Can I pay with a Credit Card?

We will then request that through PayPal for you. We can not take payments over the phone at this time.
Can I get a refund/credit or make a change to my event?
- EVENTS: All payments are final. Cancellations, rescheduling or changes to your event for any reason will require a new payment without credit of any other payments made by you. In some cases, (event date must be 60 days away) if your contracted artist is available, we can reschedule & credit payments you have made. If the artist(s) are unable to perform as scheduled, we will substitute another artist from our team. If your event date has passed a 100% refund of all payments made by you will be issued the next business day.
- CUSTOM ARTWORK: All payments are final. If you want to change options after payment is made, this will require a new payment without credits or refunds of any payments made.
How much space does an artist need at my event?
- Each artist will need a minimum of 6ft x 6ft.
What do I need to provide for the artist at my event?
- 3 chairs & a power outlet at least 10ft from the drawing area (for lighting purposes if needed). Each artist will have a lamp in case it is to dark for them to see their subjects. No table is required.
What if I need the artist to stay longer than contracted?
- If the artist is able, overtime charges will be prorated in ½ hour increments at the compensation agreed upon rate. Overtime payment must be given to the artist at the conclusion of the event in cash or check payable to SATIRICAL EFFECT.

We find that at least 80-90% of guests will want to get drawn. We can't guarantee the artist will be able to stay longer than scheduled.
If Mac is not available can you send another artist?
