WADE is an artist who expresses himself in many media.  He paints self-portraits on a
    variety of surfaces including toasters and other people's artwork, and has recently
    turned his attention to dismantling, reconstituting, and painting discarded, often
    headless dolls which are then nestled together in the "basket o'babies."

    He is also a fixture at Southern California poetry readings and has published a book of
    poems entitled Madcap: Spontaneous Western Haiku by a Guy Named Wade.  One
    of his first art pieces involved a doll's head impaled on a skimmer pole, entitled "Baby
    Wade's Head on a Stick."  It was utilized for emphasis during his poetry readings and
    lead to his self-portrait series.

    Wade is going to heaven, simply because he is brave enough to be a seventh-grade
    Language Arts teacher (P.C. for "English teacher.")

    He lives in Southern California with his wife and their furry children and is hard at work
    on the next painting in his admittedly egotistical self-portrait series.
