These are great! His 12 Days of Christmas is also fine (and seasonally appropriate).

tremendous, but doesn't anyone else feel like the color palettes aren't quite in sync with the cities?

Too much pink in New York
Too much teal in Zurich
Too much purple in Barcelona

it's a small thing, I guess, but it makes them feel off.

Too much Pink in New York? I think not!

Is this supposed to be something like, If Today Is Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium? The "New York" illustration seems to depict a tourist with one day and a guidebook.
