Teo Zirinis, otherwise known as HandsOffMyDinosaur, is a 35-year-old illustrator from Athens, Greece, who loves to make quirky cartoons that are fresh-out-of-the-box. Animals have been an incredible wellspring of motivation for the majority of this illustrator’s work.

The illustrator says that he’s been captivated by animals ever since he was a little child. His favorite pastime activity is "reading nature magazines and watching wildlife documentaries" and, through them, he "discovered a magical world full of diverse species, each with their own habits and peculiarities" that he still finds thrilling even up to now.

Awesome, right? Well, according to the artist, an illustration takes him around 2 to 3 hours to complete a delineation once he has a reasonable idea of what he wants to draw.

"This can, of course, vary depending on the complexity of the work, but I like to keep my illustrations as simple as possible. Brainstorming ideas is usually the longest part of the process," he added.

What’s more, the artist likes to feel that his comics can give a little bit of pleasure and bring a smile to somebody's face. "Drawing makes me happy, and ultimately what I aim for is to transmit and share that happiness with whoever is looking at my work," says Zirinis.

We’ve gathered a portion of his comics that he has made over the past years!
