BROOKLYN DRAG BROOKLYN DRAG BROOKLYN DRAG
In Brooklyn, New York, a vibrant, eclectic community of drag performers light up the city’s queer nightlife spaces. Performing for audiences across town until dawn seven days a week, these kings, queens, and even jokers serve as the city’s nightlife royalty and the lifeblood of local LGBTQ+ entertainment.
Seven nights a week, from crowds of just a few to sold-out dancefloors packed with hundreds, Brooklyn drag performers are in high demand. With looks to kill, performances that bring audiences to their knees, and the ability to bring the city’s queer scene together, drag is the bedrock of queer NYC nightlife.
This royal flush playing card sample features illustrations of some of the city’s finest kings and queens and, eventually, upon completion, aims to provide further visibility for the city’s drag community through a full playable card deck portraying illustrations of 53 different BKNY drag artists.

Queens, Kings, and queerdos are NYC’s unsung tastemakers when it comes to hair, makeup, fashion, and party culture. From bold looks to innovative events, New York City owes a great deal of its notoriety to its drag subculture that paved the way for some of the best fashion, parties, and nighttime entertainment in the world.
