The Wigan artist making amazing jubilee murals across the country

A talented artist from Wigan has been adorning shop fronts with beautiful tributes to the Queen in celebration of her platinum jubilee. Scott Wilcock, 34, runs a window art company called Snow Graffiti and he has been transforming large windows of town centre shops in the UK with photos of the Queen.

Using spray cans of fake snow, Scott has created pieces of art showing the Queen both in recent days and in her younger years ahead of the four day bank holiday. Every window was commissioned with Scott decorating shop fronts in Stockton Heath, Altrincham, York, Harrogate, Wolverhampton, Newcastle and Gosforth.

Frontman for the band Queen, Freddie Mercury, even makes a cheeky appearance in one shop front as well as another of Her Majesty rocking a cool pair of sunglasses on a Toni and Guy shop window. Arguably the most impressive of Scott's windows shows the Queen with her crown jewels surrounded by three roaring lions and standing in front of a throne akin to that of The Iron Throne from hit TV show 'Game of Thrones'.

Scott, who lives in Wigan with Melissa, 32, and two daughters, Maisie, eight, and Alice, five, said: "I'm very passionate about my work. "Every one of the windows were commissioned, most of them being for Toni&Guy.

The project is to celebrate the Queen's jubilee (SWNS)

"Clifford Saunt got in contact and asked for a simple coin version of the queen. I soon talked her round to having a realistic version and she was blown away with the finished piece. "The Game of Thrones window was designed by myself with the Queen sat on the Iron Throne with three lions.

"I have put my all in to each design, working late hours and skipping food just to spend more time on each piece."
