You're not going to sell stuff, if those are what the shirts really look like. Also take REAL pictures of your product, digitally made ones won't help you.
Website needs polish. The text choices are pretty terrible and hard to read. Need to display actual project and you need something flash about the site its self to make it stand out.
Nice designs. What I do hate is the box t-shirts. They're not original and in my opinion, they're ugly looking. I do like your site though, I could help with some designs but I gotta think of some suiting stuff first

Make the banner smaller, It takes up 75% of the screen on my laptop. If you must have that huge thing up there at least make it relevant to your products. Make a rotating banner with each of your designs in the background. No, I don't mean flash, use PHP. The text is too crisp, try smoothing it out.
As for your product pictures, use a site like the one below. The current pictures aren't going to sell anything. Also, keep in mind that there are limits to what you can put on a shirt. The chipmunk one for example, the grey background on a white shirt is a no no. Just put the chipmunks with alpha channels. You could probably get away with just using color select to cut them out. The text you have on some of those shirts is far too close together. It won't turn out like you want during printing.
If you're going to use a blogging platform use a Wordpress install on your server instead of Blogger. Blogger smells of amateur, and will scare a lot of people. They're giving you money, you should make them trust you as much as you can.
Don't get discouraged by me telling you this, I'm only telling you how you can make it better.
I could always help in your website designs as well. Also, the music is quite off-putting. A lot of people generally do not browse sites with music in the background. Even though I like the music in your site, it shat me up because my volume was pretty high on my laptop XD I dunno that's my opinion
I just now visited the base url. I had only visited the blog and store before. Never, never, never, never, never ever use flash on a website for anything other than video. Try and use it as little as possible. It is a huge turn off for a lot of people. Just go with a plain website!! Google hates flash websites, Users with iphones won't be able to visit your site, etc, etc. Nobody is going to buy your stuff if you're website is annoying to use.
Never, never, ever use audio in the background of your website, you're selling shirts, not music. Stay focused on your content, there should be nothing on your website that takes focus away from that. Not to mention, as soon as a website starts playing music without my wanting it to I close out faster than you would ever believe and never go back to it.
Don't use WIX! Never have branding like that on your website if you're wanting to turn this into a serious business.
Sorry about the rant-ness of this post. But trust me, these rules need to be followed.

I wasn't using wix, the only reason i used wix was for the info, but i will change it later, thats why i am making the blogspot as the main urbanshyt page. i sell music i am a producer, other than that i will have a option of people to play the music or not =) i will follow the rest of the terms of yours
