I can think of several solid designers. Although I'm inclined to agree with you on "most" people out there, they are probably mostly made up of those I wouldn't go looking for or recommending anyway.
It's not hard to find the real deal, you should be able to ask anyone who's been around a long time and they should be able to tell you who's good and reliable. As I said, I can think of several.
I don't know how busy Fletch is right now but he does good work. Same with Headless. Plenty of others who do work for whatever companies they're with, but some of them might take on extra work from time to time I don't know. Sarah_Webinc has had quite a few compliments on her work thrown her way over the years.
And what the hell, I myself have done quite a bit of freelance work over the past 7 or 8 years and have never had a complaint. I just don't put myself out there as a "designer" because I do too many other things to devote all my time to it.
Go with the long time reputable.
And I'm not bagging on newbs and outsourcers exactly, they deserve a chance too... but they have to PROVE themselves. You want repeat business in adult? Then do deliver the kind of service J.R. is asking for above, and deliver it to EVERY CUSTOMER YOU GET, period. Do that and it won't take long for word to get around that you're a go-to designer too.
