Modern Bird Studios! Look What Arrived At Our House...
Do you recall Max as French Fred? This is one of my absolute favorite photos! Then it got even better, when a hand painted portrait was created from the photo by Modern Bird Studios. Look what just arrived last week...Max is thrilled and proud, telling me exactly where to hang the portrait in his room. I'll post those photos later this week.
And now, how would you like to have the chance to win a $250 gift certificate and see your favorite photo turned into a beautiful piece of art? Well, that is the Giveaway I'm hosting today!
Modern Bird Studios creates personalized, modern art from your photographs. Each work is a one-of-a-kind, original studio piece created with a combination of digital, hand, and painting processes on an Oak composite.

I have a photo of my son and daughter on the beach in San Francisco that I could happily have mural sized. I love it that much! It would look awesome as a Modern Bird Original.
I would love to transform a photo of my boys standing on dad's boat!!
Phenomenal giveaway! My favorite is a small photo (3"x3") that I've tried to have blown up several times to no avail. It's from behind of my father reaching down for my 2 yr old's hand as they walk towards a large pond with geese. I'm sure Modern Bird would rock it!
so cute!! definitely some sort of beach pic of the kids!
French Fred looks spectacular!!
I think I might do a picture of my cats. Just the other day, I captured them sleeping together, spooning!
French Fred looks awesome! I really like that phot of Max and the Modern Bird treatment really works.
The treatments really bring an interesting quality to the originals and the modtots art really makes you smile. I think you will get a lot of people in on this giveaway!
what a great giveaway!! i would love to use this for one of my wedding pictures :)
Such a great give away ! So personal and special.
Your picture of your son is a real treasure! This is such a great giveaway. I think I would pick a photo of my children also.
I love it! I would use a photo of our boys together on the tire swing when they were little. Great giveaway!
I would have the picture of me and my son looking into each others eyes for the first time on the day he was born in the hospital! It's such a peaceful picture!
I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old that would be great on these!! Either that or I would do a family picture.
Wow! That turned out great!
I've been trying to think of a creative and meaningful wedding gift for my brother-in-law. What a great idea! I'd love to have a photo of the two of them made into a piece that they can treasure forever. I'm definitely looking into ModernBirdStudios. Thanks.
My very favorite photo is of me and my little boy cuddling . . . I would LOVE to have that photo transformed! What a wonderful giveaway . . . I have my fingers crossed!

Oh, I would love this...I just got a big canvas wrapped photo of my kids from "Canvas on Demand" and it is so great, but I would really love to have a photo turned into real art. That would be amazing
Pet or children? That is the question. Beautiful works of art!

I have two little boys, so I don't know which photo I would choose, but I would love one of these custom paintings in my home! Thanks for a chance to win!
These are so unique. I would have to say I would transform a picture of my daughter, Stella, probably a head shot, because I like the look of one big focal point in the portrait.
I just love Modern Bird! My favorite picture is of my son (at 7 months) eating a Watermelon on Labor Day ... I would definitely choose that one!

Good morning Janell,
Stopping by to see what you are up to (I have been sick like a dog) and of course something fun is always happening over in your corner!
How fun would that be to have a picture of my 3 kids turned into an artistic master piece! (It will look better than the original photo since I am not all that good with my camera).
What a generous giveaway.
Happy new week to you.

I have a picture of my kids together when they were smaller, walking hand in hand I'd love to have made into a modern bird piece. Thanks for the great giveaway!
justaduck at gmail.com
These are wonderful!!! I would say I would have a picture of my kids, but I'm currently pregnant with #3 and wouldn't want to leave he/she out, so....I would probably have a picture of our first home done. It was so special to us...=) That way we could always have a piece of it with us no matter where we live!
I'd get a picture of my two girls whispering to each other. It would be fabulous once Gregg transforms it!
I have the cutest little boy that would look amazing in a modern bird painting!!
Love modern bird studios! I'd get a photo of my 2 boys!
I would love to have a picture of my granddog, Louie, turned into rocking art!

A picture of my daughter at age 2 with my large straw sun hat on her cute little head. It's my favorite picture ever!
I'm voting for the Modtots panda. Those animal designs are almost too good for the kiddies.
I would have a photo done of my 2 boys... would love to win this. Love MBS, so talented! :)
Thanks for the giveaway.
This is probably the 10th modern bird contest I've enteren. I would LOVE to win and get this picture done...

I would definitely use a photo of our late puppy who passed a few months ago. He was our favorite and his memory would best be captured in a hand painted image!
Max is just so cute! Have you seen the one they designed with Lady Gaga as the image? So cool!
If I won, I would definitely use the picture of my 3 boys standing in the window. I love that picture!
would get a picture of the kids done and would choose that cute little owl

i would choose my cat, wayne
Oh, this would be tough but I think I would go with a picture of my daughter in her tutu.
If I could have a picture of mine turned into a fabulous piece of art, it would be one of the photos I took while in New Orleans. I really love that city and would enjoy having a visual reminder of it hanging in my home :-)
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I would choose a head shot of me and hubby at our wedding. Love their work AND your blog!
I adore Modern Bird Studio, they do the coolest work.
Janelle I would do a 2 color of my grandaughter Isabella!

Max's photo art looks fantastic! I love seeing new talent and what creative people are doing for a living. I have a ton of photos I'd love to have transformed, but what really caught my eye was the Monsters series on the Modtots site--the quirkiness of the art made me smile from ear to ear. That would be my pick! Thanks for a great giveaway :)
love these!! I would use a fun, candid wedding picture!
These are stunning. I would love to transform a picture of me and my husband dancing (i love it).
i am moving away from my beloeved lake and dock this year...i know the exact photo that i would have modernbird'd...
thanks for the chance:)
Well...i am all about baby right now as I am a new mom! So it would probably be a picture of my son Cal at birth :)
I'd love to have a recent photo of my and my hubby transformed by Gregg and Megan!
This artwork is FANTASTIC!! I would maybe choose a picture of my husband and two children on a curb waiting patiently for me to come out of a store. Thanks for such a generous giveaway!!
I tweeted!
@laurel16
there is a picture of my partner and his parents from the 1970s that slays me every time i see it. now that his parents are moving back to taiwan, i think it would be an excellent goodbye gift for them.
My dog passed away last Saturday and I'd like to turn my favorite photo of her into a keepsake.
I would choose a photo of me and hubs kissing. I love it!
Well, a 10 month old offers so many photo opportunities- I would LOVE a painting of my favorite.
I would pick a portrait from our wedding...we don't have a single picture up of us in our house.
I tweeted it too.
Oh my goodness, what an awesome giveaway! I would love to get one of our engagement photos done in the multi-colored process, but it would be such a tough decision to choose just one! Thank you so much for the giveaway! :)

I have a picture of my 1 & 3 year old hugging, it is a very sweet and innocent picture. I would love to see it painted! I also love the giraffe on the modtots website!
I like Sage the bird.
I would love a 2 tone painting of my 3 kids or my dog to hang in our photo gallery running up our stairwell!
Great giveaway Janell!
Amazing giveaway! I would love to turn the photo I have of my three year old and my newborn into one of these paintings. They're beautiful!
Such a great giveaway! I'd definitely do a photo of my cat, Jake, who died a couple months ago. It'd be gorgeous!

There's a wedding photo of me and my husband that I just love; we're at our reception, during a quiet moment, and just beaming at each other. I love it!
What a fabulous, fun keepsake!
What a great idea! I would love a painting of one of the numerous pics I've taken of my puppy, who's six months now. She's growing so fast (already 45 pounds!) that I'd love to have something gorgeous to remind me of when she was tiny and sweet, instead of huge and naughty. :)
These are wonderful! What a beautiful spin on a photograph! I have a couple of wedding photos that I love (in theory), but they didn't quite come out the way I had hoped- they were a bit overexposed. I would love to take them and have a painting done of them!!!
Great place! Thanks for the info. I have a picture of my daughters and dog at the beach, which I would love to have for myself. However, I'm going to bookmark the site for ideas for Christmas gifts.
I know I"m a bad mom but I think I would have to go for a picture of my 14 year old dog. I've been wanting to find someone to paint her portrait.
I love these photos! I would have a hard time choosing a photo to have done!
i have the perfect pic in mind for this. its from when my daughter was born. Me & my husband are doting on her & my son is in the background.
Oh, my. This is such a treasure-- I love their work! I have a picture of my boys-- aged 1 and 3-- in the cutest handknit hats, with the big one kissing the little one's head-- they are in silhouette against an open door,a nd it's one of my favorite pictures, ever. I do so hope I win!
Love Modern Bird Studio! I would love to turn a photo of our dog as a puppy into original artwork. What a great giveaway!!
These are awesome! I think I'd choose my boys at the beach.
The one of Max turned out so great!! I would totally use a picture of my husband and I, totally candid, laughing together.
The zebra print is pretty darn cute though!
I have a crazy cute photo of my kids when they were tiny together under a tiny umbrella...
I would love to see that one turned into Modern Bird Art..
and I retweeted! Congratulations on all of responses to your great giveaway!
I have a photo of my daughter and son playing together that I would love to have made into a painting!
Love that picture! I would love to have a picture of my baby smiling. I can never get enough of her little smile. I tweeted to my followers. Follow us @TeamTuite!
An engagement photo of me and my husband standing over our images reflected in the water.
Great Giveaway! I would choose the Giraffe Print from Modtots! So cute!
I have a photo from when my baby was 4 months old that I LOVE... or a more recent one... OR I'd get the Fox from Mod Tots.
So exciting I hope I win! I know exactly which photo I would use - one of my little girl on her first birthday in a ballpit.
AND: I just tweeted @thepapermama
Fun, the picture is adorable of Max! I would have a picture done of my puppy (:
The picture of Max is priceless! Such a fun photo! I love that he is telling you exactly where to hang it. He should be proud! I would love to have one done of my lovely mother that was taken on my wedding day. My mother passed away and it would be a treasure to have this done. Thank you for the opportunity, Janell on your giveaway!
I love anything to do with turning photos into something special. Thanks for the info about Modern Bird Studios! I've bookmarked this post for my visitors. Thanks again.
I have a photo I took while abroad that I would love to have this done with. What a great idea!
I love Modern Bird Studios! The photo I'd have made into a painting is the snapshot I took of the moment when my 3 kiddos got their 1st puppy - my 4 babies!
I LOVE a photo of my boyfriend and puppy running down the beach! It makes me smile so much and it would be awesome to have it as a permanent work of art!
Love these. I think I would have them do a painting of my house for posterity. Or maybe of my cat. There are so many options. Twitter feed jessdnest tweeting about it right now!
SWEET! I'd get a wedding photo done:)
I would love to do a photo of my house... we've been best friends for 20 years!
I would love to have a picture of my husband and I going through our sword arch at our wedding turned in to a modern bird original!
I have a picture of my kids in matching sweaters with their arms around each other that would make a great piece for Modern Bird Studios.
Lovr, love, love modernbird!!! Desperately want to do one of my two little ones!!! great giveaway!!!
That pic of your son is perfect! I love non-serious photos as art! I recently made my daughter a Photo Canvas...so I think my son needs cool photo art in his room too.
Thanks for the chance, Janell!
What a lovely idea! I know just the picture I would choose...a picture I took of my daughter when she was almost 6, late one fall afternoon in a pumpkin patch. The colors and the sunlight and the ambience of it, I just love it. It is probably my most favorite picture I've ever taken.
Love this! I would get a picture of my husband in his USMC uniform done! I'm so proud of his service and he is quite dashing in it as well! :)

I love this! I think I would have a picture of Charleston we took the weekend of our wedding blown up to remind us of the fun memories that were made in that amazing place :)
I REALLY love these! Soooo cool. I have a picture of my girls at the lake that I have been saving and this could be so perfect!
I really want to give one of these to my friend who is the most generous person on earth. She has a dog that she adores, and it would be so fun to have one done of the pooch.
I am a huge fan of the house portraits. I would love to capture each house that we've had or the one that we live in right now. What a treasure.
I would have my sweet baby boy done- he's just a month old!
What a fabulous giveaway! I have never seen their work before, but I am completely smitten. I have an incredible photo of my husband face to face with a young pelican at the beach that I would love to hand over to them.
Thanks for hosting!
Oh that came out so darn cute! I would probably choose my dog Henry.
Just sent out a tweet as well-- thanks, Janell!
These are so adorable. I would use a photo of our puppy!
I loved the two color rendering! It was so graphic. As to what pic I would choose It would be the one of our whole family at the beach. We can never seem to get everyone in one photo but on this day, the stars aligned and everyone I love is in one picture.
I would do a photo of our family standing in front of a really neat old door but you can only see mine and mu husband's legs, but both of our kids are fully framed. I LOVE it. Either that or one of us all laughing together...hard to choose. What a cool medium!
Love these. I have a beautiful photo of my daughter sitting on the porch of her sorority house in a rocker. It shows pure bliss. That is the one I would use. or....a photograph of my grand-dog, a beautiful black lab.or.... a photograph of my son hitting a golf ball. How is a mother to decide!!!!!!?
There is this adorable photo of my little guy in pale blue linen overalls, no shirts and cheeks red from running. Adorable!
Wow- what a great giveaway. I like both the 2 and 3 color affect. I would choose either a pic of my children or a landscape pic of my late fathers barn where he did daily chores.
Love the colors in the tranformed pic of the dog in the grassy field.
I adore Modern Bird Studios! I would so love to have my favorite photo (the one of me kissing my daughter) transformed in this way.
Pic from last Valentine's Day of my 2 boys hugging. My very favorite!
I just tweeted about this. Thanks!
Aww, a picture of my son down in Mexico on vacation. He is smiling between my husband and I and sticking out just a tiny piece of his tongue. He is five months old in the picture.

You are so inspiring! I'm loving the chair slipcovers you are doing. I'd love to hear more about your time in the fashion industry if you are ever lacking a blog topic. As far as what I'd use for the art, a picture of my girls on the beach holding hands. It kills me every time I see that shot...
French Fred looks so cute!!
I think I would do a pic of my puppy.

I have the perfect pic of my 3 kiddos that I'd love to have 'modern birdied' (is that even a word?) oh who cares...here's hoping I win!

-{darlene}
fieldstonehilldesign.com
I have a picture of my son playing baseball that I would love created into a fantastic art piece.
I would be torn between getting a picture of my brother turned into a painting for my parents (it's a great photo of him looking out over a canyon in Wyoming) or one of the paintings for my son, perhaps the owl.
My oldest would love the zebra, or yellow robot from modtot, and I'd probably get a picture of the boys sleeping in the turquoise type of color scheme.
It would have to be a photo of my doggies!
I think I'd pick an architectural photo from our trip to Belgium.
Awesomeness! Would love to capture a photo from our trip to Coronado last year. Thanks!
