“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."

Love this sculpture in my garden.
This definitely makes my neighbors stop and take a closer look. I've received several texts letting me know I have a dinosaur in my yard. Truly a conversation starter. Plan to add to my own Jurassic Park with the other dinos in the collection. Sturdy and sets up easily!!

Adorable and smaller size is big enough!
Husband loved it as a surprise. Kids were thrilled to have in the garden. It's excellent quality, stands easily, withstands various wind and rain, and happy to see that even the smaller size is large enough.

Love it!!!
My neighbor had one. I admired it so much that I asked her where she got it and she told me Uncommon Goods. I went to the site, found it easily and ordered it. It arrived quickly and was even better than I thought. I installed it in my bed of giant ostrich ferns and she is happily grazing away...#sweepstakes

Making my Nana garden into my grandsons dream
I ordered and received my Brontosaurus sculpture quickly. I was delighted to see the workmanship and details. My grandson was thrilled by our new garden friend. So I ordered a T-Rex for his play yard. Txs

LOVE these!
Sorry for the delay in my review. Was waiting to set them up so I could attach a pic. I have the velociraptors and am happy to add the large and small brontosaurus to my prehistoric backyard! I need to get more of course, and I definitely will!!! Packaged very nicely so as not to arrive damaged and very easy to put together. I know I am going to purchase the whole collection so I'm hoping more dinosaurs will be created!!!

Do they require any maintenance, as I've had them for two years now. Should they be cleaned at all?
Verified reply from Allison
Your sculpture does not need to be cleaned. You may see a nice patina by now. If you'd like the to keep it as is, you can spray it with a clear coat. That can be found at any hardware store.

The large size faces right and the standard size faces left, correct? To get the same as advertised pics, I buy both sizes and I will receive right and left? I worry that I will receive the same facing dinos in two different sizes. According to the pic the tail attached to the back side so it has to be right and left facing.
Verified reply from Amy
Yes, we confirmed with the artist directly and you are exactly right! The large faces right, and the standard faces left.

How does this hold up in winter and snow? I am interested in purchasing for someone in Boston.
Verified reply from Amy
These metal sculptures are made to withstand typical weather conditions, but we would recommend taking extra caution with them during heavier weather conditions, such as strong winds.
