How I charge:

For several years now, I have billed by dayrate (contact me for the specific figure). I feel strongly that I am a good value for the money, both in terms of speed and of quality. I consider a day to be 8 hours of actual work and the hours after that I count as overtime hours and bill at 150% of my hourly rate. Weekend and holiday days are 150% of normal days. For overnight rush jobs (working the hours between 10pm and 8am) I will charge 200% of my hourly rate. Except in special cases (at my call) I have a half-day minimum Fee. Please email me with specific questions.

Working on site:

I live in New York City and have often worked on site. I enjoy the interpersonal experience. But as we move forward into the digital age I have experienced an increase in jobs that have been completely executed over the phone and internet. The computer has become an integral part of my final delivery. And with color storyboards it is absolutely necessary. I only color on the computer because of its flexibility to make quick changes. However, I do enjoy working on site as well.

The deal with “holds” and “books”:

Well, I generally conform to common practice (here in New York). A client can put me on “hold” for a date or dates. This is non-binding thing, a courtesy, really: it just means that I’ll attempt to contact you before I take another job for that day. A “book” on the other hand, is a mutual commitment: I agree to set aside the given day for your project; you agree to be subject to a “kill fee” (equal to 50% dayrate) if you cancel.
