I was flipping through my sketchbook and realized I had a ton of fun pages that I enjoyed sketching while on the idle moments when designing for a customer that ended up going unused or passed over. Thought I would share one see if anyone else wanted...
  10. looking for designer

    If I were still freelancing I would send you a PM. Sadly, like others said ... if you want someone "on-staff" it will be hard. Freelancers are generally going to be just as busy as yourself or have odd hours. Just plan ahead and expect a 1-2 day turn around.
