Reason #1 why my TCAF haul is the best. HAND MADE Chesty doll by Rebecca ( @livetwatthebat )
She is hand crocheted and the detail is amazing from her little eyelashes to her individual fingers! She doesn’t have wire bones but she is surprisingly…flexible, DAYUM.
I nearly fell out of my chair when Rebecca gave her to me.
I got some charms made.
I will most likely have them for my upcoming convention appearances at TCAF and MECAF.
Haha, well thank you for your blind love.
Chesty was an April fools day prank I pulled a few years ago. You can read her first adventure here (click through, there are 8 pages):

Hey most recent adventure here: http://jessfink.com/Chester5000XYV/?p=436
Chester 5000 is back!
http://jessfink.com/Chester5000XYV/
There will be another comic tomorrow as well!
Gosh I loved drawing that little old rich dude, now I wish he was around more.
Chester Valentines are now on sale for Valentines day!

I only made a few this year cuz they are hand cut and therefor time consuming (and I’m trying to concentrate on comics). The corners of each set of cards may vary in cut and design cuz I got a new fancy cutter doohickey.
I love you!
ATTN: The contest is now over! (you can still help me spread the word, but the book has been won by some lucky person!)
I need some help spreading the word about the Chester 5000 book!
If you’d like to help you could also win a copy of the book! Just reblog this post and leave a reply with your email address so I can contact you. On September 28th I’ll randomly choose a winner!
What you get:
-A brand new signed copy of Chester 5000 XYV with your choice of character sketched inside
-A Chester paper doll
-A signed print
You can also read all of Chester 5000 XYV online (NSFW, 18+)
The only difference between the online version and the book is that the art in the book has been re-scanned at a higher resolution and re-cleaned. Some of the art has been redone for the sake of consistency and I can assure that it’s a very handsome volume.
Thanks, I love you! :D
Chester 5000 is in stores this week!!! WOOOOO!!!! :D
I was very lucky to get some amazing testimonials for the back of the book from artists I admire:
“Liquid and elegantly stylized.” — Alan Moore
“Chester 5000 is everything I wish I could be in a robot boyfriend and Jess Fink is everything I wish I could be as an artist. This is the most sexcellent book you will ever read.” — Rich Stevens, author of Diesel Sweeties
“Is there any finer thing than a gorgeously drawn and visually engaging sexy-Victorian steam-punk robo-love story? Chester 5000 is absolutely wonderful, custom-built for your (reading) pleasure.” — Lucy Knisley, author of French Milk
If your local shop doesn’t carry the book, feel free to badger them about it!
