Join us at Gay's the Word at 1pm on Sunday October 11th to celebrate publication of For Adults Only - The Erotic Gay Art of Ronald Wright. A Free event with complimentary refreshments. Please RSVP here on Facebook or just show up! Spiritualist writer, gay magazine illustrator, celebrity portrait artist, author, artists model and psychic medium, Ronald Wrights life has been filled with strange encounters and extraordinary experiences. Seduced by the sparkle of cinemas entertainers the young Ronald Wright was drawn to Londons West End in the early 1950′s. With youthful determination Wright found ways to meet the stars he idolized, and more importantly stumbled upon the secret world of Londons homosexual scene. First gaining a reputation drawing the likeness of Theatreland stars like Marlene Dietrich, Mae West and Vivien Leigh, Wright eventually turned his graphic skills to the burgeoning Physique and Mens Interest magazine industry. Wrights artwork featured in many of the internationally renowned publications including Fizeek, Adonis, Sir Gay, Male Classics, Modern Man and Body Beautiful. Imprisoned for being gay in 1959, he was released a year later and began a successful career as artist model, most notably posing as the body of Rudolf Nureyev for a Madam Tussauds waxwork.
