00:00Well, I'm not from Chorley, but everyone who I talk about this, they know straight away Malcolm.

00:17Me and Malcolm become friends. He's booked me a few times, so it was nice his daughter got in

00:26contact and asked to put him on the window.

00:32I've done work for Malcolm before, you do a job for a customer and you get off, you can't

00:36do that with Malcolm because you're sat there talking to him for a good while and he becomes

00:41a mate.

00:42Yeah, I'm very happy, especially with people walking past and recognise him straight away,

00:47it's a plus.

00:48It took me about four hours to do this, four or five hours, something like that.

00:56I got given a photograph of Malcolm, so in fact, the thing they have to do is flip it,

01:02so I've actually worked back to front, same with the writing, keep doing tweaks here and

01:07there, get it as close to the picture as I can.

01:14So I'm using Snow Spray, we've got our own brand Snow Graffiti Spray and best out there,

01:20and I've got four portraits.

01:25My biggest ever one was, I did a Heathrow Airport, huge windows and that took two days.

01:32Funny enough, my biggest, hardest job was that one there.

01:36That should have took like four hours, it took two and a half days.

01:40I'd seen some of Scott's work and I thought, when I looked on his website, he'd never done

01:46anything like that, so I asked him if he could do it, I sent him an image and he said yes.

01:52And I thought, this is the best poster we could do for her.

01:59One gentleman last week asked me if he could buy the poster out of my window and I said,

02:05if you give me 600 for the window, I'll work out, I hadn't realised.

02:10It was Snow Spray, which shows how good that Scott's work is.

02:22Quite happy with it, it will be up here for a couple of months because people are coming

02:29and standing next to it to have a photograph taken, so it seems a pity to take it down.

02:35They loved it and that was only supposed to be up for about a month, two months.

02:39Malcolm loved it so much and the interaction from all passers-by, he kept it up.

03:00I know he liked it.

03:01He was always in a sense of attention, so I know he loved this.

03:05Not so much, I know he knew nothing but obviously he does.

03:06That's good.

03:07I know.

03:08자주azz 28.

03:09It was weird though, but if he wanted the former
