"I earn £1k-a-day spraying snow designs on windows"
- 4 months ago
An artist who creates intricate festive window designs using spray snow has been dubbed the "Bob Ross" of glass art.
Scott Wilcock, 36, is paid to create stunning designs and even portraits on windows - and has everyone from TV stars to Warner Brothers in his client books.
Scott's diary is completely booked up every day from October to December and he works 12-hour days to fulfill festive snow window commissions.
Each one costs at least £300 and is completely unique.
Scott says snow spray art is his "passion" and he "never gets tired" because he loves it so much.
The dad-of-three, from Wigan, Greater Manchester, said: "I go to the customer's house, not even knowing what they want - and I come up with something.
"I love the challenge - I used to have anxiety turning up with no plan or stencils but I love building the design.
"People ask 'are you not tired?' when I go from one job to the next but I just love it, I don't get tired when I'm doing art."
Scott has always loved art but only turned professional in 2020, when he ditched his 17-year job as a mechanic.
His business, Snow Graffiti, is now so successful his wife, Melissa Wilcock, 34, also works full time arranging bookings and working behind the scenes.
He's completed designs on the homes of Love Island's Kady McDermott and Hollyoaks' Gemma Atkinson, as well as collaborating on projects with Nickelodeon, Warner Brothers and Coors Light.
Out of winter season he is commissioned to create wall murals and window art using spray paints - but says snow art is his "passion".
He said: "I love it, especially the snow art. I'm just so passionate about it.
"Around Christmas I'll do four windows a day - and each one is around three hours.
"I only had chance to do my own house today - I did a tribute to Shane MacGowan.
"But of them all, the ones I really look forward to are the emotional ones - like when I painted someone's mother.
"When the customer comes in you can see on their faces how much it means to them."
When he shares his creations online, people comment about how therapeutic and soothing his videos are, so Scott and Melissa support mental health awareness causes.
They have even released free tutorials on the website.
He added: "I get so many lovely messages from people who have done the tutorials.
"Or if I do a window then see people walk past and look at it, it puts a smile on my face."
