Suggestions/Help in Finding Artists for Projects (Non-Comic Book)

I apologize for posting this here (Since it is not CoH based), but this is really the only forum that I belong to that I might be able to get some artist's thoughts and some possible help.

I have a few projects in the works and in planning that I could use some interested artists to collaborate with. And I honestly don't know any visual artists to talk, work and collaborate with (None that are willing, able or still practicing/capable).

I'm not a freeloader, by the way. I do plenty of work of my own, it's just not in the medium that I'm looking for... And, right now, most of the work I am doing isn't putting enough food on my own table, unfortunately.

My most immediate interest is for some emblems, logos and somewhat simple designs for a few links on a webpage to help get things going.
Larger projects involve full pictures and animated videos (The latter something I have some experience in, myself).

Anyway, I'm being vague because I am not looking to post here asking for people to volunteer themselves for my projects, but just trying to give an idea of the sort of thing that I am looking to try and find the correct avenues for reaching out to find some interested artist(s).

I am a member of Deviant Art, but I've not really used it to branch out much at all.

I have to admit, this seems really odd to have to post here and ask such basic questions... But... I find myself on my own and it is hard breaking in and connecting and finding others to work with.

Thanks for any help.
