you mean like a headhunter or an actual agent from an agency that finds you work?
- Atkinson0
yeah, someone to find me some work, at the moment I'm doing 5 jobs, none of which are secure so I'd like to spend more time doing what I enjoy - secure or not!
- joyride0
nope sorry, i don't know anyone!
Good luck though

an artist's rep

Well I'm not in the UK but I've worked with a few agencies in the past.
They take a piece of your cash and charge a fee to the people who 'hire' you.
With the market for designers picking up fast I'm not sure many companies will go through an agent anymore seeing as how they have to pay extra to go through one.
You might be better off partnering with another designer, or a coder or something.
Good luck.

Meet with an Aquent recruiter.

hmm yeah I guess, it's more for drawings / illustrations I'm after though. So I suppose what I should have said is an Illustration agency!
- Rand0
I think they're called artist's reps
- Atkinson0
yeah, an artists' rep. Or who ever, just someone to find some work. I'm getting a lot of 'bits' at the moment but a steadier flow would be nice, but then a lot of things would be nice!

agent in dutch means cop.
pronounced totally different though.
- Rand0
there are millions of artist's reps... find one with a stable of artists you like and see if they will take you on
- Atkinson0
Yeah, I'm looking around. I'm trrying to stay away from the 'pay us $1000 for an ad in our book' ones too!

isn't it working for you?
you sounded like the guy who got his stuff going - and happy.
if you're aiming for bigger earnings, you know you gotta go into advertising.
- Atkinson0
No, I'm happy, no point not being. I'm just having an evening of panic thinking I must get a more secure job or stream of clients. Tomorrow I will be thinking I like what I'm doing etc etc...But on the off chance if anyone knows any good agents! Stuff's good at the moment, just thinking forward a bit, just incase...
- Witt0
well, i'm not really the one to say what people should do or shouldn't do, but i was hoping that people like you could still be free of all this maniacal bend-to-the-job thing.
and looking forward...
... yeah...
i know what you mean...
... i guess you're right.
good luck. i really like your work.
- Atkinson0
Thanks Witt. Looking forward's crap but I think sometimes you have to just to piss your self off!
- Witt0
no doubt.
* looks inside for piss.
* wtf?!
- Atkinson0
haha, maybe it's an English expression? It means to annoy ones self!
- Witt0
ahah. fine.
whatever you do: keep the edge in your work.
wish you godspeed.
