Judd moved to Santa Barbara, California in 1875, working primarily as a sign painter. In 1890 he settled in San Francisco where he remained. He was employed as the chief artist for the Emporium in San Francisco, spending much of his time decorating and designing elaborate displays based on public holidays.
