Dave - to "bid" on a project, simply contact the poster. I admit, this board does suffer from the low number of project postings - perhaps most project managers would rather contact freelancers directly than post their project. There are, however, good projects posted every now and then - check back once in a while.

Hello -
I understand what you are going through - I am also an Artist/Illustrator with over 10 years of experience (and I do flash, html hand coding, etc...)
What you have to do is 'market' your work.. Pick up a copy of the Artists & Graphic Designers Market - do a search on Freelance, Freeagent, etc...
Just keep plunking away and most of all 'network'.. that is VERY important... I often get work via networking...
The other thing - when I find myself hitting a wall constantly - I find its time to reevaluate my 'approach' - see if my resume is up to par, my website, my portfolio - everything...
Good Luck ! Its not easy - but remember for each 'creative' out there looking for work - there is a client - looking for a 'creative' the trick is you two bumping into each other ;)
Me? I evaluated my portfolio - I need more technical illustrations, more cartoons and more - well of everything else I do...
A picture IS work at 1000 words ;)
Just keep on keeping on - too many give up - be persistant!
Sincerely,
Deb...
