My name is Damon Sprouse. I grew up and attended school in Decatur, Georgia. I began playing football in middle school and continued through college, ultimately joining the University of Kentucky Wildcats. Although football was a significant part of my journey, it was never my true passion.
Art has been at the core of who I am since childhood — I’ve been drawing since the age of seven. At 24, I realized that art was not just something I enjoyed, but the very purpose I was meant to fulfill. Creating became my language — a way to express my truth, explore my imagination, and connect with the world around me.
Around 2018 I was admitted to the mental hospital after an episode I’d rather not mention. I lost touch with reality for a while. I felt like I had nothing else to live for. Thanks to God, my loving family was able to rescue me in this situation with the help of a close friend on mine. After leaving the mental hospital, I was unemployed for roughly 1 year. I was afraid to live and afraid to be seen. My mind had been too much for me to cope with. This is still something I struggle with today but I continue pushing because I decided one day that I no longer believe the doctors and I am the one who decides whether or not I’m okay. While my mind interferes with my interactions with others, I’m still able to show people love through my art; Completely uninterrupted.
Today, I pour my experiences, influences, and personal evolution into every piece I produce. There was a time when I felt empty and disconnected, but I made a decision that changed everything: Win, lose, or draw, I am an artist — and I will follow my calling for life. In the aftermath of that decision, I stand confident, grounded, and fully alive. Because I do indeed, have something to live for.
Before you go, ask yourself this:
What purpose is served by he who lives, but is not alive?
