Bill ( Giveawayboy) is an exceptionally talented, unique and passionate artist who dives deep immersed in a space that invites the viewer into a world of literal pathways. The atmospheric at times dark pathways are bursting with energy wrapped with mythical creatures and monsters with intriguing narratives attached, reflecting an avid reader, poetical writer and explorer within. There is a powerful deepness through his soulful free spirit interpreting the id, subconscious, alter egos, possibly people he felt closely connected to or just passers by. He also has a highly expressive and unique ability to draw out elements through his deep imaginative powers of perception and intuition, expressing diverse and multiple meanings visually with his unique style, grace and wonderful musicality. I love the loose freedom of his figures captured at times with tension and dark humour which I love bursting out at us pulsing with raw power, telling insightful and touching stories within every layer. I am constantly digging and continue to do so since discovering the raw power of the unique and powerful artist. Bill is a free spirit and kindred painter diving deep and transporting the viewer into another realm between reality and dream where we learn to look at the world with a much more deep, rich and open point of view and at the same time reinforcing the aesthetic values of art. I learn something new of the imaginative powers of Bill (Giveawayboy) each time I gaze into his beautiful powerful highly expressive paintings that remain on my retinas.

I've been fortunate to know Bill through the internet. In spite of the distance and unfamiliarity, he still comes through very kindred and insightful. I am grateful for his encouragement that started my portraiture journey. His portraits are subtle, smooth and striking all at the same time. His art is worth mulling… Read more

I've been fortunate to know Bill through the internet. In spite of the distance and unfamiliarity, he still comes through very kindred and insightful. I am grateful for his encouragement that started my portraiture journey. His portraits are subtle, smooth and striking all at the same time. His art is worth mulling over as they seem to provide glimpse to the various treasures that Bill has in his mind.

If you're determined to get to the bottom of this artist, you better set in for the long haul. It's not that he doesn't put it all out there all the time to everyone, it's just that he's drawing from a well much deeper than most of us have access to delve into. I'm constantly amazed at the magic he's conjuring. Ceasele… Read more

If you're determined to get to the bottom of this artist, you better set in for the long haul. It's not that he doesn't put it all out there all the time to everyone, it's just that he's drawing from a well much deeper than most of us have access to delve into. I'm constantly amazed at the magic he's conjuring. Ceaselessly stunned at his creative stamina. This is an artist you cannot miss. He's been my dear friend for decades, and I'm still enjoying the wonder of his person and great works.

The first time I visited giveawayboy's photostream it was like rediscovering a forgotten friend... his pictures paint so complete a landscape of his world, his art, his spirituality (not to mention his cool thrift swag!) that you can't help but to feel that you've known the man forever.

The first time I visited giveawayboy's photostream it was like rediscovering a forgotten friend... his pictures paint so complete a landscape of his world, his art, his spirituality (not to mention his cool thrift swag!) that you can't help but to feel that you've known the man forever. His photos convey such a genuine fondness for that beauty present in everyday life, a beauty that most people have long stopped bothering to even notice, that you want to come along with him on every trip to the bank or late night stroll around the neighborhood. flickrworld is made all the better for g.b's place in it!
