[consulting] How do you find Drupal graphics designers?

[jeff at ayendesigns.com]

And I'm 100% with Nancy on this one (and if a=b and b=c...)  I'd add a 
general warning. Take it or leave it as you like. If a client is going 
to want their site to be pixel perfect in comparison to their artist's 
design (or any other phrase indicating the 'look' is all-important and 
the artist is near-deity), and if the artist is not a Drupal themer, run 
the other way unless you can up the price, because whether they give you 
a CSS file (see below) or you have to take their files and slice them 
and generate your own, it's going to be time...time...time.
