Crooked Brook Art Sutdio an example of quality
One of the problems faced by many designers and artist who are getting started in the streetwear-fashion, apparel and decorated apparel business is that more often than not, they have to operate out of their apartment; making patterns and cutting fabric on the floor or kitchen table and sewing their own orders.
They finally get a break with a decent size order, but it is too big for them to produce by themselves but not big enough to meet the minimums of a contractor.
Or their business is out growing the space they have or they have space but not the tools, equipment, machines and skilled labor needed to take it to the next level.
Crooked Brook is a unit of the atelier division of an art studio that offers full service apparel design, pattern making, sample making, private-label small lot production and embroidery.

Direct to Garment Printing (DTG)
Although the most popular method of printing t-shirts is screen printing, Crooked Brook t-shirts are printed using Direct To Garment Printing (DTG) which is the process of using inkjet printers to print an image directly onto t-shirts without the use of screens like with screen printing, which requires a lot of setup e.g., creating screens for each color. In addition, DTG printing uses eco-friendly, water soluble ink, unlike some screen printing methods that layer Plastisol (a suspension of PVC particles in a plasticizer) on top of the t-shirt. The only requirement for DTG printing is for the image to be high resolution, resulting in photograph quality printing with no setup fee or minimums for custom t-shirts.
