Answer 1

I was in the same position you are in with a line of t-shirts I was trying to market a year ago and had to close my business due to health reasons. But I really studied the marketing done by successful lines and I think the most successful way to get your shirts moving would be to find some way to get someone in the publics eye wearing one of the shirts. This might involved giving away a couple dozen shirts to people whom you think would wear it in public, but if you do, I'd bet you couldn't keep up with the demand.

Another suggestion might be to approach church youth groups and let them sell your shirts to their members for a share of the profits for their youth group; you'd probably not only get the kids buying the shirts, but their parents as well. It might not sound like a lot of shirts at first, but if you could find 100 groups buying 25 shirt per group, you'd sell 2500 shirts and more importantly get 2500 new repeat customers.

Last but not least, as soon as you can afford it, get a better web site, you're in the graphics business and that site is really not selling your image. Your goal should be to come up with creative ways to get people coming back to your site more than just a couple of times. Maybe you could have a photo contest where people send in photos of the "Holiest" place they've worn your shirt and others vote on it. Or maybe people submit design ideas they'd like to see you put on shirts and others vote on those. In either case, people are going to want to see how their vote ended up doing.

Hope these ideas help you a little.

Start a myspace site and send out some samples to famous Christians with a request to help you in promoting your shirts by sporting them.
