I'm guessing it's a self promotion sort of job. Get your name/work out there to potential buyers.

Collect info from websites of local agencies, and email them.
it's all about whoring yourself out to them, yes, they will slap you, abuse you, but they will put you to work, they will protect you.. and if you are good to them.. they might not spit you out..

not for me.. but yeah..

a friend of mine has JUST moved to london and severly underestimated how much he needs to keep his head above ground...
and he's actually really fucking decent (just shit at promotion) so i thought id enquitre for him... :)

art buyers eh?
what about things like agencies? do they get in contact with him or does he get in contact with them?
ive got him doing a couple of editorials - but i dont want to have to sort out his job shite.. - just want to set him up with somene that will give him constant work..
so art buyers and agencies eh?
and how do i meet them - go get pissed at gallery openings?

art buyers are person between the agency and the freelancer.
usually the contact you... well, maybe not. i get contacted often for portfolio request.. but usually you'll look them up and send them your portfolio.

are you tryin to be his rep?
cold call i guess.. i heard it works, but i haven't done it yet. you should cold call art buyers as well.. art buyers are responsible to know about all styles of design so they can call you/illustrator when they think something is opening up for you, get them to love your freelancer and yeah..
