if you are dead serious about free-lancing, moving to Tokyo is a good idea. I know some artists who had a bit of a problem breaking into the canadian markets and moved to Asia to build their books. A lot of top NY agencies sometimes send some of their models that are being groomed before making it big in the US markets to Asia to cut their teeth, so with the right contacts over there, this might be big for you. When these artists returned back to Canada, they got signed onto different agencies for representation. Of course, they still have to look for work, but it helps to have someone also searhing for you, with more contacts.
Here is a blog of one of these artists.
Jessica Jean Myers
Read through, especially her time in Shanghai. I know another doing the same in Hong Kong.
