By: Scarebaby Design Artists who sell their designs at Cafepress have responded with t-shirts that are humorous, satirical, ironic. Scarebaby Design (www.cafepress.com/ "I wanted to add the words 'brought to you by the GOP' with an elephant logo", says artist Holly Hertzel. "It would have been a more self-explanatory message. But as a small independent artist, I can't afford to fight the GOP in court, even though I strongly believe in the protections of parody and satire." Other t-shirts satirizing the issue include one that features a "Do It Yourself" Republican t-shirt at http://www.cafepress.com/ # # # About Scarebaby Design: Scarebaby Design has been online since 2004, creating and selling t-shirts and gifts, many with a liberal bent, through its fulfillment provider Cafepress.
