***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…

Sarah says
BIRD ME!!! I would be a toucan, because I love the Carribean, and Fruit Loops :-)
Tiana says
BIRD ME! I want to be an Ibis because they are associated with the Egyptian God, Thoth, who became heavily associated with the arbitration of godly disputes, the arts of magic, the system of writing, the development of science, and the judgment of the dead.

Bird Me!!
I’d definitely be a hummingbird because they’re so little and fast. Plus, they drink sugar water all day! :-)
Elizabeth says
BIRD ME!
I’d be an ostrich :)
Kim says
BIRD ME!
I would be a penguin: One of our first conversations when my husband and I started dating was about how we both wanted a penguin to live in our bathtubs when we were little (crazy coincidence huh?!?!). On the sonogram for our twin girls, years later, we always thought they looked like little penguins swimming around :)
Linda R. says
BIRD ME! I’d be a bald eagle…protected and honored, and soaring high!

Peacock

I would have to be a penguin. I <3 them because they wait until they find their soul mate & then mate with that same penguin forever. So sweet =)
JR says
BIRD ME.

Hmmm, maybe a flamingo, but I can’t say for sure. What I do know is that I LOVE Modern Bird’s stuff:-)
Patty says
Bird Me!
I’d be a robin…they are an underestimated bird!
Scott says
Bird Me!
A robin – they are always good in all the make believe stories.
allie says
BIRD ME!
I would want to be a bird that hangs out by the beach, but not a seagull because they can be pesty. I don’t want to be pesty ; )
Ashley says
BIRD ME!
I’d be any kind of bird that flies south for the winter! :)

BIRD ME
I’ll say blue bird just b/c I like blue :-)

I would be a cardinal. They’re pretty with a little bit of attitude!
Nicole Cottrell says
BIRD ME BABY!
I’d choose a Dodo Bird because they are tragically no longer with us…but man were they ugly.
Thanks for the giveaway!
JordanK says
BIRD ME! I suppose the only type of bird that doesn’t totally freak me out is a penguin. All other ones are so spazzy and flitty! haha
Wendy G says
BIRD ME!
This will sound crazy because so many people hate them, but I would be a seagull. I grew up across the street from the Atlantic Ocean but have been living in Missouri for the last 15 years. So I’d be a seagull and return to my home by the water (and stealing french fries from tourists on the boardwalk….).
rhianna says
BIRD ME!!! a peacock
Anna See says
Bird Me!
I think I would be a duck.
Bet says
Bird me!
I’d like to be an eagle because I love heights and views from up high.

Bird ME
I think a Pelican – lots of cruising the CA coast – sounds ideal to me.
Aly says
BIRD ME!!! I would choose to be a seagull because I LOVE LOVE LOVE the beach!
Emily says
BIRD ME
I am super afraid of birds – those sharp, pecky beaks and those spooky beady eyes….blecht!!! So I would have to choose to be something that isn’t extremely bird-y, for a bird. Maybe, a penguin? Or a bird with a nice, safe, foam beak, like Big Bird!
Sarah says
BIRD ME! An Oriole…why it’s Baltimore hon! :-)
stephanie says
BIRD ME!!!
I would be a lovebird because I always need to be around my other half.
Cassidy says
BIRD ME
I would be a quetzal. I love their tails, and when I was little I used to love looking at them in this book I had of exotic animals.
