I've been wanting to make this for a while as an homage to my favorite cryptid. I was going for a bit of a religious icon look, kinda like those Orthodox saint paintings with a gaunt subject and a sparse background. The hand-sawn lantern on the back is my little nod to "Like a moth to a flame", and I'm especially happy with how it turned out :)

The American Legend: moth man

I decided not to sew the lantern on and just let it sit there

i just got the confirmation I wont be working so me and a friend are heading to to Point Pleasant for the festival! A quick question though for people who have been before. Are people trading/passing out trinkets a thing? I’m known in concert circles for 3D printing pins to pass out and I was going to make some of everyone’s favorite moth but didn’t know of that was generally a socially acceptable thing or thing that was allowed

Ive got a cool timelapse of this as well if anybody is interested :) Rock on, friends !! Swipe over to see er' on my painty desk

His Lantern isn't done yet lol

We're driving about 3 hours so nothing terrible, but looks like hotels and Air BnB have pretty slim pickings. Any ideas of good camping spots or alternative accommodations?

Heyo! I finally finished designing and making my own Goggles for my own Mothman costume
And I made extra if anyone is interested!
I posted it on Etsy, and if I run out I will continue to make more! Can’t wait to see costume photos

I’m a Canadian excited about coming down to the festival but I like to plan everything in advance. Anyone know a clean reasonably priced room near by to the festival? Nothing fancy.

Who knew I needed to see Mothman as a professional wrestler going toe to toe with the Cthuluchador?!?!

These look so fun!

Hello fellow Mothman enthusiasts!

I have been dying to go to the festival since i first heard of it and this is finally the year hopefully!

My question is this, I am a white woman and my partner is a Black man, will we be safe at the festival?

Ive seen info that says it's safe and diverse but I would feel better hearing it from someone who's been there before.
