I love you with all my art.
I run a picture frame shop, but do all types of art and craft disciplines, including face painting. I have designs for children and adults. I've been face painting for over 30 years. Back when I started, not many people were doing face painting. Now, it's sometimes hard to get into a show because of the number of face painters.
I paint large and splashy. The kids love it, and and since I paint fast, I can keep my prices low. Give me a show with lots of kids, and I can paint them up. I do the face, arms, legs, anything exposed including the bad head of some of the men. I also do stage props, like knife stabs, bullet holes, cuts and bruises. I usually charge $3.00 to $5.00 for the kids and $3 to $10 on adults, depending on what they want. Props vary depending on design. They take longer and include more supplies.
I usually ask the child what they want, and if I can see it in my mind's eye, I will paint that for them. So, mostly everything I turn out is a one of a kind, but I do have many designs that I repeat.
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Face painter need to enjoy children, especially, if it is a children's event.
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

I can bring my own set up, but it is nice if the consumer has a table available.
