Call me crazy, but I have long wanted a painting of my furbabies Bax and Ollie. Not like a realistic oil painting of them posed and dressed as Sherlock Holmes and Watson or anything- but a funky, fun piece of art that represents my silly love bugs who bring me more joy than I can even put into words. No one is ever as happy to see me when I walk in the door than those two, and their funny antics, unconditional love and snuggles have gotten me through many a tough moment. In my opinion, owning a dog is one of the best parts of life. So when Modern Bird Studios contacted me about doing a giveaway and offering to create a super cool painting of any photograph I wanted, I knew it was time to turn my smelly little fellas into art!
Greg and Megan take a photo and using a combination of digital process and hand painting they produce a funky two color modern work of art on oak composite. Check out my own masterpiece!
The picture:
The result:
I have yet to decide where to hang it, probably in the studio, but I LOVE it! I think this style of work would be fabulous in a nursery, family room or kids bedroom! It doesn’t even have to be a picture of people- it would be awesome to do them of your children’s favorite toys, or your husband’s favorite car!Check out these other pieces they’ve done:
Modern Bird is letting me give away a custom 12″ x 12″ piece (worth $215) to one of you! Leave a comment below and I’ll announce the giveaway next week on Thursday! In the meantime find them on Facebook and Twitter!

I think i need one of these to capture the face my little bulldog lucy makes when she is looking at you
this would be so cute with a pic of my son and our pups!
my two labs are away on a year long vacation with my son’s dad while i rent a no big dogs allowed house in the city. a picture of them would be the next best thing to having them back.
Such a cool piece! Love it!
I’ve been trying to find something for months that would be really unique and cool for my three sons potrait. This would be so awesome! Love it!
I want one!!! :-)
They are beautiful pieces! I would love to get one done of my son!
I think this art is simply beautiful in its essence and i would love to have one of my favorite photos turned into one of the gorgeous art pieces. TY for sharing @modernbird
I love these, they are great!
Yummy! This would so complement the black & white photo turned canvas art (still photo – not painting) of my cherished cherub at 6 months old. I’m imagining a small collection of ‘artistic’ portraits of her as she grows. Magic little being that she is – perhaps I will be the chosen one for this generous prize! (as my mil says, ‘fingers and eyes crossed’).
Love ‘em! Pick me, pick me!
Oh those just look fantastic!
I love it!! Would love to have one made of my sweet puppy Lucy.
Would love to have a great work of art like this in my home!
Love these paintings!! Kids? Dogs? Husband? They are all cute!! Would love one!
I would love one of my kids!!!
Fabulous, I would love one of my little Bear!
One of these would look awesome in my new house!
love!
Fabulous and fun!
Oh pick me! My lovely hubby and amazing dog Nino would look amazing and would be a great surprise!
Love the dog print!
I would love to get this give-away and I would put a picture of my husband and I at his friend’s wedding. It captured that special time when we were starting to fall in love! He would be so excited to have this moment created into art work!
Love these!
This would be such a neat piece of art to add to my house. Love it!
that is such cool artwork! love it.
Would love to have a picture of my two pups!
What a great idea!!!! Love it!
LOVE THIS.
Adorable!!
So cute! I’d love to have a picture of my kitty done. :)
I love the ones of your dogs…precious!
Pick me please!
Ooh!!! Me please! I’d love to get one of these for my husband of him and our ten month old!! Thanks soooo much!!!!
I am a lover of fashion, design and my rescue pups! I have been looking for a way to incorporate them into my house in a non cheesy or bizarre way. Thanks for finding it!
Love this giveaway and would so love one of our sweet pup Abbie!
So cool. Would love this for our master bedroom.
In a world of photoshop, photo books, photos on phones, we have almost become desensitized to images- they’re everywhere! Your artwork made me stop and appreciate the power of an intimate moment captured. Their texture and graphic imperfection reminds me of antique photos. So cool…
Ohh. I love this stuff! I’m coming off a Modern Bird hiatus…haven’t entered to win in a couple months ;) I want, want, want a pieces done of my son. Fingers crossed…
This is so amazing and would make a great conversation starter!!
These are so adorable! I want all of them!! Please pick me :)
Wow those are amazing pieces! And with almost 600 comments I can tell I’m not alone. Fingers crossed!
Love these prints, so clearly reminiscent of today’s street art movement led by Banksy and his contemporaries.
If I don’t win – maybe I’ll try my hand at a lesser, home-made version. :)
They look amazing. I’ve got a perfect place for one.
Those images are fabulous Erin! Such a great eye!! I will have to check out… a image of our black lab Callie might be PERFECT in the baby’s room (arriving this Nov.!!!!!!)
xx
Sooo cute. :)
Oh how I love the birds, modern!!! Mine-mine mine-mine!!!
Modern Bird is so creative! What a brilliant way to display an image. I would have one made up of my cat Frenchy, who just had surgery (successful, phew) for a hernia. I know what you mean about having your pets bring joy to your life. I’m so grateful to have my kitties.
i would LOVE one of my “furbaby”-an 80 lb labrador!
