“Encouraging the Appreciation of Art & Education
through the Inspiration of Dinosaurs”
Hi, I’m Paul Heinzman.
Like many I have loved dinosaurs since I was a kid. This story starts when I was looking for a free standing trellis to support a wild vine. After an exhaustive search at Home Improvement Stores and Local Nurseries, I checked out a Fountain, Pond & Metal Sculpture Shop near my home (Somis Koi). As I walked through the various unique works of art, I came across a hatching T-Rex sculpture.
Once I got Kevin, home and placed in my garden, I knew I had to do something to protect Kevin from the weather and rusting away. After wire brushing, acid washing, use of a rust converter some primer and final color painting, Kevin was ready for his close-up.
Kevin has an honored place in the entry, which demonstrates how well Metal Dinosaurs behave indoors.
Somis Koi had a 3 1/2 foot tall T-Rex and Pterodactyl that needed rescuing too. PaulsPrehistoricPark.com was born! I found a few other sources for Dinosaur Hunting listed in Needing Rescue/Adoption page that has resulted in 42 Prehistoric Pals joining the Park! So Far! In 2021 a Dragon! – Xiuhcoatl. Are Dragons Undiscovered Dinosaurs? You will be Surprised at What I have Uncovered! Last Year Three New Prehistoric Pals join the Park after migrating to Somis Koi from Mexico. Two Raptors and another Hollywood Dinosaur – Rudy Valentino a Dilophosaurus. When did Dinosaurs first appear in movies? Would you believe over 110 years ago!
Enjoy Watching the Transformation in preserving these Incredible Works of Art in Photos & step by step instructions. How to select a site for your Metal Dinosaur in Your Yard or Even Indoors! Locations of available Dinosaurs can be found on the Needing Rescue/Adoption page. We talk to Creators of these Wonderful Works of Art and discover new artists from all around the world! In 2017, Mr. Alan of Theta Partners in Zimbabwe was featured with his latest Creations!
The Dinosaurs, Pterosaur & I have Adventures and Activities All Year to Entertain You. Visits to Museums, the Library and even the Zoo. We leave no stone unturned looking for the latest on Dinosaurs, Pterosaurs and other Prehistoric Animals. We have Fun Activities at Home, Indoors and Out. Celebrating Holidays with Crafts, Cooking, Pumpkin Carving, Book Readings, Drawing Prehistoric Pals, even a School for Dinosaurs and much more.
Library visits and Book Reading to the Young Paleontologists of tomorrow, inspired me to write several Children’s Books. “Is a Metal Dinosaur the Right Pet for You?” is available as an eBook on Amazon.com.
Stay Tuned for paperback versions and other books that are in process will be available soon with many more in the queue!
A “How to Draw Dinosaurs” Activity at the end of my Book Readings is Great Fun. After seeing the Dinosaur Sculptures in the Desert of Borrego Springs, inspiration has moved me to designing Future Prehistoric Pals for the Park. I look forward to Metal Sculpture Artists bringing these Drawings to Life – Full Size as when the Dinosaurs walked the Earth! I would enjoy hearing Your Prehistoric Experiences and Discoveries as PaulsPrehistoricPark.com continues to Grow! paul@paulsprehistoricpark.com
