ABOUT
Hi, I'm Ben. This is Knowsey.
Knowsey Kid is a minimalistic, child-friendly character that combines real life with the beauty of imagination. Created as an extension of my own childhood, Knowsey is a gateway for parents to practise mindfulness and positivity with their children.
WHERE IT BEGINS
It started with a stickman.
Looking back, when we were kids, the first images we created were stickmen. They were our first interpretation of portraiture and movement, our way of expressing the human form. Such drawings date back thousands of years, etched into ancient caves and relics.
MEET KNOWSEY
The voice on my shoulder.
I wanted to combine my own values with the fantasy of my childhood, because Knowsey was my imaginary friend. He was the voice on my shoulder, the difference between right and wrong, and although I didn't always get it right, he was there.
THE ARTIST
Art, photography and design.
Alongside Knowsey, I paint, design and photograph. My original paintings are one-off works on canvas.
