I know it’s early but I left my husband for a few hours yesterday, two cans of snow spray and asked him to do something nice with it on our front room window.. Came home to this, amazing stuff I think. Should I start pimping him out, would you pay for this, how much? If

Absolutely amazing.wow! So talented
I just happened to come across someone doing snow spray pictures on instagram recently and I loved watching him but they weren't even near as good as your husband's. Let us know the link or instagram page or whatever if he decides to set one up. I would definitely watch/follow . He so should, they are amazing. I always find watching talented artists amazing .

Here we go, Rupert the Bear was keeping George Micheal and Live Aid company in the 80s, you can’t get more Christmassy than that!

Bob The Builder was number one at Christmas in 2000. Is Bob The Builder a Christmas icon?

I don’t know, it said the same when I added them!

Maybe because they’re bear???

They are wonderful ❤️

Gucci1 · 24/11/2025 18:02

Just to clarify this was my window, that my long standing friend, who I work with in an office did this art. My son filmed him doing it! So all you people saying it is stencil or his full time career, I can assure you it is not! Yes he is extremely talented!!!

Squirrel60 · 24/11/2025 17:26

Husband, you are a genius! I LOVE it!

Allseeingallknowing · 24/11/2025 16:44

OP can we see some of his other work Don’t use TikTok!

TreeDudette · 24/11/2025 16:08

Can he do "Grandma got run over by a reindeer"? I'd pay for that!! :)

This is very much my pov. As an amateur artist myself with similar friends. I would have thought this is clearly the work of a professionally trained artist, if not done via template

It's a bit hard to believe the DH has only just discovered this talent, but we have to take the OP at face value. If she says he only just started it, and realises he has a gift for it, we can do little other than believe her. I mean, I can't see why she would lie. If she wanted to advertise her husband's talents and 'gift' for this, (and knew he could do it already,) she would surely have just said 'please can I share my talented husband's pics with you all?!' So maybe he has only just discovered it.........

Anyway, whatever... he's very good @OnToast81 Thanks for sharing! Grin

He could, There is a guy on Tik Tok already who has 25 million followers and has now produced his own brand of Snow Spray. His creations are all well known people/characters, He has done Home Alone, Mariah Carey, The Muppets ect.

Well, all the best to him! 😍

Gossipisgood · 24/11/2025 15:00

Your husband sure does have an amazing talent. If he enjoys it he could volunteer to do Nurseries, Schools Etc & charge for materials only then if he enjoys it so much he could branch out & do it to earn a bit of extra cash in the lead up to holiday periods. I'd def pay, they're beautiful.

So he's suddenly discovered this talent?
I know I'm going to sound horrid because my DH can't create beautiful pictures on windows (fear not - I love him despite that and he's very rich anyway ) but it's crossing my mind that this may be the beginning of an advert.
Sorry, @OnToast81 , if it's not and you just wanted to share his brilliance for free.
In which case, thank you 😊

I imagine its technically illegal but its civil (not criminal) and the rights-holder is very unlikely to sue. Most cake decorators likely don't hold license agreements with various major publishers, but will decorate to order.

Thanks for sharing the TikTok page @OnToast81 Your husband is indeed very talented. The images are fab!

Only concern (as some posters have said) is that if he keeps publicising himself and the images, or tries to take money for them. he could be in trouble from the original creators of the characters of the images. As someone said it's to do with the 'copywright.'

The work is great though. He has a gift! Could he work on creating his own characters? Smile

Rupert the Bear!

FairWarning · 24/11/2025 02:51

Yes, get him advertised, you could earn some extra monies.

He has talent and skill.

NaiceEagle · 24/11/2025 00:37

He IS extremely talented.
As someone said, spray snow is not the easiest art media to use .
I don't like the word 'pimp' but if he wanted to he is gifted enough to use his art skills for money or free for charities.

I know who Rupert Bear is. He was in the Daily Express all through the year for decades and has had various TV shows broadcast through the year over those decades. His adventures take place all through the year.

The Beano Book dates back to the 1940s but no-one's spraying Minnie the Minx across their windows because it's Christmassy.

Again - Rupert the Bear has a longstanding cultural connection with Christmas. Minnie the Minx does not.

The second ever Rupert story (published in 1920) was Christmas-themed, and Christmas-based stories have been a recurring feature of his stories, since.

Illustrations from his Christmas stories (like the ones OP's DH is recreating) have appeared on Christmas cards for decades.

I was never a fan of the Rupert stories, so it's not a connection that means anything to me, personally, but its a "thing". I received Rupert-themed Christmas cards as a child, and my grandparents had an old, Rupert tree ornament.
