20×200 has just released a cheery new edition from Lisa Congdon, Lovebirds, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Chronicle’s Paper Goods followers know and love Lisa – a self-taught artist and illustrator who didn’t start making art until the age of 33. Her work is vibrant, fresh, and provides a unique look into the natural world. Lisa’s created a number of beautiful paper products with Chronicle.

Lovebirds by Lisa Congdon

In celebration of the release of her 20×200 print, Chronicle and 20×200 have put together a LISA CONGDON GIVEAWAY. The package will include an 11″x14″ 20×200 print of Lovebirds, enclosed in a custom-embossed archival portfolio, a 20×200 tote bag, and Lisa’s Birch Forest Flexi Journal and brand new Forests Eco-Keepsake Notecards from Chronicle Books.

To be eligible to win, leave your comment below. We’ll announce the winner in next week’s 20×200 newsletter.

Later this week, 20×200 will be rolling out a gift guide designed by Lisa and some other treats, so make sure you’re signed up for the inside scoop.

    I love this artist’s work — and especially the Lovebirds print! It’s really adorable and makes me feel happy. The detail in the birds’ wings is gorgeous, and their eyes are so sweet and expressive. I am in the process of adopting a toddler and would be thrilled to hang in the little room I am decorating for her! ♥♥♥
