Wade Anthony Harrison

Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, the son of Grover Cummings, Wade was encouraged to express himself through art from the very beginning. He started painting from the bed sheets, to the walls, onto paper. He used his art as a way of expression and to release his emotions.

Growing up in the late 60’s and early 70’s, Wade became influenced by the tide of the Black Power movement. Taking his self awareness cues from his mother and coupling that with the creative talent of his photographer father, he gravitated towards those musical expressions that were revolutionary; namely jazz, reggae, and hip hop. He consequently became infamous and influential in another revolution, the emerging Toledo graffiti art revolution, under the tag “Swade”. MORE >
