I would not sell a piece of my art that I considered substandard. My problem is that some of my old work that I thought was pretty good at the time makes me cringe a little bit now.

How is selling art that you know is bad any different than selling poor quality food to an unsuspecting person or cheating someone by charging a fee for a service poorly done?

If you need money, don't quit your day job until your artwork is up to snuff. Just because someone is dumb about art doesn't mean that we have the right to take advantage of them. As a full time painter I'd like to think that this is still an honorable profession.
