Celebrating 5 years in business!
I am celebrating this fall, 5 years of a sole proprietorship that is called The Concern ! Please use discount code FIVEYEARSOLD at checkout on the web store for 15 % off all orders, valid through October 31. What started as a postpartum web store project has taken me through quite a turbulent 5 years in the world, the latter few feeling pretty alienating somehow, but it's been interesting to say the least. It's been a way to connect with people in the local community & internationally in terms of buying, selling & the sharing of mutual interests. I really appreciate those of you who appreciate what I do & have taken notice. And here's to continuing on!
New Publication-> Awkward Life: Photographs by Ludovic Raymondo
This is the second in a series of publications produced by Jerstin Crosby in partnership with The Concern in collaboration with an artist that has suffered a life changing injury after a period of artistic output or study. The first was ‘What He Say? They Say It To Him? Drawings by Elliot Feltner, published in July 2020.
Awkward Life is a collection of photographs by Long Island- based artist Ludovic Raymondo. Ludovic studied art & design and was involved in the NY skate community. After college, he suffered a traumatic brain injury that led down a long road of recovery. These candid photos are snapshots of his life and his developing sense of personal creative output conducted prior to the accident. Ludovic’s recovery is ongoing but he collaborated fully with the production of this publication.

Open call- The Concern. A Magazine Issue 2, 2019
We are now taking submissions for The Concern. A Magazine, issue 2, which will be published this fall. Unlike issue 1, which was entirely black and white, xerox printed, this 2nd issue will allow for color pages, but still printed with a DIY touch. We are looking for submissions that relate to being concerned about something, it could be anything. It could take the form of writing (poetry, articles, short stories) or artwork (drawing, collage, video stills, photography, etc). Though we can’t say we will accept all submissions, as a curated bookstore, this magazine will also be a curated collection. Please submit something to theconcernnewsstand (a) gmail, by September 15. Thank you!
