TRANIMAL: A participatory art piece originally created for Machine Project Gallery based on the drag style of Squeaky Blonde and Fade-Dra. In an assembly line setup where participants are made over/TRANS-formed into "Tranimals" by everyone mentioned in this article, including makeup god Mathu Anderson and fine art photographer Austin Young. "Tranimal" was coined by Jer Ber Jones
to describe the drag of people like (the late) Steve Lady, Jer Ber, Squeaky Blonde, Fade-Dra, etc. Enjoy these portraits by Austin Young from the Hammer Museum.
