I can (and have) looked back over earlier work and thought Yanno I could probably do that better... nah. Some of this is, even when we re-visit a concept that's all we are really doing, revisiting. We bring all that experience with us that contributes to the craft aspects of our art becoming better. This is not to say there aren't some of those concepts I shouldn't re-visit, more to say the intervening time will contribute to a somewhat deeper interpretation of the concept. Also, a few that I'm contemplating will require getting together with original models...
Much like the T-shirts our Ranch booth at farmers markets is doing better than the Art. For much the same reason. People will first make sure of shelter, food, and the 'intangibles' (power or utilities and such) before spending any Fun Money. Another lesson from another art mentor, fellow who people called a writer yet he called himself a word mechanic. Not competing for the Food & Shelter money. Competing for the Fun Money. He said Beer. That works too.
