If Things Could Talk This Is What They Would Say (My 25 New Illustrations)

More than often, I find inspiration in food and objects that surround us in our everyday lives.

I wonder what it would be like if they had a voice of their own. What would they say and how would they interact with each other?

My real name is Teo Zirinis, better known as Handsoffmydinosaur! I am an Athens-based freelance illustrator and graphic designer, whose passion is finding the happy, amusing side of things. I get the ideas for my funny drawings in everyday topics, such as food, books, and life in general.

Food has always been a strong source of inspiration for my illustrations, but the food-pun series really kicked off a couple of years ago. It started as a hobby but for the past three years I've been lucky enough to be able to turn it into a full-time job.

I daydream a lot, so most of the time it's just seeing or thinking of a type of food and imagining funny/silly scenarios in my head, I write most of them down and try to find the punchline that works best.

Although, I would prefer not to give much away yet, I've been working on a couple of fun series that I will hopefully be able to share soon!
