Jim Gary’s Dinosaur Models

Origin
Jim Gary was an American sculptor popularly known for his large, colorful creations of dinosaurs made from discarded automobile parts. These sculptures were typically finished with automobile paint although some were left to develop a natural patina during display outdoors. He was also recognized internationally for his architectural, landscape, and whimsical monumental art as well as abstracts. Sculpture and life figures by Gary often included intricate use of stained glass and his works were frequently composed of, or included, hardware, machine parts, and tools. He employed painted steel in many works, it being his metal of choice.

Effects
Currently consisting of a stegosaurus, brontosaur, pterodactyls and triceratops. Several others, including the plesiosaur, dimetrodon and “Garysaurus”, remain uncaptured. When within the nearby presence of artwork, creativity or ingenuity, they will animate and behave like their ancestors. This makes them especially needy, as they consume metal and scrap as opposed to organic matter. Also, each appears to rust heavily when exposed to liquid water and must require intermittent personal maintenance. If they are activated at least once annually, they will awaken as more violent and dangerous versions of themselves next time.
