Jack Benny — Framed Painting by Ellie Zulewski (Young Artist Series)

By Ellie Zulewski

In loving memory of Jack Benny — a huge, gentle Yorkshire pig with a devilish grin and a passion for the swamp. Captured here in framed acrylic by Ellie, the youngest artist in this year's Art Crawl!

Jack was found roaming a bean field in Iowa in 2022, likely an escapee from a factory farm. At Odd Man Inn he became famous for his daily sunscreen routine — growling and roaring like a dinosaur in protest, but always (mostly) for show. Pink-skinned pigs like Jack are at high risk for skin cancer, and that daily sunscreen is essential care.

This piece is more than a painting — it's a small monument to a big, sweet pig who taught his caregivers devotion, presence, and what it truly means to stay until the end.
