Aaron Read is a comedian and visual artist working out of Vancouver, B.C. He uses markers and pens to create surreal, often cartoon-like comics and drawings. Read uses his sense of humour and a blank six panel on printer paper to pick apart and poke fun at life in a wry, absurd way. He also performs weekly as an improv comedian in the improv group The Sunday Service and performs with the band How to Dress Well.
