Does anyone know who the artist is for this?

This has got to be one of the most influential t-shirt designs in the history of dinosaur enthusiasm, and I know there were other dinosaurs as well. Does anyone know who did it?

Looks like it rips off Charles Knight's classic Tyrannosaurus vs Triceratops painting.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I immediately thought it is reminiscent of Charles Knight's work, too.

In the 80's they were everywhere. It wasn't just t-shirts. I had a cup with this T. rex on it. There were other dinosaurs too of course. There was some artist who was commissioned to do designs of the big famous dinosaurs and they were the ubiquitous thing every dinosaur loving kid had. If you don't remember them like I do, that's okay.

This was part of a series of designs for several familiar prehistoric animals. I just found a (kind of terrible) picture of me wearing a Pteranadon t-shirt when I was a kid.



I also had a Tyrannosaurus cup, I think I had a Tyrannosaurus badge, and I had a Stegosaurus bag. If that helps at all, I really am curious who did this design because I remember it so fondly from my childhood.
