Skib Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 i think thats a worthy investment :fu: the style of your drawings are perfect for shirts Quote Link to comment
freebie1600 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 if you dont at least try you will never know how great your designs actually are. if it wont cost to much i say go for it and try,,,, even if it starts out as just us on this site buying some of them...then when we are wearing them they will be seen and that is the best advertisement for you:) Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 i would definatly buy one of the 610 shirts :D Quote Link to comment
nukeday Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 For the $5 a month, you could spend your money in worse ways. This is 'intellectual property', and the possibility of turning ideas into direct cash is always appealing. I agree that most of the drawings you've done would work well on shirts. You may want to contact some of the various Nissan clubs and website admins and build your market before you open the store. I know that ODPL has folded into nicoclub.com, and that forum is now nearly dead. A retro ODPL shirt just might have an audience. Event specific designs would also be popular, I think. I don't know if a shirt was available for Blue Lake this year, but since I didn't make it to Canby I'd like to see one. It's fairly obvious that there is some money in this hobby, so look at that audience as your primary customer. Specifically, the roadster, Z and 510 crowd, probably in that order. You may not sell a whole bunch of B210 designs. You seem to be a pretty squared away guy. Think it through, make a plan and then decide. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Good luck, whatever you decide. If you start up a store, post a link for us all to swarm you with orders. :blink: Quote Link to comment

datrod Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Do it. It looks like your poll is on the plus side. :D I'll buy one if you keep the wagon on it. Or Z one as well. Quote Link to comment

ohpyramids Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 support your local starving art student! or-if youre not one for dealing with stoners or craigslist... screenprints are pretty simple to do from home- even from a garage or bedroom closet. doing things from home might help with shipping costs and profit margins :) either way. forrow your dreems indeed. and make some sick rising sun 510 handkerchiefs!
