my last studio gig WOULD have been a dream job...
... the boss 'made' us play and experiment... there were even full-blown 'art' days were some of the guys just showed up and painted... or worked on personal stuff...
... but... as it turns out - the boss was also a meth addict and was out of his mind..
... he just got out jail...
... again...
... so... um... I'm going to answer 'yes' to your 'am I asking for too much/dream job' scenario... :)

Hey piperboytoy,
Man your in exactly the same spot as me! I used to freelance all the time doing small creative jobs, but no great amounts of cash, but at least I enjoyed my work.
For money, and portfolio (same as you) I started at an agency doing big projects for large corporate companies, and I HATED IT!
I couldn't afford to go back to freelance (rent, bills, booze etc..). So I found a happy medium... I negotiated with my agency (ran in one day with dynamite strapped to me!)... and I now work for the same agency only 3 days-a-week, for a guaranteed paycheck each month, which takes the risk out of freelancing, and I freelance the rest of the time!
Pretty cool eh, and yeah I guess I jumped into the unknown and got lucky, but at least I tried.
Just a thought mate... there's light at the end of the tunnel! Good luck :)

I think the only you are going to get what you want is to set aside a set amount of time (years) and work your ass of to grow a business. When you have all your office managers, designers programmers etc... hired, you can set your own schedule and only come in to make sure everything is running well and go to networking events to get new business. The rest of the time do what you want.
This is a pretty lofty goal but the only way to do what you want is to own it all.
