Clyde’s Critter House is literally a two-minute walk up Bynum Hill Road, and he loves visitors, especially those from out of town! If you are from another country, he will likely go inside and ask you to sign his “autograph” book, which has dozens of people in it from far-flung corners of the globe, including the famous dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov. You might notice that Clyde’s “critters” adorn almost every house in Bynum; he believes his art unifies the community by being in so many yards. His art is also at military bases, houses, and museums throughout the world, “from Russia to Zimbabwe” he likes to say. It’s worth noting that Clyde does not sell his art: he gives it away, sometimes just because he likes someone but often as a donation to a cause he believes in for a future fundraising raffle. There’s a good chance you’ll see Clyde driving his lawnmower around Bynum; it’s how he gets around. It’s also his way of keeping his eye on his critters and our neighborhood. He’s like a combination of a town mayor, a visionary artist, and a watchman. Who else has an entire festival named after them? (Clydefest occurs every April on the Bynum Ball Field.)
