ABOUT

IN A NUTSHELL

Disgruntled Media is an alternative form of art, music and stories to the bland efforts by DEI, Woke, SJW initiatives that censor creators and their content. It is the home of "everything" regarding my creative works as composer, artist, and writer “D4Disgruntled”.

Conversely, Disgruntled Media will act as my own publishing company, run by me, under which I can produce, distribute, and sell all my own publications, art, and music albums. Since I am unable to get signed or hired within the creative industries, I am left to do it alone and on my own and bypass the industry gatekeepers. Hopefully in the future I can expand to including representing other creatives under this company.

OH! And all the stuff is conceived by, produced by and executed by a human, which is me – D4Disgruntled. No AI (Artificial Ignorance) was used to hurt the making of my work. However, while I come from the traditional world of tangible tools to create artistic stuff, I have embraced the use of computer software and other digital tools to create my works.

WHY I STARTED THIS COMPANY

If you like satire, parody, absurdity, editorial commentary, dark comedy, horror, science fiction and fantasy, then my work will be up your alley. My work is aimed at readers, film score fans and art aficionados who seek escapism from the insanities of modern life.

If you don't fit this demographic, no worries, I welcome everyone from everywhere to come peek inside my world. Sometimes there are the outliers (people least expected to like my work) that eventually become a fan over time. If you like what you see, read and hear, great, if not, great as well. I look forward to everyone's impressions and opinions.

MY AUDIENCE DEMOGRAPHIC

For far too long my efforts have been spent bringing other people’s ideas to fruition instead of my own. My voice was lost, and I fell into the “creative sea of sameness”. Many great ideas have been set aside by clients in favor of subpar iterations which only highlighted my weaker efforts which made for a portfolio full of crappy work. I needed to change things up.

I needed my artwork to become something more meaningful and thought provoking as well as coming from me and reveal things about me. I also wanted my work to show the world in a different context in order to get people to see it in a different way. The end result is to get people to start talking again and get out of their echo chambers.

MY GOAL

In the future, I want to open up the opportunity for fans to have input on future creations where they come up with the concept and I execute it and both are credited and profit accordingly. Doing interviews with other creators is number one on my bucket list as well. It is important to connect with and get to know creators of all levels. Also, I want to have live sessions, whether virtually or in-person (like a Q& A), where fans and colleagues can come together and get to see other sides of each other in a different context. Hopefully, I will become not just a favored content creator for many to flock to, but a resource as well.
