Morris Garages, est. 1924, Oxford, England


Am starting to get some good sales on my Morris Garages items at my Cafepress store, RetroRanger.
A couple of interesting lessons here. First off, a design doesn't have to be complicated or overly artsy to be commercial. That's good because my artistic abilities are limited, at best. Secondly, the tighter the niche, the more likely the sales. There are millions of designs on Cafepress, but if you do a Cafepress search for "Morris Garages" my items are the only things to come up. The fans of early early MG cars may be few, but there are certainly enough to justify spending an hour designing a shirt.
