Boil Knife
I was asked to design a new mascot for Boli Knife, an independent brand that hand crafts bespoke kitchen knives to order. What made this such an exciting brief to work on was that I had free reign to interpret it in anyway I liked, just as long as the finished character looked posh and snooty. Boli Knife were very adamant that the finished character must be both posh and snooty.
I decided to base my design on an actual knife, anthropomorphising it and then applying the features of a suave gentleman. Adding a dinner jacket, a pair of sophisticated spectacles and some slicked back hair really helped to complete the look. At this point, the newly designed mascot was just oozing affluence and arrogance.
The artisans at Boli Knife were thrilled with the finished design, deeming their new masco to be the perfect blend of posh and snooty however, they felt something was still missing. A name…
We had a lot of fun coming up with a suitable title but finally, after some sublime suggestions, we finally agreed upon, the Earl of Sharpington. A grand title that suits him well!
