>tell me what kind of things put in portfolio.
That varies by who you want hiring your services. A children's book publisher, an animation studio, a package designer, and a tattoo parlor would all be looking for different things. Your portfolio should have the exact kind of work that the business entity needs and uses. Do your research.

>Im going to go TO THEM no shitty email
You could also use snail mail with high quality prints, or a postcard that shows your best piece and have a personal, hand written note on the other side. Depending on what businesses you're propositioning, showing up in person unannounced could piss people off. Art directors are busy people. Put yourself in their shoes for a minute and think about how they would want to be approached. Conduct yourself like a professional.

>"Wow, I think being a card artist for MTG is pretty cool"
Only send your fantasy piece with easily read composition.

>"I always love being an artist for an animation series!"
Send your stylized drawings, showreel, some sketches, and a little of other stuff to show what you are capable of.

>"Being a movie concept artist is where the money at!"
Send concept pieces and maybe some illustrations that are more geared towards movies. Their character silhouettes are more subdued, and their environmental pieces are much more moody. Photobash shit if you're from Poland.

>"I love games. I want to make the next big RPG/Shooter/Mobile game/etc!"
Cater your pieces based on what you are applying. Show that you are able to adapt and switch styles. Provide multi design solutions to one design. Being able to create cool things is a big plus.

Email them. Don't go there unless you are called, or if they have some weird open interview or something. You don't want to bother a busy company. Worst, you will be ignored while standing there like an idiot, and thrown out.

Just cater your piece to your potential employer and hope your work is good enough.
