Alright, alright, alright! Nothing says welcome to a town better than a giant, smiling cutout of its favorite son. Uvalde, a town unfortunately beleaguered by recent tragedy, is also the birthplace of Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey.

The larger-than-life cutout is one of several that line US-90 in Uvalde, all works created by artist John Cerney. The cutout of McConaughey is joined by depictions of the Tejano band Los Palominos and Dale Evans Rogers, star of many a Western film and wife to Roy Rogers. Cerney is also the artist behind a pair of dueling cowboys in New Mexico and an homage to Beatle George Harrison in a small Illinois town.
