Hello! Welcome to my online throne. I am Rán Flygenring, artist and illustrator from Iceland.

Once described as 50% viking, 50% bureaucrat, I kind of prefer flâneur.
My name rhymes with brown and is borrowed from the goddess of the sea in Norse mythology. But note that in daily spoken Icelandic it is more commonly used for robbery.

I have a few degrees and awards and what not, mostly for drawing stories, pictures and letters.
