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

Versus Project

In 2010, Dave Ashby started the Versus Project – an illustration project for South West-based illustrators where you had to design a set of cards for a playing card pack. 13 artists were chosen, including myself, each taking on a numbered set to design (e.g. queen, jack, 4′s etc). I designed the 2′s.

This year (2011), I have been a judge on the judging panel, helping Dave to decide which artists are featured. I also entered a card design (the rules changed slightly this year, opening it up to all artists in the UK, and only one card is designed to start with), choosing to do the “Death card” aka. the Ace of Spades; it won’t be entered into the competition, however - I was really doing it just for the fun of it!
