Available to hire
Hi, I’m Ronald Grandpey, a freelance 2D animator, director, comics author and illustrator. Since the early 2000s I’ve published with recognized publishers and produced award-winning music videos for labels in France and the United States, along with illustrations for institutional clients.
I manage complete projects autonomously from concept to delivery, and I’m comfortable working under tight deadlines and exact briefs.
