About Easy Street Markets

Est. 2003. Relaunched 2026.

Easy Street Markets was founded in 2003 in Gainesville, Florida, as an online store selling screen-printed wildlife and nature merchandise. For twenty years, we sold wildlife t-shirts, mugs, crossing signs, and tote bags to zoo visitors, wildlife fans, and gift shop buyers across the United States. Our products were supplied by Atlas Screen Printing (wildcotton.com), a family-run print shop that is still in operation today.

In 2023 the original store went dark. In 2026, we brought the domain back ” but instead of rebuilding another storefront, we built something the wildlife merchandise market has been missing for twenty years: a comparison directory.

Why A Comparison Directory?

209 million Americans visit zoos every year. 96 million are active birdwatchers. Across every demographic, interest in wildlife, conservation, and nature has never been higher. And yet when someone sees an elephant at the zoo and wants to buy a shirt featuring one later, the online experience is a mess. Thousands of Amazon results, thousands of Etsy shops, thousands of Redbubble artists, no filtering, no comparison, no guide.

74% of online shoppers abandon their cart from choice overload. That is the exact problem we exist to solve for wildlife merchandise. We call it The Safari Scroll, and we built this directory to end it.

How We Make Money

When you click a product and buy it from Amazon, Redbubble, Etsy, or any other seller, we may earn a small commission. That is our only revenue source. Every product link includes affiliate tracking, which adds nothing to your cost – the seller pays us a small percentage of their margin in exchange for the referral.

Here is what we do not do: Accept payment for placement. Feature products because a vendor paid for visibility. Hide the affiliate relationship. Cherry-pick products based on which seller pays the highest commission.

Our Sources

Conservation status data comes from the IUCN Red List, the authoritative global database on the status of species. Wildlife illustrations on animal pages come from the Biodiversity Heritage Library, which hosts over 250,000 public-domain wildlife illustrations from the 1700s through the early 1900s, freely licensed for commercial use. Product data is gathered from public product listings and verified manually.
