Wade Collins has always had a pencil in his hand. Having been the first of five children, his parents were determined to find an inexpensive medium to keep all the kids occupied and one they could all participate in. Drawing became a favorite Collins family activity. Wade remembers his father stretching out the butcher paper across the living-room floor and the arms and elbows of his brothers and sisters as they jockeyed for more territory and sketched the day away. Every reward or punishment he ever received had something to do with what he chose to do with that pencil. Luckily, one day he found a vocation that celebrated and praised his skewed view and artistic talents… the art of Caricature! His work is celebrated and enjoyed by the many clients who have engaged him over the years for their events. Mr. Collins is repeatedly hired by Colleges and Universities throughout the Southeast as fun entertainment for their many campus events. His corporate client list is a Who’s Who of the Fortune 500 businesses throughout the South where he performs and creates fun and parody for their enjoyment. His brothers and sisters have moved on to explore their other talents but, Wade never got over the delightful wonder or creative magic that he found in that pencil. When asked about his chosen profession Wade said, “Nothing compares to the joy I’ve discovered while drawing… especially when I’m drawing others. I’ve been drawing a long time, I’m almost 50 years old now, and I still have my pencil! Where’s that paper?”
