As a child Subi drew pictures all the time. In every room of the house and throughout his life in South Africa. After studying Architecture he realised his passion was in illustration and became a freelancer, working with self publishing authors worldwide and was awarded a Mo Siewcharran Publisher’s Prize for Illustration in 2020.

In 2022 ‘The Girl With 21 Questions’ a picture book illustrated by Subi and published by Pan MacMillan SA, won the gold Pendoring award for best designed picture book. One year after that, Subi won another gold Pendoring award for best designed picture book for “Wonderfully Made”, also published by Pan Macmillan SA.

His Wordless comic ‘Miyayu’ had it’s first issue released in 2021, published by Imagnry House and the book’s fame sparked the Kingsmead Book Fair to invite Subi to host a comic making workshop which was a great success.

Subi is based in Cape Town, South Africa, producing picture books, comics, graphic novels and a podcast for visual art creatives titled ‘Subi and Kate Circling Back’.
