FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing in my field is more of setting a goal. I know if I do a wall mural and it is a 6ft by 8ft area, I can pretty much say $250 bucks and get it done in a day. Now if it is "Where's Waldo" type of mural and I have to paint 200 characters, it is going to take longer to draw it out. I feel very safe saying $250 a day plus materials. That is the goal I have. That isn't always the case. Some jobs you can bid on them and hope it takes you less time then reality lets you.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
DVD's and youtube. And teaching myself what I see in magazines. It is definitely a hands on trade.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been drawing since I was very little. I saw what an airbrush could do when I was in my early teens and wanted to be the one that made the car look cool, or the wall mural that makes you step back and look at!
