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

Really impressive, not seen anything like this before 🤩

Greycatclub · 22/11/2025 06:20

Hey OP, we have ours done. Cost we pay is £70 per hour and our large (floor to ceiling almost) bag window takes 2-3 hours

whattheysay · 22/11/2025 06:35

He is amazingly talented. Many people or business would pay for this on their window. I have seen seasonal window artists advertise on Facebook and they are nowhere near as talented as your husband.

MapBringsJoy · 22/11/2025 06:37

Love this!

Why have you marked your photos as sensitive? Do you think the MN population is too left wing to cope with Rupert and his friends?😄

The window is really lovely - he’s very talented.
Is Rupert the Bear right wing though? I’ve always seen him as pretty apolitical - if anything maybe slightly to the left.

MyDeftDuck · 22/11/2025 07:00

I know people who pay a great deal of money every year to have their windows decorated for Christmas. Your DH is very talented and could potentially earn some serious cash leading up to Christmas but he has to want to do it, there’s no pleasure in being pressured to use a talent in that way…….hope that makes sense and I don’t mean to be unkind.

Talk to him and see how he feels……then consider approaching local shops, businesses, and tell your friends……who in turn will tell theirs etc.

TimeForATerf · 22/11/2025 07:08

I love the Rupert bear one! Very clever. I’m Mrs Grinch, so I wouldn’t pay, I’m pushed to put a tree up these days, but what a talent!

BastardtheCat · 22/11/2025 07:48

Dear me! He’s amazing!

OnToast81 · 22/11/2025 08:30

Thanks everyone, I’ll definitely take a video of him doing his friends window today. He’s really pleased with your comments.
I’ve always known that he can draw a good picture on paper but even he is surprised at how lovely this creation is.

Fabulous stuff, he should pursue this! Or at least have a happy making sideline every Xmas!

Don't like the elephant one. Weird.

Poor Edward Trunk.
Mind you, those Rupert characters go back a long way, not surprised not everyone recognises them.
How's the video of your friend's Paddington ouevre coming along, @OnToast81 ?

Just on our way to hers now, I’ll post it once it’s done.

He’s a very talented artist

I am generally open these "isn't my xxx so talented" threads with a sense of foreboding, but hats off to him, that is both really beautiful and incredibly tasteful. A hard mix to pull off for Christmas. If I was a local business I would so pay for that

Exactly this - usually these threads are a cringefest but he is seriously talented!

Not my cup of tea for my own home, but I'd bite his hand off if I had a high-street business or similar.

What a lovely gift to have, as well - I'd love to be able to draw.

Itsnaptime · 22/11/2025 17:02

Love this.... Not only has he done an awesome thing and has great skill it's lovely to see a post where no man is being slated and is actually appreciated ❤️

fussychica · 22/11/2025 17:22

Really talented.
Might be worth putting something on your town FB page if you have one. I sure lots of businesses would be interested in having a bespoke window design.

LaMarschallin · 22/11/2025 17:24

So looking forward to the video. I can't begin to see how it works (I know: how to tell you I'm not artistic without saying I'm not artistic - I'm totally not)

Partypants83 · 22/11/2025 17:51

These are great!
What a talented chap you have there!

Brilliant and so festive in a very cool and artistic way!! 😊Possibly post on Facebook and Instagram to start with and see what if any reaction he gets? 🤔

Sharptonguedwoman · 22/11/2025 17:56

Wow!

Paperinthewashingmachine · 22/11/2025 18:01
