Hi all,
I’ve been commissioned to build a LEGO sculpture for the
Kalamazoo Air Zoo, and I have no clue what to charge
for my services. I’ll be getting the whole thing (unglued) back afterwards,
so I feel I can’t charge full price for materials, and I’ll be spending a
day (April 29th, for those who want to stop in) building it onsite, but
again I don’t know what to charge.

Here’s a thought: do it for free. After all, this is a hobby and it sounds
like it would be a fun event. The exposure and publicity would be a form of
compensation too.

Altho I respect the idea of doing it for free, if you decide that route be sure
to make sure the Museum does re-imburse your expenses like gas, food, etc.
Doing stuff for free is good, but doing it for expense (ie, you have to pay to
be there) isn’t good, and it won’t hurt them that much to pay for minor stuff
like gas and food.
But honestly, I’d recommend asking for pay - if you do it for free, they’ll
think perhaps you’ll do it for free next time. Asking for money will let them
know that what you’re doing is some trouble to yourself, and will make them
respect it more.
But either way, congrats on the gig!
-Lenny
