Damon, better known as Creative Lou, had been creating his whole life. However, he only stepped into being a professional artist after a long and varied career doing other things. In this episode, Damon traces his creative journey from his childhood love for cartoons and cereal boxes, through his career as a graphic designer and marketing manager, and finally into becoming a professional artist.
