Send Ruben what you want painted, how big it is, where it is and a few photos, through the quote form, the chat or a call. Ruben quotes every job himself, usually within one business day. Every quote comes from Ruben himself.

Most murals run $15–$20 per sq ft. The full range is $12–$25 per sq ft, depending on detail, so a simple graphic costs less per square foot than a detailed, photoreal scene. Send the wall's width and height and Ruben will price it.

Small, intricate work is billed at $100/hr plus materials. Ruben estimates the hours from your design and confirms the total with your quote.

Yes. 50% deposit to book. The deposit books your job once you've seen and approved the sketch.

Send photos and ideas, get a quick sketch, pay the deposit, get progress photos as it's painted. You see the design before any paint goes on, and you see the work as it comes together.

Every piece is different, so Ruben gives you a date with your quote. Need it by a date? Say so up front and Ruben will tell you honestly if it can be done.

Yes, please do. Photos of the surface as it is now, plus any images you like the look of, are the fastest way to a good sketch. For logos, team marks or characters, tell Ruben what you have in mind and he'll talk it through with you.

Interior and exterior walls and ceilings, helmets, motorcycle tanks and fenders, car and truck panels, jet skis, canvas and board, rollerblades and skates, and painted props, including 3D prints. If it holds paint, ask.

Yes: restaurants, bars, storefronts, lobbies and offices. For exterior walls on a rented building, you'll need written permission from the property owner before the work starts.

Yes. Ruben airbrushes live at parties and corporate events, and paints weddings and events live, finishing the piece in his studio afterwards. Bookings come in 2-hour, 4-hour and full-day lengths; ask for pricing for your date.

Painted on site, dropped off, or shipped. Murals and events are painted where they are. Helmets, bike parts and smaller pieces come to Ruben by appointment or by mail.

Yes. Once the design and deposit are settled, Ruben tells you where to send it, and ships it back when it's finished. Pack it well and use a tracked service.
