First of all, you should look at my site (with portfolio) here : http://www.thesis-design.com/ I work full time as a freelance graphic and web designer. I operate from the United States, state of Michigan. I've been doing graphic and web design for DP members for quite a while now, even though I've taken a break from this place the last couple months, and it's been going very well, as you can see from my iTraders. I've made the switch from flat rate payment to hourly. My standard rate is $20 per hour. However those hours go a long way, I'm very fast with my work. For instance, a PSD web design normally takes me 1.5-2 hours total, a large banner normally takes 1-1.5 hours total.
