Roach Stompers — Roach Stomper Boots in Pen and Ink by Caya Crum
A tall pair of cowboy boots stands dead center on a butter-yellow page, and Caya Crum has covered every inch of them in patchwork — little squares of basket-weave, drawn one pen stroke at a time until the leather reads like a quilt somebody's grandmother would fight you for. Up in the corner, a starburst badge announces ROACH STOMPERS the way a rodeo poster announces the main event, and there's a little note scrawled above in Caya's own hand, the kind of thing you lean in to read. If the patchwork looks familiar, it's the same instinct behind her cowboy boots quilt square — boots treated like heirloom fabric, because in Texas that's roughly what they are.
Then there are the cobras. Two of them, risen up on either side of the boots with their hoods spread, and here's the thing — they're not attacking. They're deliberating. A toe that pointed changes the math for everybody, and the tiny pair of eyes peeking down from the top of the page (that would be the roach) knows it better than anyone. It's a standoff drawn entirely in black ink on yellow, and it's the funniest one hanging in our boot wall art collection.
Where It'll Work in Your House
By the front door, over the actual boot pile — let the drawing supervise the real thing. It's a natural for a mudroom, a closet with ambitions, or the wall of a bar where boot stories get told and improved. The tall vertical shape loves a skinny wall that never knows what to do with itself. Put it beside the pastel Marfa boots for a soft-and-sharp pairing, or start a proper boot lineup with the Justin boot print and let the two argue over which one's more Texan.
Caya Crum, working in Texas. Original family artwork, printed to order — the rest of Caya Crum's art carries the same pen and the same mischief. If decorated boots are your weakness, the chinoiserie floral boots are the other pair in the family that got dressed up for the occasion.
Some people are Texan the way other people are tall — it's just structural. This is the print for them: the boots, the joke, the standoff, all of it. Find more like it in our Texas gifts, and if their boot wall runs philosophical, Ceci n'est pas une Boot is standing by.

Product FAQ
Why are there cobras in the Roach Stompers drawing?
Because a boot this pointed deserves a worthy audience. Caya Crum drew two cobras rising up beside the boots, hoods spread, sizing up the situation — and notably, neither one is striking. Snakes and cowboy boots are an old western pairing, but here the boots clearly have the upper hand, which is the whole joke of a roach stomper.
Why is the background yellow?
The butter-yellow ground keeps a black pen-and-ink drawing warm instead of stark. On the wall it glows a little, like afternoon light in a boot shop, and it makes the hand-drawn linework on the boots and the cobras stand out from across the room.
Who needs the Roach Stompers print in their life?
Anyone who's Texan to the bone: boot collectors, people who already know the roach stomper joke, and brand-new Texans who need it explained exactly once. It works for housewarmings, birthdays, and anyone whose entryway boot pile deserves official artwork.
Does Crum Art make other cowboy boot prints?
Yes — the boot family is deep. The Marfa Boots pastel print by Betsy Crum goes soft and West Texas where this one goes sharp, and the Chinoiserie Floral Cowboy Boots print dresses a pair of boots in blue-and-white florals. All three hang well together.
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.
