Go Ahead Be Cocky Rooster Art Print by Betsy Crum

This rooster art print brings a little Austin weird to the wall — a graphic, strutting rooster paired with a cheeky quote that earns a smile every time someone reads it. Painted by Betsy Crum, it's Austin art with attitude and easy funny wall art for locals, transplants, and anyone who keeps the city's oddball spirit close. Text pieces like this sit naturally beside our other Texas quote prints.

Where It'll Work in Your House

Kitchens and breakfast nooks love a rooster — this one holds the wall over the coffee maker like he owns the place, which makes it confident kitchen wall art. The humor also lands as entryway art that greets guests with a grin, in a home office that needs the pep talk, or on a gallery wall that wants a little personality.

As a gift, it's a natural for housewarmings, Austin fans, and anyone whose confidence deserves a mascot — find more like it in Texas gifts.

This rooster has never doubted himself once. Channel that energy across the whole state in Texas wall art.

Product FAQ

Is there a story behind the 'Go Ahead Be Cocky' line?

The rooster carries the joke himself — a strutting bird paired with a one-liner as brash as he is. It's a nod to Austin's oddball streak, the kind of humor the city wears proudly.

Would this rooster hold his own outside the kitchen?

Absolutely. He's a classic in a breakfast nook, but that swagger works in a home office or on a hallway wall where guests catch the joke on the way in.

What occasions call for a print like this?

It's a favorite for birthdays and just-because gifts, especially for a friend who could use a confidence boost. New-job congratulations are a sneaky-good fit too.

What pairs well with this rooster?

The Austin Hollywood print keeps the swagger going, and Sandy's Frozen Custard adds a neon wink from the same city that keeps things weird.

Will this look like an original painting or a print?

Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.

What sizes does this print come in?

Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.

How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?

Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
