She has successfully ensured that countless more people have seen this portrait than if she had just kept her mouth shut about it. So with that in mind, I hope if it were me in that situation that I would have been smart enough to keep quiet and be glad that only a certain relatively small number of people would ever see it AND realize that it was supposed to be me.

I doubt there would be many adults who see this and don't know who it is. |

I just saw a post on Facebook that there is a campaign on Indiegogo to raise money to get the artists work (ie. Gina's protrait) on a billboard in Times Square NYC.  Ah, if only she'd kept her silly mouth shut! The goal was to raise $30,000, and that goal has now been met. Look out NYC, Gina is on her way.....! Put Vincent Namatjira’s work in Times Square |
