About the Creator
Verushka Pillay was born in Johannesburg and raised in both Lenasia South and Corlett Gardens, South Africa, before moving to and settling in the USA.
During the Apartheid regime, the Group Areas Act placed us 22 Miles away from the city, in an underdeveloped Township, which meant that things were inconvenient.
We resided in this designated location, called Lenasia South which was for Indians, for 16 years, before relocating closer to the city. South Africa was still developing although, we had State-controlled TV, Magazines, books, and Newspapers.
My '90s childhood was filled with reading American and European comics in the Sunday Times newspapers, and occasionally getting my hands on an Archibald comic through a neighbor. Things were expensive in a developing country, so getting my hands on anything from the USA was a treat. I delved into every imaginable cartoon and discovered that some originated as comics.
My affinity for stories with artwork, a practice dating from cave paintings to books, continues. I'm thrilled to be part of the creative process, collaborating with other talented artists to share, inspire, and provoke thought.
Viśhva, meaning UNIVERSE in Sanskrit, is reflected in our logo—an ancient symbol representing the universe and the ultimate reality created by the Ancient Tamil culture.
This symbol signifies the cycle of life. - Creation, Preservation, and Destruction.
