Title
Sean Wright - writer and illustrator
Description
Sean Wright was born in Peterborough, England, in 1959. He attended the St.Peter's Primary School and the Queen's Secondary School in Wisbech. When he left he spent a year at the Isle College, studying print and design. He learned how to take photographs, process film, compose type, design layouts, tinkered in the repro room, messed about with the litho printing machines and generally learned a great deal about 'the old-fashioned' printing trade. This is where his great love of books - both written and illustrated began.
Back in 1976, he went to London to audition for a band called The Automatics, and met up with Steve Lillywhite, producer of Ultravox, Status Quo, and U2. Lillywhite was concerned that a 16 year-old, Sean, was 'too young to be alone in London. Life here is full of strange situations,' he said. Inspired, two years later Sean released a power pop single, 'Strange Situation,' on the Ellie Jay Record label, London, and has been recently told that this limited edition is now sought after by Amsterdam Record Fair collectors.
He toured, and joined many bands during the next eight years. He can still remember some of their names: BOT (Before Our Time), The Media, The Stabbe, International Heroes, Hollywood Wires, Code Two, Born Free, and many more that elude him right now.
