The remaining amount and any additional charges are due on the day of the event. Client must pay for a minimum of 1 hour even if Client uses Artist for less than 1 hour. Only booked times with deposits are guaranteed, and the date isn’t considered booked until the deposit clears the bank.

Please leave a space open in front of the house on the street, the driveway, or a loading dock so the Artist can unload equipment. The Client will reimburse the Artist for any parking fees.

 SUGGESTED TIME ALLOTED PER EVENT:

For private parties: 

1-12 = 1 hour

13-18 = 1 1/2 hours

19-24 = 2 hours

25-30 = 2 1/2 hours

31-36 = 3 hours

37-42 = 3 1/2 hours

43- 48 = 4 hours

 

For high traffic/corporate events I can paint very simple designs up to 30 kids an hour. This is approximately 2 minutes per child, which includes time in my chair and time they get up and sit down. Please keep this in mind when booking me for your event.

 

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

• I cannot bend time and paint more children than an hour permits. For example, it is not possible to paint 200 kids in 2 hours (do the math).

• I have been told by many that I am very fast, but I can only do what is humanly possible. Please take that into consideration. And no, cheek art does not make it quicker. In many ways, it actually takes longer for detailed images on a cheek. 

•  I will arrive 15-20 minutes before start time, and tear down after the time ends. 

• If you expect me to set up earlier than 20 minutes, (ex. an hour before), you will be charged for the additional time.
