“Here Comes The Sun,”

Just before the solar eclipse, and just in time for the eclipse tourists, Benton finally got its’ Beatles mural.

Last week California artist John Cerney made the long trek to Benton, Illinois to construct the much anticipated mural in honor of former Beatle George Harrison.

Cerney, who once a year picks a big project to donate to a local community, says these not-for-profit pieces of art are far and away his favorite to undertake. “I’ve got two or three projects at a time, but projects like this that I’m obviously not getting paid for are more exciting for me, and I wish I could spend all my time on projects like this. They’re way more fun for me.”
