The Story of My "Willy Don" Crab In 2005, the City of
Baltimore invited artists to decorate 6-foot-tall, 75 pound crab
sculptures to exhibit on the streets of Baltimore. The selected artists
received a payment, and Baltimore City Public Schools raised thousands
of dollars for special projects and improvements. After being on public
display over the summer, the crab sculptures were sold at an auction. I
chose to do a crab honoring the legendary Baltimore politician William
Donald Schaefer - the long-time Mayor of Baltimore, and Governor and
Comptroller of Maryland. Popularly known as "Willy Don", Schaefer was
clearly the dominant figure in late-20th-Century Maryland
politics. He was the guy who got things done - reviving downtown
Baltimore, building sports arenas and attracting the NFL back to
Baltimore, promoting Maryland businesses worldwide and creating jobs.
The front side is a caricature of Schaefer's familiar face, and the
back has a more formal (and more flattering) portrait. Real estate
developer Peter Handal bought the crab and installed it in July 2006
(on
my birthday, oddly enough) overlooking the parking lot of the East Side
Courthouse on E. North Avenue in Baltimore. Governor Schaefer passed
away in April 2011. The city of Baltimore and Maryland are better for
the fact that he passed through. Look at the Inner Harbor, the sports
stadiums and the revitalized downtown and you see a beautiful, proud,
reborn Baltimore that is the handiwork of this great man. Don Schaefer
will be long remembered and sadly missed.
