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...

  • @markcrilley Hey, there! I was just wondering, how would you draw a chibi in profile? Not having a nose makes it a bit difficult, no :)? 3 days ago

Dutty Girl

Dutty Girl

I was asked to design a promotional poster for Dutty Girl, a Bristol-based clothing brand, to advertise the opening of their 2010 pop-up store at the Goldmine.
The brief was quite open, stating only that it should include the company logo and be able to be reproduced as a souvenir print, almost like a gig poster. As such, I looked at their existing artwork and came up with my own spin on their previous flyers, incorporating their logo into the character’s earrings. She is hand-drawn and was imported into Photoshop, where I added colours and lots of textures and highlights to create the final piece.
