Cartoonist
Andrianos was featured in the short-lived magazine Real Comics, where he won the magazine's "Best Script" award for his autobiographical comic 'Comic Maniac'. Since then, he created many other comic strips, mostly appearing online, including 'Alex the Squirrel', the witch 'Hope Winslow' (created with his wife Elodie), 'Spunky', 'Max Farmer', 'Red Hood Unbound' and 'LOL Patrol'.
An avid comic collector, Andrianos has been maintaining the Comic Maniacs news blog since 2018. Together with fellow comics fan Iona Aggelis, he launched the online magazine Comic Cultura (2018-2020), which contained both comics and background articles. Starting in 2019, he and his wife Elodie Kohler Andrianou have been involved in the Greek anthology comic magazine Epifany Comics.
