im looking into doing some freelance work for some magazines, but im having trouble finding a lot of the art directors numbers/email addresses. is there a certain place i should look? call? email? any help would be appreciated.

look them up in the masthead and call asking for them.

yeah, i tried that one with robert festino at espn the magazine but the number they have listed is just about subscription info. so that kind of sucked.

Robert's a nice guy - worked with him several times.

wow, loving the 2006 work, arthur. stunning.
did robert contact you? or did you contact him? im new to this game :/

He saw my work in another publication and contacted me while I was on vacation in Mexico a few months back. That's not much help to you.
When I was first contacting magazines years ago, I looked in the mastheads for contact info. It's not always going to be there. Let's say you find that the AD's name is Bill Smith but no number or email address. Go online and do a search for or and try to find out their email naming protocol. I find it works more times than not. Hint: Epsn the Mag's email addresses end in "espn3.com" No one would ever guess that.

thanks for the advice, arthur. im definitely going to try that.
and it is pretty weird that espn the mag is espn3.

You could try http://www.adbase.com
It's a little pricey, but there are other listings like that out there free or cheap. But probably not as up to date.
