so I want to start a new company
A very good friend of mine and I are in talks to start our own line of clothes...
he is a graphics monkey, and freelance artist and does shit for NASCAR, his site http://www.petemcdonough.com/
and we all know what my part in this is...
but we don't know what to produce
obviously not $$$, (I mean XXX straight edge crud)
but we need an market
a very good customer is doing some simple ass zombie stuff
and he retails it thru diamond,
(every comic book shop in the country basically)
the first moth he sold 1400 shirts, and he will help us get our foot in the door with them...
so we have this chance to really get our skills out there and stop working for peanuts...
but we have no idea what to market
he was thinking of doing Star Wars related stuff but not so much as we would get our asses sued, and I was thinking horror inspired stuff...
but I need your guys help...
is there a market not so fucking polluted that we can make so quality stuff for, any ideas are appreciated, and those used will be well compensated,
but I am at a loss here

Obviously the tattoo design stuff is still doing well, but the market is pretty saturated. Also the hot rod/biker shit, but that is quickly picking up
as well. Horror is a good idea if you find a niche in it. There are alot of online gaming geeks who are forming what they call clans (groups who game
together) I don;t know much about it, but it might be worth looking in to? I wish I could be of more help, but it almost seems like everything has
been done or is being done, we tend to rehash alot in our society.

Do something geared to the psychobilly crowd. That hasn't been done to death yet. At least I don't think it has.

Wait. Time out.
Theres something to this. Make general public shirts geared towards the working man, Father of the house.
Shit that sums up life.
Weekday working man. Yard worker come the weekend. And the thanks I get is a kiss from the wife, a hug from the kids, and a beer while cooking on the
grill.
So far so good.
...Its corney but fuck I'd wear it.

How about a zombie related thing about cannibalism?
Like a zombie shirt that say "I ate your mother"
Zombies are the new "cool thing" that or pirates.

How bout Parody logos of old school bands but ohrror related... Like Ramones, black flag, rolling stones, beatles, etc,etc,etc.... any classicly
know band logo but change it to being horror related. Like the ramones logo with a bat instead and instead of The Ramones say "Nightwalker" or some
shit like that.
