FAQ
Ben’s presentation consists not only of a powerful, inspiring message, but also of a live, and rapid creation of a beautiful drawing on a canvas that measures 6×8 feet that he calls Speedscaping. He doesn’t speak while drawing – he’s moving too fast to do that. The drawing is accompanied by beautiful and moving music with the house lights down and a spotlight on the canvas. It’s fun to see the drawing come to life!
A typical presentation is 45-60 minutes long. Ben is very flexible and can adjust his programing to fit any time frame. That said, you want to allot a minimum of 25 minutes for him to speak and do the drawing.
Yes!
We require the client to build the frame and stretch the canvas ahead of Ben’s arrival. Here are simple directions and diagram, to help do this quickly and pain-free. Ben brings the “legs” to which the frame will be attached if he is driving. If he is flying, he asks to be provided additional lumber so he can build the legs when he arrives. The details of exactly what is needed is listed in his Rider.
Assuming that the frame is ready as required and all other A/V/Set-up needs have been met, Ben can be set up and ready to go in about 30 minutes.
The total cost of all supplies is between $150-160 per frame and drawing legs.
Yes. Ben’s program coordinator will happily pencil in a date if available while finalizing the details of an event. If another client is interested in booking for the same date, you will have 48 hours to make a firm decision, one way or another, on the date.
Ben’s presentation can be recorded only for non-commercial/non-distribution purposes. Selling or making multiple copies of the recording is not permissible. If a recording is made, a copy will need to be provided to our office.
Ben strongly encourages the purchase of a large piece of lucite or plexiglass and drilling it directly onto the frame on which the drawing is stretched. No spacers are necessary. A professional framing job is always a great way to go, but is unfortunately very expensive. The drawing can be hung as is, if hung where people won’t be able to touch it and in a location which avoids drafts.
