Express Bellies!!! (Pic heavy)

My new market just can't handle the prices for a highly detailed belly so I have simplified them into things I can paint in 10 minutes. It breaks my heart to pull back from the artistic side a bit, but I've gotta eat! LOL! These are done in my home and I only charge $35. I think it's a pretty good deal for me and the client. They are in my house for 20 minutes tops and I walk away with an extra $35.

Looks great! I do the exact same thing at baby expos. You can't take an hour to paint someone during a demonstration on stage, or at your booth, but you can take ten minutes and charge significantly cheaper.

Pretty work...and creative financing!

here in my area in the netherlands, they aren't even willing to pay the 60 euro (about 90 $) for a normal belly..(1,5-2 hours)

maybe I should do this too..

Criss, would you mind sharing some photos of your expo bellies?

Michelle, I'll update after I've marketed them a lot and let you know if it helped to bring in some more clientele.

thanks, Whitney!

Good idea!! Bigger market in tough economy!!

Nice!
