Here are some things that people said about us that prove we are good.

MAG.NIFICENT:
Jason Crombie is a fantastic gentleman and the brains behind Woooo, an interview based, pocket-sized FREE quarterly publication (and we love free shit!). I can picture Mr. Crombie riding his little bike around, hand delivering his stacks of Woooo about NYC. He also sometimes makes t-shirts with gay ghosts and his friends photos on them to promote the publication.
Issue #4 of Woooo features interviews with Vice magazine founder Suroosh Alvi, sexy 80’s pop sensation Wendy James, viking artist Gardar Eide Einarsson, photographer Jason Nocito, actress Martha Plimpton, music icon Thurston Moore, pro skateboarder/artist Mark Gonzales, DFA dj James Murphy and Madam of the Night Xaviera Hollander.
Mr. Crombie’s style of interviewing is conversational, revealing and utterly hilarious. In lieu of gushing over Jason and how he almost made me pee myself on the bus, I think I’d rather provide you with my favorite excerpts from Issue #4 of Wooo. So here you go folks!

The story behind the story of Jason Crombie’s latest T-shirts
The creative process is one of constant evolution and growth. Take it from New York artist Jason Crombie, whose indie interview zine Wooooo first spawned a series of cartoon-ghost T-shirts when it launched three years ago. The ghoulish icon has become something of an unofficial logo for the mag, what with the ghostly catchphrase being the actual title and all. Now there’s a line that piggybacks on the popularity of the original ghost tees while creating its own mass hysteria.
Hand-screened in Chinatown by Crombie and his assistant Carlos, the new shirts feature pictures of Crombie’s buds wearing the original tees. The picture-in-picture approach is boosting sales of both the first ghost shirts (back in circulation due to popular demand). All of this sounds like a very clever sales experiment. It’s probably only minutes before the big brands catch onto it. Imagine a Vuitton bag with a picture of another Vuitton bag printed on it. Or an Armani suit lined in silk embroidered with other little Armani suits. Anyway, the new issue of Wooooo is out soon and the limited-edition tees are selling like there’s no tomorrow. Get ’em while you can.
