Rednecks for Obama?

Posted by admin on 2008 September 17

Hell yes! Well, in fact I’m not exactly a full-blood redneck, having grown up and lived in the big city all my life. But I have tons of relatives out in west Texas around Coleman and San Angelo, and my family owns some farmland near Kaufman, and… I have an Uncle Bubb! You can’t hardly get more redneck than that.

Anyway, I saw something in reddit about Rednecks for Obama and thought I’d join the bandwagon, and maybe help build the wagon to some extent. To that end, I have put up some artwork at Zazzle and CafePress.

On Zazzle, I have a Rednecks for Obama store at http://zazzle.com/obamaredneck, and on CafePress my store is called LoonyBuns, after a funny Youtube video, at http://cafepress.com/loonybuns.

I have four basic designs, but they took down one of them on Zazzle because they thought my replica of the Obama “O” infringed on the copyright. CafePress doesn’t seem to care about that. CafePress makes it easier to create a whole slew of products from one design and its variants, so for example, the header design for this site needs to be wide for a bumper sticker but fat for a t-shirt.

Zazzle makes you create entire separate products for each such design, but they let you choose if customers should be able to customize, so you can go in with some art and put it on anything you like.

Later I’ll have more about politics and less about my side business.
