Garden Sculpture Lawn / Yard Art, Outdoor Decor, Handmade Dragon, Sea Serpent
ITEM DESCRIPTION Like the great watery beasts of fictional lore, this land-bound beast brings the fantasy to life. Chris Crooks’ extravagant, three-part denizen of the deep adds a dramatic statement to green spaces as he leaps energetically through waves of grass and inspires uproarious reactions from all who cross his path. Crooks crafts each giant from monstrous pieces of hand-cut metal that are aged with a bright rust patina. He then bends and shapes the tentacles, scales and other dragon-like details, giving the piece added ferocity and dimensionality. Steel segments affixed with mounting brackets that hold two, 6 stakes (six stakes included). 18 gauge mild steel, 60D nails. Head: 19.5″ W x 24″ H x 4″ D Body: 22.5″ W x 17″ H x 4″ D Tail: 13″ W x 18″ H x 4 D. Rust patina will become darker and richer with age. About the Artist I started out from my garage. As the business grew, and my wifes 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 has taken a somewhat winding road to get to where is nowcreating 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. Eventually, he began designing and making his first metal sculpture collection from his studio nestled in the foothills of the Santa Rita mountains, just outside Tucson. 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.
