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!
