What Makes It Uncommon

keyboard_arrow_up

Metal master Chris Crooks designed his dinos to give the illusion that they're gobbling up the leaves of nearby bushes or trees. (Uncommon fact: The brontosaurus didn't chew its food, the long-necked herbivore just swallowed it whole...GULP!.)

  • Chris cuts each brontosaurus from cold rolled steel that's age-accelerated to create a bright, ruddy, rust patina.
  • Details like faces and spines make these prehistoric lawn "pets" stand out, drawing double-takes (and "Wow!'s").
  • Built-in ground stakes hold them secure.
  • Available in two sizes: Standard and Large. Pair them up for a charmingly Cretacious mother-and-baby display.
  • See instructions on how to assemble your brontosaurus here.
  • Handmade in Arizona.

  • Turn your yard into a prehistoric park by adding a commanding T. rex., the triceratops mama-and-baby set, or a pair of fierce velociraptors.

I started out from my garage. As the business grew, and my wife’s and neighbors' patience stretched, it was time to move to an industrial space. There I can bang and grind at all hours of the night. It's 1,000 square feet of pure metalworking nirvana.

Chris Crooks took a winding road to get to where he is now—creating imaginative lawn sculptures inspired by the Southwest landscape he calls home. After graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Chris worked in advertising, then ran a printing business with his wife, while painting during his free time. It was when the couple moved to Tucson that Chris collaborated with a metal art manufacturer and fell in love with the art form. He now designs and creates sculptures in his studio at the foot of the Santa Rita Mountains. "I always wanted to make a living doing something genuinely enjoyable," he says. "To get up in the morning raring to go, and never having enough time to do everything you want to do."
