Tickled that @youngbloodrecords wanted to collab with me for their vintage hardcore found art t-shirt collection! This is one of several pen and ink drawings I made to headline the Scene News section of Positive Influence zine. This particular doodle appeared on the inside cover of issue no 4 and the original piece of art reads, “Scene News For Feb.”
The t-shirt is on preorder now at shop.youngblood-records.com
Three decades after the last issue Positive Influence was released, the ‘zine is seeing new life!
We are very siked to have the opportunity to collect and release an old favorite. Every logo, ad, illustration, photo, and page of this zine is a blueprint. Positive Influence was done by Anji Lum from Oct 1988 until sometime during the beginning of 1990 in San Pedro, CA – 100% pure SoCal teenage hardcore exuberance. Anthology coming soon! 
A 1988 illustration by Anji Bee for New Age Records is making a comeback! This pen and ink drawing of a straight edge guy jumping while pumping his fist was used in the early days of this So Cal hardcore punk label. Nearly 3 decades later, the label is dropping tees, hats, and buttons with this iconic drawing that in all honesty, was drawn to look like Anji’s Positive Influence zine partner, Buster Cates.

A new “coffee table” book collecting stories and ephemera from the infamous LA underground club, Jabberjaw, has been released by Rizzoli Publishing. Anji Bee’s zine SUBSTITUTION had many ties to the club, having been sold at their concessions stand to club patrons, and the zine itself featured a number of show reviews and photographs taken there. Anji and her partner, Sam, even organized an event at Jabberjaw to launch the second issue of SUBSTITUTION. As such, Anji contributed a number of photographs and show flyers — as well as some text — to this archival book organized by club co-owner, Michelle Carr, and assembled by Bryan Ray Turcotte. Check out It All Dies Anyway: LA, Jabberjaw, and the End of and Era on Amazon.
