Hello!

I'm Jess Gurr, aka. Wildfire 198, a Writer & Illustrator from Bristol in the (sometimes) sunny UK.

I like to create shiny, pretty things in the form of illustrations e.g. character and concept art, posters and print & design work, as well as crafting interesting wordy bits, writing copy and editorial pieces, articles & reviews. Oh, and I blog a bit too.

If you'd like to have a chat with me, maybe about some work you'd like done, why not send me a nice email? I like getting mail...
