Hi all,

I've been a marketing/advertising designer for a bit over 6 years but recently (under a year ago) I started dabbling in card/boardgame graphic design and have fallen in love with it.

I love the challenge of integrating functional layout into great artwork, my biggest challenge has been finding work. I already make a fairly decent salary at my day job so I'm really willing to negotiate my rates or do collaboration work just to do something fun that I can later use in a portfolio in this field.

I've worked on a few projects but some of them are unreleased and I can't use them as portfolio pieces just yet. Some of it can be seen here:

I also played around for fun/practice with redoing the design of an already existing game, but even though it's not really wasted effort (I had a lot of fun doing it) it's not something I would be able to put on a portfolio:

I just want to work with someone on a project with awesome art ... I just can't find them.
