I was beyond thrilled when I found out recently that I’d won a custom piece of Modern Bird Studios art through a blog contest. Their work is just stunning, and I couldn’t wait to see how they’d translate a photo of Small Fry on the beach.

Then I got to thinking.

Since launching the “new” pretty*swell, I’m still in the mood to celebrate. (For reals, I haven’t come down off my little cloud yet). And what better way to do it than to offer this fabulous prize to my fabulous readers?

Crazy? Maybe.

But y’all are worth it!

Sooooo you guys, through this giveaway Modern Bird Studios is offering one lucky reader a custom 12” x 12” piece. That’s a $215 value!

Greg, the artist, says on their website:

“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. We take your photograph, and break it down into a two-color image, which results in abstract shapes that make up the form. We then choose two contrasting colors to create the painting. The result is a marriage between technology and traditional painting to create a totally hip urban-style art piece that enriches your home.”

Just look at what they can do!

For Jill from Scary Mommy, Modern Bird turned this:
