Welcome luo!!! Where you coming from??? Currently freelancing in Toronto which is very dry currently (sadly).
What are you looking for and I can give you some leads homey...
It was pretty nice until 2 weeks ago when temperatures got below 0 and what not...

another under-qualified person touting themselves as an art director. l-tothefuckin-o-tothefuckin-l.
you should probably lose all the childish shite on the port as well. unless you enjoy designin for play-dough and shite. your logo is going to throw a lot of people off.
im not trying to be mean, but i think you shuld seriously reconsider several elements of your site if your trying to acclimate to a new area.
- 1. STFU.
2. GTFO
3. ???
4. QBN profits.dMullins - Cheers for the feedback. Haven't tried to call myself and art director & will be applying for designer positions - have been given the chance to take over art direction on certain projects i've worked on, and i've started where.luo
- able to take over art direction on certain projects that i've worked on - an i've stated where.luo

what why don't you get a clue is trying to say... and poorly at that, is that you should lose all sense of your own personality and be miserable like he is, carry on

Welcome to TO, luo.
Don't listen to dropdown — he reckons anywhere without mountains and fresh powder is boring. ;)
If you've got no leads you could try a recruiter / agent / head-hunter to get you through the winter, there are a bunch in town. For junior / intermediate designers I think it's been pretty quiet this year for freelancing.
Best of luck!

Hey Luo,
As a fellow Dubliner living in the TDot (thats what the rappers call it here) welcome. I moved here a year and a half ago. Great city, although I live in the burbs so I don't really know what the night life is like. Lots of work if you get off your arse and look for it. I used to work for Detail.. who did you work for back home?
P.S.
"Double Doubles from Timmys" will keep you warm.

Cheers for all the replies -- yeah i need to get me a giant coat, cant believe it's only going to get colder, what have i got myself into ha.
@Cenitgrade Was working for Cybercom in Dublin for the last two years, where used you work back home? Liking the city so far anways. Double Doubles from Timmys??
- Don't do it, luo. It's a coffee with two creams and two sugars. Tastes like a melted milkshake...pylon
