The Fantabulous Universe of RONY
Inspiration for a Fantabulous World!
Ronald Reichmann, an illustrator and character designer, loves to explore the universe, people, nature, culture, spirituality, and visual arts. He creates surprising and fantastical characters inspired by Doodle Art and Pattern Design. He effortlessly lets his hand wander across a blank page, drawing inspiration from a world of animals, monsters, aliens, and robots, thus solidifying his hybrid, wild, and eccentric universe.
Early Life and Career Beginnings
"I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, a beautiful country rich in artistic expressions of all kinds, where I became an industrial designer in 1993. After a few years designing point-of-sale materials for various brands, I worked as a graphic designer for Maloka, an interactive museum, where I developed scientific exhibitions."
Transition to Switzerland and New Pursuits
In 2001, Ronald moved to Switzerland, the country of his grandparents, to study web design and 3D animation. "I currently live in a lovely village in the countryside with my little family and I have goats, sheep, and cows in the nearby fields! After several years as a web designer, I felt deep inside that I needed to achieve one of my dreams: to share with the world my characters and illustrations. Thus, in 2008, I devoted myself to illustrating in a colorful cartoon style with a touch of fantasy, a pinch of twisted humor, and lots of joy!"
Artistic Philosophy and Style
"Years later, fascinated by Doodle Art and Pattern Design, I joyfully integrated them into my creations, where empty spaces are rare and eyes seem to observe everything. This allows viewers to be surprised, to explore many details, and to discover other hidden characters. It’s quite possible that two or even three characters share the same eye or hand."
"My greatest ambition? To surprise, delight, and spark the dormant artist in everyone. I want you to lose yourself in the details, discover hidden creatures, and feel the therapeutic joy of drawing from the heart — freely, fearlessly, without overthinking."
Wear RONY’s Universe
RONY’s fantabulous characters don’t just live on paper — they escape onto fabrics, wrap around shoulders, and zip up into the wild. Every garment becomes a canvas: monsters peek from sleeves, aliens sprawl across backs, robots march in formation. This is what his universe looks like when you wear it.
Custom Pattern Designs to Elevate Your Brand
"I also invite companies to collaborate — to imagine with me a vivid, rich, and colorful visual world inspired by Doodle Art, unique and personalized, repeating endlessly as a Pattern Design to captivate audiences and strengthen brand identity."
"But my ambitions go further. I am actively seeking brand partnerships, licensed merchandise collections, and long-term creative collaborations — joining forces with labels and companies who dare to think bold and wear their identity with pride. If your brand has a universe waiting to be born, I am ready to bring it to life. The question isn’t whether your brand needs a RONY universe — it’s whether you’re ready for one."
