He adopted the pen name Anonymous Boy after G.B. Jones, the editor of queer punk zine J.D.s, credited an illustration he'd submitted to "an anonymous boy".[1]

Anonymous Boy was a queer punk zine that Arena began in the 1980s and ran through the early 2000s with nine known collections.Шаблон:Citation needed

Film and animation

After this, he and boyfriend Ron Grunewald began producing a regular public access television show called The Wild Record Collection which appeared on Manhattan Neighborhood Public Access Television on Friday nights. Public Access pioneer George C. Stoney, widely regarded as "the Father of Public Access" was in attendance to vehemently criticize the featured programs as the "worst" of what Public Access had to offer.[2]

In 2001, Arena began writing a regular column for the long running punk rock zine Maximum Rocknroll. His column lasted until 2004. He continues to draw comics, contributes to books and publications, and produces his own fanzines Homopunk World, created in 1997.Шаблон:Citation needed Homopunk World featured interviews with many queer punk comics and musicians, including G.B.
