T-Shirt Crowdfunding Site TeePublic Funds 22 Designs In First Week

Last week Abramson, who previously co-founded the jokey T-shirt retailer BustedTees, launched TeePublic, which is basically a Kickstarter for T-shirts.

Shirts cost $20, of which $5 goes to the designer.

Older sites have taken steps in this direction. Most notably, there’s Threadless, where people submit their designs and people vote on them.
