This week we tackle a topic faced by artists the world over ... how do you deal with older work when your style has moved on? What do you do with that pile of old canvases or sheets of paper that no longer feel like you? Is it a waste to throw them out? Is it OK to show them with your newer work? Or can you find a way to offload them so that someone else can enjoy them?

We also wrestle with the best (and worst) ways to ask for feedback on your work, discuss how to prepare yourself mentally before you do, and share the things that have inspired us this week.
