Alright so i do my shirts by hand 100% i even use these rubber brush like things to color in some stuff on the shirts (saves me like 5 screens) and gives it a nice look. im going to be selling the shirts on etsy. but my questions are 1. is etsy a good place to sell my work cuz it seems like it is just wanna get some opinions.

2. my 1st possibly huge amount of work is me making shirts for a local band here in New England called Valoria. but im wondering if this means im going to be getting alot of sales.

When I think of Etsy I think of kids clothes, baby items, home decorations, not band tee shirts.
There may be people selling tee shirts on Etsy but they probably have cute designs painted on them.
I don't mean to imply that your designs wouldn't be cute, but is that what you have in mind for your tee shirts?

Band T's sell if the band is good, popular and has a rabid following. You might want to think of ways to cut out some of the hand work. If you own a press, you could do either digital or plastisol transfersmixed with some hand work. Also, before you do any work, get the band to back up some of the cost, if not all.

I think it you would sell a lot more with original catchy and smart design more than regular band tee..

Local bands sell t-shirts, but it all depends on what you call sell; 50 shirts a week or 500 to 1000 a show.
I'm in business for 25 years and the first 15, I lived just from selling bands t-shirts

Curious what these brushes are...do they stand up to washing?

I'm interested in doing some ultra-custom designs, but colors vs cost is tricky...
my stuff may not sell and I want to do designs that are on the fringe, try some one-off experimental weirdness.

Brushes like these sound like a good way to make some cool stuff on the cheap...
do you have a brand name for them?
