Stylized Flames

[tonylondon]

Select a j and convert to a shape. Make the flame lozenge by distorting a square with curved corners. Combine with ctrl 1. Cut out the gaps by taking part of the lozenge as a line. Place over the lozenge, convert line to shape and subtract (ctrl 2). Edit the final shape with the shape tool; I don't profess to be artistic!
