And thank yourselves for caring about this subject. I think most people do, but we need to be reminded from time to time. Wow! Some of you made me a little teary. Thank you for your kind words.

It has a great discussion board as well.

Irresponsible people often don't think how their actions will effect others or else don't care. I think the core of an ethical existence revolves around being responsible. Some of the things you list in your personal code are no brainers in my book. Paying bills and invoices on time? Why of course this is what you must do. It really says something about our society, I think, that this one even shows up on an ethics list. It sounds like at heart you are a responsible person.

A few years ago I was asked to talk to art classes at my local h.s. in regard to Ethics and art (the school had this as a theme throughout its activities that year). It really made me consider all that and I developed a presentation that was also valuable for me. I would advise every artist to make their own list about this. And add items regarding using quality materials that last, and fixing something in an art piece if YOU know it isn't right!

It reminded me of the best of humanity, how we each can strive for improvement and growth and share that effort and accomplishment. The personal endeavor, and the communication of the process brings us all to a higher level... It was a sort of epiphany for me of how important it is to remember to do one's best. This post by Alyson accomplishes the same, setting a personal standard which helps me remember. Thanks, Alyson.

I think you could add: Deliver on my my contracts. Respect my boundaries. Practice what I preach. (OK, I know we all do the best we can with this one!)
