Ask HN: my GF is a graphic designer - how should she find work?

My GF is a graphic designer (HTML, CSS, AJAX, PHP, Wordpress, Illustrator - that sort of thing). Her current employer is cutting her hours back, and she's asked me how to get work (ideally contract work). As a self-employed software engineer, I have no idea. So, HN: your advice, please. How should a graphic designer look for work (gigs, ideally, but perhaps a real job)? Craigslist? Whatever the designer equivalent of boston.rb is? Cold calling?
