That would be depend on your local (city, county and state) laws and zoning ordnance’s, but most likely you will need a business license, or sales tax permit at the least. I would recommend that you check with your state’s website and you will probably find a section on business or commerce.

Huh… I see. In that case, I think it would be a good idea to check out the website in my source.

You might want to check with your local Chamber of Commerce to get the best answers for your area. And also some useful contacts.
You might also look into something like CafePress where you can offer your designs online on tshirts, mugs, posters, stickers, greeting cards, calendars. They will take the orders, handle the credit cards, make the items, ship them, handle returns, etc. They also advertise you well. For each item that is sold with your design you can get a couple of dollars.
You might also check into the CafePress forums. Some people (like me) have lots of ideas for witty sayings and such but no artwork to go with them. You can make a side business selling simple doodle-art to the other shopkeepers to go with their design ideas.
