What Makes It Uncommon
We Eat Your Greens
Goats have become famously adorable lawn mowers. Why not hire a giraffe to trim your greenery? Metal master Chris Crooks designed these graceful herbivores to give the illusion that they’re munching on the leaves of nearby bushes or trees. He cuts them from cold rolled steel and age-accelerates it to create a bright, ruddy, rust patina. What Makes It Uncommons like horns and a mane make these lawn pets stand out, drawing double-takes—and delighted laughs. Two sizes, mother and baby, that face opposite directions. Each has a built-in ground stake. Handmade in Arizona.Made from
16 gauge crs steel

“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."

These giraffes exceed my expectations! My best friend loves giraffes so much he went to Nairobi to stay at the Giraffe Hotel. So I bought him a mama and calf for his newly renovated back yard. He found the perfect spot under a sapote (Mexican fruit) tree. Their oxidized surface is beautiful, and they are elegantly sculpted. Easy to put together, they stand sturdily in the yard. He might need to buy some more!

These giraffes are a great visual ! The grandchildren think they are real and enjoy talking to them.

I fell in love with the picture when I saw it. My wife is a giraffe freak so it was a no-brainer. Ironically, when she told her sister she got a great gift, the sister asked if she got a giraffe (sarcastically) and my wife was thrilled to say yes! I don't have the issues that others have had with it bending or falling over in the wind, and it has survived 1 1/2 Chicago winters so far. And the perfect shadow cast on our fence was an added unexpected bonus!

We loved them--until we had a storm with gusting winds. Both blew over, bent at their legs--now they fall all the time and the legs are cracking. I want to find someone who can weld metal bars to the back of the legs so these can stand up to modest weather.
Suzy
This is the perfect outdoor sculpture. Enhances any garden. Very realistic. East to put together and you can't see where the two pieces are joined. Truly an artist created this.
MaryK
We purchased both sculptures and they are really cute. Unfortunately, when there's a wind--and it doesn't have to be a strong one--one or both sculptures bend at the legs and the sculptures fall flat on the ground. It's a shame because I'm sure at some point the metal will just break off completely at the feet. The stakes under the giraffe legs just aren't enough.

This is a cool addition to my garden. People stop to take a look. It was easy to set up - just a Philips screwdriver and rubber mallet was needed.

Mother and baby are the perfect addition to our garden! These giraffes bring back so many wonderful memories of my trips to Africa!

Mom loves it :) Has it sitting in her garden eating her ferns
Minnesota Mama
We have this in our front yard near the tree line of the wooded portion of our lot. Our kiddo loves it. We have a handful of other pieces by this same artist—all are top quality. Well made and unique.
