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

mamagogo1 · 23/11/2025 09:49

Amazing, I’d love that on my window

Not sure if this is just a joke but, just in case - Rupert the Bear has a pretty longstanding association with Christmas in the UK.

Rupert the Bear Christmas annuals date back to the 30s and, although Christmas annuals do have a longer history than that, earlier characters haven't maintained any cultural relevance.

Show quote history

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.

I have just watched your video on TikTok and was blown away. Your husband should definitely start charging for his talent.

Mcoco · 23/11/2025 09:36

Following on tik tok now

DarkRootsBlue · 23/11/2025 09:28

So good! Amazing he did them freehand.

BeardOToots · 23/11/2025 09:10

He could definitely charge for these. I know lots of people who paint Christmas windows and they are all overbooked. I’m a signwriter and graphic artist, I do the odd one, did one yesterday and it worked out around £50ph.
The nice thing about his is that they are a little different, they aren’t painted with signpainters enamel (slow, expensive), or chalk pens. The fact he did them in 3 hours is great too, I’ve seen lots of lovely amateur stuff when out and about, then when I ask it turns out it took someone 2 days to do something that would have taken me 15 mins 😂

Its all freehand, I took a video of him doing it but it’s to big to upload onto here, it’s on my TikTok.

I've just spent s very happy 20 minutes watching all your tiltok. Absolutely enchanting. I fancy having a go at something simple myself now. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, my retired, male neighbour does this type of thing every year for a local Special Needs School.

He has no artistic training but uses stencils. Is that what your husband used?

You should be so proud. He has done an amazing job. I personally wouldn't pay because we only have a little bungalow but I am sure that shops, nurseries, schools etc would love to put his talent to use

It’s all done free hand and it’s done from the inside. He did Rupert because he was my childhood favourite.

Bowies · 23/11/2025 05:57

Does he do them from imagination/memory OP?

It’s been a long since since I saw Rupert and friends…

Why, is it Rupertmas?

He's not Banksy is he??? Fantastic!

marmalade007 · 23/11/2025 01:09

I'm being thick, but those are on the outside right? So he does it in reverse? Anyway they are gorgeous . My fave is the snowman scene. Lucky him to have such talent!

Thanks everyone, I can’t get the video of him doing it to upload onto here. Started a Tik Tok and it’s on there if anyone wants to see.

I’m going to post the timeline videos of him doing it on Tik Tok, there are hundreds of people doing this sort of thing already on Tik Tok but only one who I’ve seen that seems to have got himself a massive following.

Ah, right.
I'm not big on Tiktok.
It would just be a shame if his work was plagiarised.

Art is an enjoyable hobby to him and I think he’d rather keep it that way.

Really? I sound mercenary probably but if he can do those Rupert characters in a few hours he could earn some nice Christmas money.
Even if you could manage to get an actual video of him doing it, that could potentially earn.
Otherwise (and, again, I'm cynical) others could probably produce templates from those pictures you're putting up.
Even Banksy uses templates.

YANBU, they’re really lovely. He should define start a side hustle with a view to local Christmas deca domination. They’re ace.

The Snowman from last Christmas. He also started a Grinch one but wasn’t happy with it and never finished it, I’ll post that too.

Sadworld23 · 22/11/2025 23:41

Brilliant.
Post the pics on your local FB group and wait for the requests to roll in.

A side hustle maybe for xmas spends.
A career maybe tricky.

PatThePenguin · 22/11/2025 23:36

Oh my, he's ridiculously talented OP!

My friend's son does similar but he draws them into damp sand on the beach.

He's done loads of famous people like Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth and even an image of the last supper!

He uses a VR headset though so he's looking at the images while sketching them into the sand.
