Frequently Asked Questions
How much do you charge?
My rate is $125 an hour with a $250 minimum for the Nashville area.
What style and media do you work in?
I draw caricatures using black permanent markers and Prisma Color Artstix for color. I have also been known to draw with 3mm graphite lead holder with a blending stump for shading effects.
How long does a caricature drawing take?
It takes about 5 to 7 minutes for each individual person in Black & White. Color doubles the time for one drawing.
What size paper do you use for caricatures?
I draw on 12” x 16” 80lb cardstock paper.
How many people can you draw per page?
I can draw up to 5 people in one drawing.
Can you draw from photos?
It is possible, but I would discourage it at an event due to the fact that it can slow the process down. Photos tend to take longer because they are two dimensional as opposed to a live subject.
I have an event with a large number of guests. Will you be able to draw everyone?
For larger events I can provide multiple artists in order get as many of your guests drawn as possible.
Do I need to provide anything at the event?
I will need two to three armless chairs and a fairly well lit area. With advanced notice I can provide my own light as long as I am set up near a power outlet. Also, it is preferable to have some sort of shelter if the event is outdoors.
What areas do you serve?
I serve Nashville, TN (2 hour minimum) Chattanooga, TN (3 hour minimum) Knoxville, TN (3 hour minimum) Memphis, TN (3 hour minimum) Bowling Green, KY (2 hour minimum) Lexington, KY (4 hour minimum) Louisville, KY (3 hour minimum) Atlanta, GA (4 hour minimum) Birmingham, AL (3 hour minimum) Huntsville, AL (3 hour minimum.)
Anywhere outside of these areas or events that are below the minimum hourly requirement may require additional travel charges.
