Ah, the old representation chestnut. Yes sir. I've had two agents so far and have concluded that they really are more trouble than they're worth in one way or another.
I too aim for the three or four big jobs a year... in fact when I blundered into this I naively thought that was exactly how it would be. Reality is; I spend most every day doing a small job for someone, getting well paid for my day's input, not having a single moment to think about doing any self-initiated work to explore new directions, and then when I get to the end of the year and think about putting my year's work online... its nought but a bunch of odd, one-off bits of client-driven twaddle that don't amount to anything.
Still, it keeps the wolf from the door.
Had a look at your stuff a few weeks back when I first saw you on here. Really good body of work. Nice and understated and seems to have the ability to bend itself across the spectrum of cool vs commercial.
Do you get much UK work, or do you look for it?
