Thread Name: Mudcat tees - kids to 4x adult, mugs
Subject: Mudcat tees - kids to 4x adult, mugs
The mudcat patch thread made me think of asking how many would be interested in this idea. In addition to the Official Mudcat tee, Susan, dick, Max, and all, what do you think of an online store like this with Mudcat artwork? Alice's art on shirts and mugs and mousepad.

I can do some watercolors of a real mudcat fish, create the graphics using the logo, etc., manage setting it up and updating it, and it can be accessed internationally. This service only offers white shirts, but there are other advantages. They sell kids sizes from small up to adult sizes 4x. No money is invested up front by the Mudcat/DT. For creating the original art I would need a portion of the markup, but it would be a hassle free way for Mudcat and DT to offer more items.

I have sold shirts and mugs from my own store and received only good feedback from customers about the product.

Just suggesting this to see if people think it is a good idea... Because the art is printed by transfers, it can be full color and easily changed by uploading new art. There are no minimum orders. I could create custom graphics for special gatherings and upload them to the Mudcat cafepress store. We could have holiday prints - or even souvenir of special events (Neil Young Center reunion?) or a Welcome to the Mudcat Tavern mug... or a mug that says, this is my Mudcat tip jar... or a Mudcat radio shirt.... I have lots of ideas about this, but need to know if it flies with dick, Susan, Max, and all of you out there.
