Hi svs!

I've been planning my move away from the IT business for a couple of years now, and I've finally reached the point where I've assembled a portfolio to start sharing with publishers. My stretch goal is to be able to make a living as a full-time children's book illustrator, but in the short term almost any paid gig in the right direction will do.

I've been going back and forth on what pieces to include in my portfolio, and at first I felt quite pleased with the result, but the more I look at it, the less sure I feel. I would really value a fresh eye, and thus I turn to you.

So please help. Does this portfolio make sense to you? Is the work coheisive enough? Are there any sore thumbs sticking out anywhere? Should I remove anything?

(The portfolio is assembled for the Swedish market, where I have been advised to not focus on character pages or spots, but to go for full illustrations throughout. If you have experience with the Swedish market and have adifferent opinion, then I'd love to know more about that as well!)

Thanks so much!
