How much would you charge to paint this logo on a 2.5x2.5 feet domino table?

I'm wondering how much I should charge for this painting. This is a sketch I originally did for my friend, now he wants this same logo painted on a 2.5x2.5 feet domino table so he could stain the table and play dominoes on it later. Here is the logo:

Sometimes I'm not sure... I don't wanna charge too much or charge too little. What's an appropriate price to charge for this?
or even a price range would be good.

You alread have a good answer here. And a domino table is going to be treated really roughly. You, or he, is going to have to put a lot of poly to seal the design. If you really want to do it for him, tell him to get a sheet of plexiglass for the top.

The artwork is okay, the workmanship is still very un-professional. This is a colored pencil drawing, so my first question to you is do you have any experience in wet media? Second, is the top of the table wooden, or the thick paper stock covered with plastic many 'card tables' (or domino tables) are made from. If you are wanting to be a professional fine artist someday, I'd tell him the drawing is not to be 'changed' and not to use it. If you are just a teenager, then I'd tell you to charge your friend $50 plus the cost of the paints and brushes ... and tell him not to 'stain' the table, but to use varnish or shellac on the edges and let YOU use 'artist's fixative spray' on the painting itself. The total cost can be quite high, since it's going on a table and you are going to need to use artist's acrylics and acrylic thinner and use several coats to get the 'blending' you want from your drawing.

Do they have stencils that you can use to paint a logo on hardwood flooring? Raps! Painting 0 02-27-2008 09:44 PM
