Most times I find that these projects are either old or badly made (often both). If you’re inspired and you feel like you can make them better, then go for it.

An artist isn’t going to refrain from painting a portrait of a dog if other artists have already painted dog portraits, so why should you?

Then a while later you go back and look at what you did and realize it's old and badly made.
