Not much going on in OC. I moved away. Honestly, its pretty sucky for artist unless your Wyland the wale artist. OC is full of Bro's that drive 4X4's with a giant over sized sticker that says something cleave like "No Friends Clothing" or " Yeah its big" (all in tribal)
As far as agencies there is Juxt, Fuse, Young & Rubicam... I think that is about it. Do your self a favor and at least move to Long Beach where you in between Los Angeles and OC/San Diego

I work in the artist village here in Santa Ana, really fun area ..doesnt feel like OC. Alot of nice artsy apartment communities, cafes, good restaurants and its got an east coast city vibe to it.
Juxt has a sweet warehouse in a great area on the Newport/Costa Mesa line, next to everything, even the beach.
If your single, and coming from NYC, you might find south county boring and lame..

Leave NY for OC? That's like going from Walt Disney World to a local, 1980's-era mall.

i agree 100% with this. OC blows, im from San Diego and lived in OC for 2 years. I couldnt take it, im sorry but OC people live in this would where ugly chicks think they are hot and dressing like a fag with a pink shirt is the way to go.
the design is ok, but it only looks like OC design. if you try to bring in some other design style it wont hit.
Long Beach is the place to be Tons of design, great music, good looking gals. everything a young lad could want!
i live in the Art District in downtown, very coooool ;)

sup crew! *waves from minneapolis
I also wasn't a fan of OC when i was there. It's way too suburban for my taste but i did meet some really cool people/friends so it was a good experience. The guys at juxt are all really cool and so is the studio space....as long as someone hasn't turned the damn AC down again! : )
anyway, places to go (in no real order): The Lab, Detroit, Avalon, Mosun, Beach Pit barbeque, Fashion Island, Laguna Beach crystal cove, Balboa, huntington beach, Big Bear.
As tgp said also, a place that you can go to the beach and then ride 30 minutes and be in the mountains is pretty damn sweet! the only bad part of that is you have to drive through 30 minutes of strip malls!!
holla!
