Well, today, I adapted that design into a mug:
Without undue modesty, I think it looks pretty good.... That gold pattern that shows through the white parts of the image is the same one I used for my store's logo, btw; I chose it for being vaguely scale and/or feather like.
... I then adapted that design into one for a tie:
.
I've also been working on adapting my "monster on wheels" design to a mug, and ipad case, etc.... Still gonna be a while before I get an inventory big enough to get noticed, but I'm getting there....
ETA: I just clicked on that "Disability Culture Ties" link on the embed above, and you know what? I seem to have the only store in All of Zazzle to even have a "disability culture" category. ...The store doesn't have any disability category, overall... so I've been trying to figure out where in Zazzle-wide I should stick my stuff. It feels weird to put them under health and anatomy ('cause I'm trying to fight the damn medical model. "Politics" has categories for gun control and free speech, but none for accessibility or the ADA... The closest I could find was "affirmative action," which is sort of right, but... y'know... not really.

Is there a "groups and clubs" sort of slot?

"People, Health, and Cultures" breaks down into "civilizations, cultures" (mostly national origin), "family," "Famous people, pre-1900," "female," "male," "Geneology," "Health, Anatomy" and "Relationships"
Naturally, there's no category for anything gender-queer. And "relationships" is all about where we lie on the romance spectrum... whereas my aid would like a tee-shirt showing her solidarity with the other kid she works with, and her relationship is neither parental nor romantic. ... And that seems to be primary options... :-/
