Q: What are your rates? A: See the Booking Info. page for current rates.
Q: How much for pre printed paper?
A: $25.00 for 50 sheets simple text and clipart design.
Q: How many people can you draw per hour?
A: Eric Melton produces approx:
16-20 people per hour in black and white head and shoulders. (one face every 3 to 5 minutes)
6-8 persons per hour with full body cartoon (one full body cartoon every 6 to 10 minutes Q: Your already booked for the date I wanted, is there anyone you can recommend? A: There are other professional artists listed on the Links page along with other resources such as party planners and D.J's.
Q: Can you hold a date for me?
A: Contract and deposit holds your date. A
request for a date places it under "temporary hold" This hold is good
for 10 business days to allow time for contract and deposit to be
completed and mailed.
Once deposit and contract are received the date is marked as "held" and booking is guaranteed. Q: what if I pay a deposit and have to cancel my date? A:
As a general rule deposits are non refundable. Any deposit made can be
applied to another date if it is available or another service such as a
Gift Caricature.
If a cancellation happens far enough in advance and the date is booked by another client then a refund of deposit can be given.
.Q: I don't have budget for your hourly rate, can you just come to my event and charge per picture?
A: If schedule allows I do offer an option where I charge you a discounted hourly rate and charge a small fee to guests.
Email for more details.
Q: I want to pre sell your sketches to my guests and use that money to pay you, is this acceptable?
A:
NO! My rates are BY THE HOUR, not PER PICTURE and I do not recommend
you pre sell pictures to guests because if I do not get to draw everyone
then they will be quite upset.
