Tropical Portal

As the motion-graphics studio founded by Ron, The Tropical Portal focuses on creating cinematic visuals for concerts and live events. Each project transforms sound into motion—turning stages into portals of color, light, and emotion.

Streetoon

Streetoon is Ron’s art movement and brand—a collision of graffiti, cartoons, and augmented reality that extends his storytelling into the streets. At its core stands Mr. Bones, a character that reminds us that we’re all the same underneath—bones have no color.
Through installations like “Smile to Camera,” AR stickers, and 3D-printed sculptures, Streetoon transforms public spaces into interactive experiences that invite people to pause, smile, and connect.
