Possible Pieces Merchandise

Hey there guys, I was thinking of a good way to increase attention and also to have some products that people can buy from me. I was thinking of
1. Calendar with all the cover images for each month
2. T-shirt with a pieces design on it
3. Actual small printed 'zine for people who actually want a hard copy of the 'zine to have and cherish forever.

What are your thoughts? If there is enough interest I can totally start a store. How many of you would be interested in one or all of these offered on the site?
