Hello! And welcome to the online throne of Rán Flygenring, artist and illustrator from Iceland.
Once described as 50% viking, 50% bureaucrat, she now prefers flâneur.
Her name rhymes with brown and is borrowed from the goddess of the sea in Norse mythology. In daily spoken Icelandic it is more commonly used for robbery.
Rán has degrees and awards and what not, mostly for drawing stories, pictures and letters.

Awards & Press
Rán has received numerous prestigious awards and nominations for her work.
If you want hard facts, have a look at her CV.
Need press photos? Find them here.
If you happen to be a slow-reader, have attention span close to zero (well done getting this far) or you just don’t care a cucumber, I recommend dropping the résumé and rather check out the Grand Puffin Hotel short film info-mercial. There is more to puffins than you might think.
Contact
Want to get in touch with Rán?
It’s best to write an old fashioned
email to mail@ranflygenring.com.
She will reply, eventually.
Work Samples
That was a lot,
but still not half of it.
Want more? Look me up in your local search engine. I can also be found on social media, in the pool or flâneuring around the streets of Reykjavik.
