What Makes It Uncommon
Release the Kraken!
Like the great watery beasts of fictional lore, Chris Crooks' grass-bound, giant squid brings fantasy to life. His magnificent monster adds a dramatic statement to green spaces as it rises up through waves of grass and inspires uproarious reactions from all who cross its path. Crooks crafts each four-tentacled beast from pieces of hand-cut metal that are aged with a bright rust patina. He then bends and shapes his tentacles, suckers, and bulbous head, giving the piece added ferocity and dimensionality. Segments affixed with mounting brackets that hold 6 inch stakes. Handmade in Arizona.

“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."

TrishC
Well made metal lawn ornament with spikes to hold it in place. Looks fantastic in our coastal garden. Friends and family have all fallen in love with our kraken. We put a solar spotlight behind the head and it looks great at night!
Friend of the library
Kids love the movement that is created by this sculpture.
Joey
I was pleasantly surprised at the thickness of the metal! I live by the ocean and anything that is outside in the salt air Rust's very quickly. I think this will be around for a while!!! I think the steaks could have been a little longer given the weight of the pieces!
Chelserin
This is an eyecatcher! Everyone who visits mentions how much they love it.
NBR
We needed an art feature for our backyard, and we didn't want to scare away our hummingbirds. It was a choice between the shark and the octopus, but the ability to put all of those octopus legs in the garden clinched it.
Jane B
It looks fantastic in her garden. It hiding a bit, just like a real Octopus.
Maggie
Just placed it in the garden today. I believe it will withstand the salty air and rain.
Chuck
A perfect addition to our raised beds. A touch of whimsy never hurt anyone and is good for the soul.
