FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $130 an hour for traditional caricatures, and $180 an hour for digital caricatures, with a two hour minimum. Traditional caricatures are drawn on 11X14' size paper. Digital caricatures are drawn on an iPad and projected onto a video monitor in real time. Each customer receives a printout and a digital file sent to his or her phone, both on the spot. I can draw about 14 caricatures an hour black and white, or 10 an hour in color.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After I speak to them, or correspond with them through e-mail, for the details of the party. I then send them an invoice for 25% of the estimated bill, to retain the date. This is done through Zelle. I also send a contract by e-mail, which they fill out and e-mail back to me. The remainder of the payment is due the day of the event, by cash or check.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied applied arts and design
