"For clients who think 'exposure' is worth anything:

"Who's the artist of Washington's portrait on the $1 bill? Quick! Anybody?

"That artwork has had more exposure than you'll ever provide, but that hasn't made the artist well known.

"Just give me the dollar."

-- Pulsar (@PulsarCardinal), 2018-12-07 (And yes, some of you will have known that the engraving is based on a portrait by Gilbert Stuart, as noted in the next tweet, but how many of us could pull that name out of our heads? And as @PulsarCardinal notes in that followup, "The engraving itself has been done by a variety of people over the years. Which is even worse--the actual craftsman doing engravings themselves are largely unknown. Try asking them what all that exposure got them.")

[Merry fourth day of Christmas!]
