The ad in which Jess appears can currently be seen on the New York and London subways and will be appearing in San Francisco as well as other US and European cities. It is based on an original oil painting by Pacific Grove artist, Warren Chang. Brown is the long-time executive director of the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau and appears as three of the figures in the ad. First he is the judge kneeling by the barrel serving as the platform for the contest.
