How to arrange for Live caricature entertainment at an event

  • Call or email me with your dates and type of event.
  • We’ll discuss the style that’s best for your gathering.:
    • Digital for trade shows, conventions and high-tech companies
    • Colored Pencil for casual, outdoor events, or multiple faces on a drawing
  • I’ll write up an agreement with a request for 50% deposit

Providing photos

You may send prints via mail but it’s quicker to attach digital images to an email message.

.JPEG files are best, at a size and resolution that will allow detailed viewing on a monitor.

I am happy to help you prepare images. For a fine art portrait, I might suggest that you have professional photography.

Payment options

PayPal   PayPal.com is a fast, easy and secure way to make a payment for my artwork or services. It is the only way I can accept a credit card.

For Rhoda Draws A Crowd performances, final payment is due at the event, in cash or check.

Deposits, Refunds and Guarantee of satisfaction

Commissioned work (portraits, home portraits or custom caricatures from photos) requires a 50% deposit before the work begins, and payment of the balance on satisfactory completion of the artwork.

I will make all reasonable changes requested. If you are still not satisfied, I will refund all payments (except shipping charges, if any) For digital paintings, I will provide the high-resolution and/or printed version only after you are satisfied with the artwork.

Purchase of fine art: Payment in full plus shipping and insurance charges is required. I will refund purchase price if artwork is returned undamaged within 10 days.

For Rhoda Draws A Crowd bookings, if cancellation is made 30 days or more prior to the event, your deposit will be returned. The guarantee I offer to your guests or clients who sit for a live caricature: if they are not completely satisfied I will return the unused portion of their faces.
