Rán Flygenring – Author & Illustrator

This is me, Rán.

I was born in Norway, and raised in Iceland. I mostly live in Reykjavík.

My name rhymes with brown and it is borrowed from the goddess of the sea in Norse mythology. In daily spoken Icelandic though it is more commonly used for robbery.

But I am not a thief!
I don’t steal things.
I create them.

I work as an author, artist and illustrator. I come up with shit and then I draw it.

Bi-weekly or so, I write a newsletter. I call it The Rán Flygenring Show. You can subscribe to it here.

Awards & Press

I have received numerous awards and nominations. But I don’t like to brag about it. If you demand hard facts, have a look at my CV.

Sometimes I need to send out press photos, so I’ll put them here for convenience’s sake.

And since you’re here, why not check out the Grand Puffin Hotel short film infomercial?
