As an Illustrator and cartoonist I have worked professionally since graduating from The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, NY in 2003. There I accepted a Bachelors degree in Cartooning/Illustration and received two scholarships while enrolled. I have been an artist my entire life, from at least the age of five. I started working as a Caricature artist in High School to earn extra money during my summers and since have developed my own business, Jessica’s Caricature. My mission as an artist is to continuously be able to express myself in every venue I see fit, from Children’s books, Illustration and Caricature to Comic books and Erotic work.  To see my portfolio please visit my website www.JessFink.com .
