Artist and dinosaur-lover John Conway, who “makes art of very old things, and of new things [he has] made up”, specializes in portraying exotic subjects like extinct animals and “future humans”.



One of his newer works is a funny, tongue-in-cheek illustrated chart titled The Dinosaur Pet Guide, which informs the reader on “the pleasures and pitfalls of today's common dinosaurian pets”.



Listing the pros and cons of owning various kinds of dinosaurs, this informative guides aims to help you decide which is the most suitable dinosaur pet for you.



The characteristics of each dinosaur are color-coded and categorised under “favourable”, “caution” and “beware”—naturally, some dinosaurs are easier to manage than others.



For instance, while the Tyrannosaurus may impress your friends, it is definitely one of the more high-maintenance dinosaurs with “certain death” as the main pitfall for keeping it as a pet.
