Rachel Costello
Cartoonist/Illustrator

Hi! My name is Rachel and I’m a cartoonist and illustrator from New Jersey, with a BFA in Cartooning from the School of Visual Arts.

I’ve been drawing since I was a kid and ever since I watched Tokyo Mew Mew, I’ve been obsessed with creating my own stories and characters. After struggling for years on what I want to focus on I’ve found I really enjoy making lighthearted comics and characters that reflect parts of my life. I am currently working on creating a pitch for my comic titled Picket, a story revolving around a young pickpocketer who makes friends with some of their previous theft victims.

I have previously worked on illustrating a children’s book “How the Peppermint Piggies Saved Christmas” by Peaches Moscerallo and have had my work in several galleries. I currently run my own Etsy shop selling buttons and stickers, while taking commissions on the side of my main job.
