Artist illustrates the strangest things ever spotted through a window

When we walk down a residential street, we can't help but peek inside the windows of people's homes. We know it's rude, but the cosy glow of a lamp will always spark our curiosity to sneak a cheeky look.

Now Dorset-based illustrator Paul Blow has illustrated six of the strangest things ever spotted through a window, including a woman who was "weighing her boob" and a woman walking "a guy on a leash wearing black leather!"

Commissioned by window blind manufacturer, English Blinds, as part of its research to reveal the most bizarre scenes its customers had seen through a window – Paul was asked to dream up everything from old men with owls on their heads, postmen using the garden as a toilet and grown men dressed as dogs – as some of the strangest things seen by us Brits.
