For a long time now, I’ve been plagued with ideas for T-shirts that I’d love to own but inexplicably didn’t exist. I know as well as anybody that this is a sorry state of affairs for anybody who’s used the internet for any length of time due to the number of good print-on-demand merchandising companies that allow you to set up your own store.

Probably the most well-known and quite possibly biggest of these is CafePress, the only downside (from my point of view) is that they are based in the states. I’ve also checked out Spreadshirt, who also run a European site and Simply Icons who are UK based.

So getting back to the point, I decided to resurrect my old CafePress account and start putting some work into turning the designs in my head into real objects.

The early result is at www.cafepress.com/webdev2. I’m going to update the site design so that I have proper navigation between this blog and the store pages. I intend to regularly add new shirt designs to the store and I’ll also link to designs that I like by other people. The first batch of my own designs are a set of Flickr parodies.

Please let me know if you have any requests or suggestions for shirts, I’ll try and do any really good ones quickly but I have an evergrowing list of my own ideas to implement.
