“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."

Great looking dinosaurs
As soon as I saw the velociraptors, I knew they had to come live at my house. They are great looking. The only drawback is that if they aren't treated, they will darken and the color they are now is perfect. A friend who refurbishes furniture has agreed to figure out a coating that will keep the velociraptors' finish looking the way it does now even while being outdoors. If the maker doesn't wish to coat them, it would be nice if he'd give instructions how to preserve the finish because it is great looking and adds to the appearance of the velociraptors.

These are fantastic!!
My husband put these in our backyard, and they look amazing! They were easy to install, and they are a good size. My husband placed these in the perfect spot so we can see them when we look out from inside the house or no matter where we are in the backyard. Very happy with our purchase!!

Got these as a gift five months ago
I got these as a gift as a house warming present. They are holding up well in the winter with some snow. I absolutely love looking out the window and seeing them. I ended up buy the other ones. I wish there were more dinosaurs to buy.

Garden Raptors? YES PLEASE!
Gr3at design with some bends to make them more 'lively.' Came with the stakes to secure in the ground. I am not positive if the metal has been finish coated. Pretty positive they aren't. Would hate for them to rust further so I will clear coat to stop rusting.

What color do these garden dinos start? Are they already rusted?
Verified reply from Maxienne
The set starts in a copper color and will naturally develop a patina over time.

Love the outdoor dino sculptures but will they withstand the snowy northeastern winters or do I have to bring them inside for the winter?
Verified reply from Allison
No special care needed however, patina will darken over time. If you've decided that your sea serpent has reached the perfect patina you can always use a sealant.

Are the edges sharp? I have 5 yr old twin grandchildren who will most likely touch them.
Verified reply from Allison
The teeth, claws, and the scales on the back of the dinos have pointy edges.
