AF Azar is an illustrator, cartoonist, and zinester who graduated with a BFA in illustration in 2020. In his free time Azar walks at local parks, where he documents everything he sees and collects lost fishing baubles. He is middling to pretty good at playing video games and still keeps up with the Salmon Run daily grind. He loves customizing his clothing with patches and buttons, then matching his outfits with hats he knits himself. The influence of his various interests and the human connections he’s made through them can be seen in much of his work.
Clients include Cleveland Scene Magazine, Study and Struggle, the Oneshot Podcast Network, Tidehead Studios, and various solo indie game designers. Azar is a member of Strange Deer Press, a Midwestern comic and zine collective. His work was featured in the 2018 exhibition Gender? I Hardly Know Her! at the Ann and Norman Roulet Student + Alumni Gallery, the 2021 exhibition Back in my day… at the Reinberger Gallery, and the Cartoonist Co-op’s 2025 Nib & Ink Fest.
