I was selling t-shirts when I had some friends who owned their own gallery and screening/printing business, which earned me a tremendous discount on having shirts made. But they've gone under thanks to a local twat who's on a mission to be the biggest and baddest [and only] local artist in town with a gallery, so I haven't had shirts for sale in quite some time. Mostly because the cost of going through a mainstream printing company is too high, and I don't trust the silk screen kids on campus, and I don't have the room for a proper DIY setup at home.
As far as what I do, it's paintings, illustration, custom vinyl toys, and the odd short comic, which I usually print off in extremely small numbers and sell fairly quickly. I don't really want to turn my art into anything 'practical' as far as making it my only source of income, but the extra scratch I've been able to bring in thus far has been nice. Once I actually get around to setting up my paypal account and finalizing my Etsy, I hope to get the ball rolling again as far as sales go.
