m kinda terrified of birds (have been since I was a small child) so I guess I’d have to say Big Bird.
Lori Lacina says
Bird me! I would be a cardinal…the red color is always so striking!
Ana says
BIRD ME! Puffin all the way!
Amy says
BIRD ME!!!!
I can’ decide a Peacock would be amazing. I love the colors and design in the feathers however, seeing my 1st Robin of the year always gives me hope to hold on and that Spring is almost here after the long cold winter. :-)
hannah says
Bird me! I’d be a flamingo, as a mother of 3 boys, I could use a little pink! ;)
Brittney says
BIRD ME! I would be an owl, because I’d like to be able to stay up later than 10pm on week nights.
Jackie Sabella says
BIRD ME! I would be a penguin because they live where it is cold-I love snow, and they are very family oriented. Plus, they are just so adorable :).
stephanie says
bird me! i’d be toucan sam. :)
Sue says
BIRD ME!!
I would be a peacock because it’s soo beautiful :-)
krystal k. says
bird me and i’d totally love to have a free modern art piece. they’re awesome.
Brit says
BIRD ME
I’d say a peacock, because they are so beautiful!
Mandy says
BIRD ME
I would have to go with either a hummingbird or this random bright yellow and black bird that i see flying around our neighborhood every once in a while. i think he’s so cool looking!
Shaun says
Bird Me…..I’d be an owl…because they’re wise and cool.
Kim S says
BIRD ME! I’ll say pelican…I love watching them go fishing! They dive-bomb into the ocean and come up with a whole beak-full. :o)
Kelly says
Bird me! I would be a bald eagle. They’re so stunning and indigenous to California. ;)
Sam Castro says
BIRD ME! I’d be a mockingbird… gotta love something that adaptive.
Csilla says
Bird me! A bird that lives by the sea!
darah says
Bird Me!
i think a cardinal – i love that i can always recognize their song and they’re so vibrant on a snowy day.
Caity says
BIRD ME! I’d be a chickadee just because I always love to hear them chirping “chicka dee dee dee dee”.
Cecily says
BIRD ME! Pigeon is the first thing that comes to mind. If you haven’t seen the book “Extraordinary Pigeons”, you’re missing out!
erica says
Bird Me!
A swan . . . if it’s true they mate for life! :)
Lauren says
BIRD ME!
I think I’d be a pellican. The best of both worlds!
ilka says
“BIRD ME” I think I’d be any kind of bird for a day, so that I could see what it feels like to fly.
Megan A. says
BIRD ME ! I love the beach but not sure I love the beach-birds so much – sandpiper maybe but definitely not a sea gull or pelican. So my other pick would be a blue jay – for the beauty of their blue feathers and the beautiful mountains they get to live in – latest sighting was in Yosemite last week – not a bad backyard!
Thank you.

Mina says
BIRD ME….If I could be abird I would be an owl because they are just too cute! hoo hoo!
Sarah says
BIRD ME
Perhaps, I’d fancy being a Penguin? Their colors are always in season, they are social, they thrive in water and on land, and as of late they are movie stars! They seem to be living the life ;)
Barbara says
Bird me! I’d love to be a penguin… they mate for life :)
