Hi there!
It’s Raining Elephants is an illustration studio based in Lucerne. Since 2008, the two of us have been developing our own projects and commissioned work in a playful visual dialogue. Together, we create illustrated books, live visuals, and illustrations for diverse applications. In addition, we design and distribute the hoi ceramics line and teach narrative drawing at the Lucerne School of Art and Design and other institutions. Please don’t hesitate to contact us regarding commissions or collaborations. Or simply stop by for a visit—we’ll draw you a cake!
