Subi Bosa

As a child Subi drew pictures all the time.

In every room of the house- sometimes on the walls. His mother still tells everyone “… he knew how to draw before he could properly hold a pencil,” and throughout his life in South Africa, Subi has been known for drawing fun pictures and comics, which he did throughout highschool and university.

After studying Architecture he realised his passion was in illustration and writing and he became a freelancer, working with self-publishing authors worldwide while studying graphic design at the Academy of Digital Arts in Cape Town. In 2020, Subi was awarded a Mo Siewcharran Publisher’s Prize for Illustration. He is now working on his own author-illustrated ideas, and his debut graphic novel will be published by Lerner in 2025.

Subi is currently based in Cape Town, South Africa, producing picture books, comics and graphic novels.
