Rudy's Stomping Ground is a nod to the artist's grandfather, who spent his childhood walking the streets of downtown San Angelo. In the foreground is the sign for M.L. Leddy's Boots, one of Texas' most iconic and revered handmade bootmakers. In the distance is the Cactus Hotel, one of the original hotels opened by Conrad Hilton in the late 1920s. The vehicles may be new, but this west Texas street is a reminder of a bygone era when quality and workmanship reigned.
