Sell them at flea markets. I have a friend who does quite well with this.

Also sell them on the street. There are some places where this is welcome, as on telegraph avenue in berkeley. Some cities may require a permit, or limit the places where such vending can be done.

Thank you for your advice! :)

I didn't buy a bunch of tshirts hoping to sell all of them. I'm selling the tshirts on Teespring. Teespring handles everything for me. They design, print and ship the tshirts. Only if I get enough pre-orders though. I just get the money at the end of the campaign. :P

I can definitely see this working on the street. In retrospect, I'd buy one on the street if it was presented to me. But I don't have the time to do this. I'm just a lazy college student hoping to make some easy money.

I really appreciate your insight though! :)

I have two t-shirts in mind myself, one is the logo on the top-right of my website, the other is my drawing of the Eyeball tree at http://www.warplife.com/mdc/drawings/

The Eyeball Tree is - and has been for many years - the single most popular document on my site. Back in the day, my girlfriend and I were looking for a way to kill some time. She suggested we draw. She drew a portrait of me, I drew the Eyeball Tree.
