After a short period as a chartered accountant, Aaron began working as a freelance cartoonist in 2009. He has regularly contributed cartoons to Private Eye, Reader's Digest, The Oldie, Prospect, The New Statesman, The Spectator, and The Rugby Paper, for whose cartoon, North Stand, Aaron was highly commended in the 2012 British Sports Journalism Awards. Aaron has written and illustrated a number of children's books, predominantly in Welsh. He was chosen by the Books Council of Wales to write the £1 Welsh language book for World Book Day in 2021. Together with his wife, Luned Aaron, he won both the Tir na n-Og Award (Welsh language primary category) and the Wales Book of the Year (Children & Young People Award) in 2023 for Dwi Eisiau bod yn Ddeinosor. In 2024, Aaron signed an alleged six-figure contract with Puffin Books for seven books, the first of which, Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob, was published in March 2025.
