AF Azar is an illustrator, book designer, and zinester from Ohio. Azar loves to walk at local parks, where he documents everything he sees and collects lost fishing baubles. An avid thrifter, he loves DIYing worn out clothing with the patches he makes himself or picks up at local art shows. His most prized possessions are his collection of vintage plush toys and his growing stack of nature photos taken on disposable film cameras.
The influence of Azar’s various interests and the connections he’s made through them is celebrated in his work. His art commonly implements dense texture, selective limited color palettes, and richly populated environments. He loves to fill space in an image with little creatures and objects cluttering up tables.
Past 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 Cartoonists United’s Nib & Ink Fest 2025-2026. Published under a pseudonym, one of his comics was nominated in the Humor category of the 5th Annual Minicomics Awards.
