Forget CafePress.
Hey, can you post your art on here-- do you have some images of what you have done? Try to post them or put them on flickr and send us all the link. I would like to see them.
Let me give you a quick business plan-- the point being that doing your own thing is NOT EASY.
Let's say currently take home $2,000.00 a month- $24,000 a year. Let's say your product will sell for $50. Let's say it costs you $20 to make. Your GROSS PROFIT is $30 per item. So to GROSS what you bring home now you have to sell 67 "Whatevers" a month.
That doesn't seem bad-- but it is 3 every week day. Or 1 every 3ish hours.
The lesson- 1. It's not easy to replace your income. and 2. Don't undersell yourself.
Now, that being said-- I really like the idea of Graffiti art in general. Especially if used in the correct way, etc.
Good Luck!
