David Badurina is a multidisciplinary storyteller and creative director who builds worlds across books, music, and AI-driven visual media. With more than 25 years of self-built entrepreneurship—both digital and brick-and-mortar—he champions a fiercely anti-gatekeeping approach to creativity. His work blends cinematic narrative, grounded emotional truth, and practical workflows that empower independent creators to make the things they want without permission.
A Gen-X child of ‘80s sci-fi and fantasy, David brings flawed heroes, laugh-out-loud humor, and heart to everything from bestselling absurdist space opera (SPACE PEW PEW) to cyberpunk noir albums and visuals (Alyte universe). Father, business owner, 4th degree black belt, and occasional menace—he lives in New Hampshire with his partner, a menagerie of pets, and a jar of Nutella. Here on Quill It With Fire, you’ll find honest long-form on craft, grief, resilience, AI’s role in art, anti-authority rants, and the raw process behind multi-format worlds.
