    Use LinkedIn. There are a ton of ad agencies on there, even direct companies if you think you're up for the task. Look up some of the folks that do the hiring/outsourcing (like talent sourcing folks, internal recruiters, or CD's). Just be polite and ask if you'd like to connect and if they have any projects that you would be suitable for.

    Search Craigslist: Believe it or not, a lot of the big agencies make posts on here. I'd use one of the search tools where you can search multiple cities.

    Say hi to some of your old clients. A lot of times you hear from a potential client but nothing comes out of it. You don't email them and they don't email you for like 2 years. Shoot them an email just to say hi and give a refresher. You never know. They may have something for you.

    You've got serious skills, I'm sure someone could use you.
