The Ten Commandments of PAPA

These are the commandments of P.A.P.A. (People Against Paintbrush Abuse):

Thou shalt treat thine expensive paintbrush with respect.
Thou shalt thoroughly clean thy paintbrush after each usage, no matter it's age or state of grottiness.
Thou shalt not leave thy paintbrush head first in thy water pot to "soak". (YOU sit head first in a pot of water overnight and see how alive your bristles are in the morning)
Thou shalt not throw thy paintbrush anywhere in anger or frustration, unless for the legitamit application of the medium.
Thou shalt not blame thy paintbrush or any other tool for the misgivings of your own lack of creativity.
Thou shalt not use paintbrushes for vandalous acts, unless this is thy method of self-expression, in which case, seek professional help and/or an art school.
Thou shalt not use paintbrush shafts to clean out nostrils, ears, or any other bodily orifices, however appropriate it may seem.
Thou shalt not throw a paintbrush in the trash before it's usefulness has completely and utterly expired.
Thou shalt always try to glue a paintbrush with a broken shaft back together, for it's spirit has not yet been broken.
Thou shalt not feel shame in reapplying undercoat and beginning anew, for the paintbrush does not count finished projects, but is merely a tool of service and not a dictator of creativity.
