A friend of mine is very artistic and does little drawings for herself just to pass the time. I saw this one and insisted she set up a store on CafePress.com to sell t-shirts and coffee mugs w the drawing printed on them. I've attached a copy of the drawing as a point of reference.
I did the initial research on it for her. Basically, you take a drawing or photo and scale it appropriately. Then you attach the appropriately scaled image to a picture of a t-shirt, coffee mug, key chain, etc. on the CafePress.com website. They tell you how much it will cost you when someone buys that product and you set the price you want to set for it.
I'll keep you posted on whether it works out as a great side gig for her!
The CafePress interface is a bit clunky and cumbersome to use, but it's not hard to take a drawing or a photo and get it put onto products. You don't have to stock inventory, they print on demand. Pretty cool, eh?
And if you can't draw (like me!), you can use a photograph.
Here's the link to the store so you can get an idea of prices. The CafePress.com site has a list of costs per type of time so you can figure out how much profit there is in each item.
