I couldn't wait for the 'Reputations' thread to pad out so here goes.
Looking for a list of NY Print/ID agencies, small-medium preferably but any would do.
(I change my mind a lot and though it would do me no harm to 'broaden my horizons'.)

Fuck me, I didn't realise that New York was such a creative ghost town. Either that or NT has finally shunned print like it's paedophilia.
I'm only kidding, take your time.

I've already got VSA, Arnold Saks, Atelier, Russell, Straightline, Walrus, Flat, Area 17, Athletics, Tender and Pentagram. Are there any more I should add?

hey stimuli. how's it going?

Harraw!
Just waiting around to hear from the Philly folks now. Today was hell. I better do something to take my mind off it tomorrow.
All but given up on Indy as no fucker ever replies to emails.
If I get nothing from the Philly agencies I'm screwed as I can't afford to travel anywhere else for interviews. I might extend my credit limit for NY but that's about it.

i'm actually new to your situation. how long have you been looking? what level are you at?

Wow, I actually closed off Taxi from my search as I didn't realise they were anywhere but Toronto. Nice one.
Nine years experience as an all-rounder with a print/identity bias. Quit my job in Edinburgh last September, did the US immigration thingy, been looking for work since June. First in Indianapolis, then Philadelphia, now maybe New York.
I have minus cash, red credit and still live with the in-laws. I fear for my sanity.

wouldn't imagine you'd have trouble finding a job. what is impeding you?

Depends on the agency I suppose. One of the interviewers last week asked me if I'd get bored of their work because I have a lot of sports/events work. Another described some of my work as 'controlled chaos', even though I have corporate stuff in there too.

are you in NY right now?

Maybe that's the problem with having one portfolio to show to two agencies on opposite sides of the creative spectrum.
[I seem to have all sorts of bullshit patter tonight]

Nope, was in Philly Tues-Sat last week, now back in Indy.

i like you, stimuli. you're talented. you've got humility and you're not getting terribly bent out of shape about this rough patch. so i am going to use some white magic to make things happen for you.
*poof*
things should be getting better here for you soon. couple of hours to wait, maybe.
sorry i don't have any 'actual' help to offer. good luck though.

greyhood works in philly for anthropology. maybe send him your folio link. i heard recently that they're hiring. (if you're into that kind of thing)

Mercy buckets, salisae, I'm feeling poofier already. But shhhh, don't tell anyone :P
As long as I get a phone call by the end of the week I'll be happy :)
