I fell in love with creation through street art and graffiti now using the same practices on all surfaces with the objective of creating my own world of stories through characters, colours, lines and movement. A world of my own… Kasper’s World
In the depths of the night, my imagination ignites. My sketch pad comes to life as I experiment with different movements, colours and fonts. Lately I’ve been enjoying colourful and fun characters with a slightly abstract twist. I like to let my mind take over, and go with the flow.
Hailing from Brisbane, Sofles jokes that his tag sounds like a box of tissues or something from a Hallmark card. He began painting graffiti in 2000 and soon wanted to get better as fast as he could. He began experimenting with 3Ds, however a more traditional style was developed and then improved upon. He quickly became known around the globe as an artist putting in both quantity and quality. As he mastered his craft, Sofles gained the reputation of “Special Effects Wizard”, a reference to his uncanny ability to take a standard painting and take it to the next level.
