So I recently moved to Chicago, while I have had no problem landing freelance jobs in the advertising realm, I have only found a small handful of design studios to send my work too. So first question...
Know of any?
Second...
Where should I move if you don't know any. Cause I am sick of freelancing.

What part of town do you live in? I think we're due to have a Chicago get together soon, or, er, for the first time.

Everytime someone says "Chicago" I can't help but think of Oprah and Sufjan Stevens (or whatever his name is) and it makes me want to hurt myself...

But the QBNers from there seem OK...

If the freelance work is coming easy and paying the bills while searching for the job you really want. There is lots of work here. I'm sure you will find something to your liking before too long.
