first, make a demo reel (basically just render out your best texturing jobs, and make a video out of em.

i suggest you focus on what you are best at, which, for you, seems like its texturing.

then make a portfolio site with your work on it, and make the reel available for download. and post it up on sites like this, zbrushcentral.com, polycount.com, and any other forums you can think of. and if its good enough, eventually you will get hired by someone.

normally as an actor one would get an agent, as a specialist one would make s show reel and a web site and it push on EVERYONE you know and those you dont know but want to.., if you are good, you'll sell.

dont give up, be passionate and never lose the passion, you lose it you die... well that extreme but you know what I mean..,

go to creative.cow

3D Buzz.com

I think you will find job lists there.., or on the other 3D sites, just keep looking and doing..,

take it easy and life will be easy
