My name is Shaun Damon | NOMADS, I fostered TWENTY LOTUS STUDIOS as an outlet to satisfy my creative consciousness.

I am a creator. I was born a creator, this is my power. For as long as I can remember, my mind has always been able to transform the visions I witness through my eyes into extraordinary and beautiful conceptions. I see the most beautiful things behind my eyes. I witness the most magnificent things through my dreams and imaginations, they transform into some of the most beautiful visions, visions of possibility and wonder.

No one person was meant to witness all of this beauty.

I became an artist out of shame. Shame that I was granted this power to create the most amazing visions and enchantment behind my own eyes.

I became an artist out of guilt. Guilt that I have spent so much of my existence creating absolute beauty, that I had been so reluctant to share with anyone.

I see the way the world could be. During adolescence, I occasionally wondered if anyone else could comprehend what I saw. What I was quick to realize, was that I was all alone in this outrageous sanctuary I created.

Although, everyone is creative. Not everyone is a creator.

I am an artist with a commitment to bestow my creations to this existence. Guided by my illusions, fueled by my power to create. I know I have a mission here.

Haunted by imagination, tormented by visions.

My duty is to transcribe these visions and expressions exactly the way I view and experience them. By doing so, I hope to give an opportunity to others to determine the answers of their existence on their own.

This is not about me, it is about fulfilling a purpose. When the visions stop, my mind will be free, and so will end my stewardship of this garden. It will all be yours by then.

For there is no such thing as an infinite garden for one.

BE THE THORN

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.
