I never show a clients' clients work without stating I was commissioned
to do so. One of my clients is a direct marketing agency with big name
clients and I don't think they would like to know that they had
outsourced all their work to me.

And if I had a freelancer do work for me i wouldn't like it either.

I do show the work in my paper portfolio but just not anywhere that the
end client can see it.
I thought about having a seperate password section on my site for
freelance work where you can show interested clients but the end client
wouldn't be able to find it.
