Transmography: Thirteen Fairytale Portraits of Queers Beyond the Gender Binary
Leo
Bay Area residents: tonight is the opening of the Transmography exhibit at the Union Square Lomo store!
Transmography is a collaboration between photographer Najva Sol and artist Molly Crabapple. Najva took the photos using a Lomo camera, and Molly embellished them with her unique illustrations:
Transmogrify, Verb: To transform, esp. in a surprising or magical manner.
From poets to porn-stars, computer nerds to community gardeners, artists to activists: these portraits capture some of the real gender warriors today. They are trans, genderqueer, or just gender-fabulous, and they deserve their own magical realm.

You can also see the photos on display at the New York Lomo store in Greenwich Village, or buy them on Molly’s site. All prints are 17? x 17?. The images are signed and numbered by both artists in an edition of 5, and cost $200 each. More images, after the cut.
