How is the animation industry around Baltimore, MD?

After a visit to Baltimore, I started thinking that maybe I’d like to get out there. It’s close to friends, Baltimore struck me as an incredible city, and I could spend all day by the harbor. I’m also sick of working tech support, and think it’s about high time I start an actual art career instead of the occasional freelance job.

How big of a demand is there for computer animators around Maryland? I’m looking for anything, from advertising to technical instructions to, well, anything that uses 3D.
