    Go Andy!!!  I couldn't agree with your statement below more!

    IF artists were truly respected, then they would be treated in the
    same way that teachers, doctors, lawyers, dentists, etc. are.  I
    don't believe I have ever been to an auction that offered medical or
    legal services, or a plumber's services, or tutoring, etc. from any
    other profession!  It is always art auctions - given that we are just
    playing around, of course we can donate the results of our play! 

    I like the percentage idea - since you basically don't get a tax
    deduction for art donations anyway, getting a percentage sale would
    be wonderful!
