What you're looking for is how to build an e-commerce website. Another person was looking to do something similar recently, so I'll just give you a link to that post.

The custom artwork will be a bit more tricky, as it's a much more specialized task, and one that I'm not all that familiar with. Try Googling around to see if you can come up with anything.

For future reference, here is a copy of the linked post:

WordPress with the WooCommerce plugin would work great for that, and Treehouse has courses for both. To get started quickly, you can take a look at these courses:

If you find that you want to go under the hood and really customize the website, here are some courses for WordPress theme development. You'll probably need to learn some PHP and JavaScript to do these, FYI.

Hope that helps!

I personally don't recommend this, but if you want to, you can probably whip up one of these sites (with WordPress and WooCommerce) in about an hour with little to no coding knowledge required (minus the custom artwork bit). The first two Treehouse courses I linked are all very high-level overviews of WordPress and the third one specifically covers how to work with the WooCommerce plugin for WordPress. None of them require any previous knowledge of coding.

The last three courses cover how to develop WordPress websites using custom themes. They require a pretty thorough grasp of HTML and CSS, as well as a working knowledge of PHP and a smidgen of JavaScript, all of which are taught here at Treehouse. This allows you to develop a website completely from scratch without modifying a theme someone else has already put together.

The WordPress Development track would also be good to check out, as it will present courses that build on top of each other, so that you never take a course without taking its prerequisites.

Hope that helped!

EDIT: As for the custom artwork bit, I honestly don't know much about that. If it's as simple as uploading an image, then WordPress can handle it for you. If you want a full-blown t-shirt customizer, that would be a lot more difficult and would either require using a third-party library or writing a ton of JavaScript.
