Hi Guys!

I've started an idea I've been working on for a while now and wanted to give you guys first opportunity at my products.

I've opened up a online clothing store with CafePress (link below). If you like my designs please feel free to purchase them as it helps support me in creating more!

http://www.cafepress.com/hatrackdesign

There are currently only two designs. More are in the works but it takes time to lay them out.

I am open to suggestions. If you would like to see the shirts I offer in other styles (hoodies, tees for the ladies, ect) or colors (black for example) just let me know what you are interested in and I'll see what I can do about getting them on the store!

Thanks for looking!

P.S. Anyone who has been reading about Fox News' recent outrage against the Mass Effect video game will really appreciate one of my t-shirts.

Ah, sex box, my first and only love. I'm glad you finally jumpped on to the inappropriate t-shirt band wagon. If you let this take off you can be one of those rich snooty types that owns a Mac... Oh wait... But for your next t-shirt you should knock off Family Guy. "Yeah, I own a Mac. Whooptie do. Ya wanna fight about it" You know, that guy, and do a chain of those. There's tons. I AM the wears innapropriate t-shirts guy.

I liked the Aperture Science one.

I probably wouldn't buy it, but I think "Hilldog's got a snuke in her snizz!" would be hilarious.

Does cafe express make commission from every sale you make or do you have to pay them a certain fee for their services?

I pay cafepres $6 a month for the services, and then they get the base rate of the t-shirt and I get whatever I decide to add as a markup on the shirts. Does that help explain it?

So no takers? I guess the shirts are not that good?

Don't be quick to write the shirts off. People just don't buy t-shirts sometimes. I've never bought a shirt online, but my brother has bought about 5. I've come close to buying a few shirts, but just decided not to. I've thrown the idea back and forth about designing shirts for sale online before, but in the end decided it wasn't worth my time. I'm not sure what it takes, but it can be done. Don't lose hope yet :p

Yes I know, and I am fully prepared to remove them on request. The other Ideas I have are my own and wouldn't cause issue. these are just the first I got up there.

Yes I am quite proficients at what I do. The sexbox Tee took about half an hour to do. And the Aperture shirt took about an hour because it was more complex.

EDIT: I just noticed you can't find my shirts by searching for keywords on Cafepress' website... I'm going to have to figure that out or no one but you guys will even know they are there!
