Books by Andy Colvin. The Mothman’s Photographer: The Work of an Artist Touched by the Prophecies of the Infamous Mothman. The Mothman’s Photographer II: Meetings With Remarkable Witnesses Touched by Paranormal Phenomena, UFOs, and the Prophecies of West Virginia’s Infamous Mothman. The Mothman’s Photographer III: Meetings With Remarkable West Coast Witnesses Touched By The Anomalous Activities Of Interdimensional Entities, Archetypal Avatars, And The Eerie Yet Enlightening Phenomenon Known Infamously As Mothman.

Spurred by the realization that the 9/11 attacks were accurately predicted - in 1967 - by a friend who was seeing Mothman, Seattle artist Andy Colvin began documenting his experiences growing up in WV. The resulting video featured interviews with dozens of paranormal witnesses and experts, including celebrated ufologist John Keel, who originally investigated the sightings in Colvin's neighborhood. Colvin himself began a long series of interviews on radio and TV shows. In addition to doing hundreds of hours of interviews, Colvin generated over 3000 pages of writing, and several thousand photographs, devoted to exploring the mysteries of the Mothman phenomenon. This photo book, "The Mothman's Photographer I," features 300 of Colvin's eerie, symbolic images. There are brief descriptions of all photos, an artist's statement, and a forward by Dave Scott, curator for the Cincinnati Gallery of Conceptual Art. Colvin's images dramatically illustrate his theory that birdmen such as Mothman, Garuda, and Thunderbird are actually archetypal, crime-fighting "superheroes" from the collective unconscious. The job of these avatars is to send dreams, visions, and psychic messages to ordinary humans, thus stimulating insight, creativity, and intellectual growth. Regardless of the source, Colvin's talent as an artist shines through in his drawings and photographs. Despite his spare, unblinking approach, his work is funny and entertaining. Somehow it achieves a poetic magic. It may even represent a breakthrough in how we perceive the mysterious. By taking 25 years and devoting it to nothing but the audiovisual documentation of his own life, Colvin has produced a body of work that transcends the mundane and defies categorization.
  • I think Andy sums this book up perfectly for for me, when he writes in his quote at the front of the book;
    "While I have come to understand a bit of what it all may mean, there are still deeper layers that go beyond me, to the realm of the collective unconscious.
    It is most likely there that the only enduring answers can be found."
    If you're a fan of the "Mothman" phenomena, I think you'll find this book speaks to you subconsciously better than any novel on the subject could.
    Eerily good.

  • I bought this book for my brother for Christmas this past year as he loves all things Mothman. I just took the time to really check out the photography and read about the different pictures. Very interesting, very creepy, but awesome just the same! Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in Mothman and paranormal events.

  • Imagine you have placed a psychic filter on your senses and traveled thru the world taking in the minutia of daily life. What you would see is a world where every landscape, every situation, every fragment of life exists in a web of previously unrealized interconnections. The Mothman's Photographer is a glimpse of such a world. This collection is really quite admirable in its relentless, single-mindedly driven unearthing of the psychic underbelly of the world we live in. Taken as a whole (and reading the notes and descriptions provided by the artist) the collected images meld into a collage emoting one man's quest for meaning in the seeming detritus of our world.

    Considering the natural limitations of the book format (size), the images evocatively weave together a chronicle of related artifacts and observances from the artist's life and travels. I look forward to seeing these images presented in a gallery setting where I can imagine the power of the works would be even further enhanced by larger image formats and room to relate the images in smaller and intimately evocative groupings. I'm sure such an on site treatment would take the strength of the book's presentation and render the artist's vision in an even more oblique and involving meditation on our world of shadows.

    This book sneaks up on you and encircles you in the potent evocations of this singular artist's vision. We can all look forward to enveloping ourselves in these images in the future.

  • "The Mothman's Photographer" is absolutely one of the best examples of investigative photo reporting I've ever seen. Colvin paints a fascinating socio-political/paranormal collage with haunting images that draw the viewer into each individual picture like a magical doorway. He compiles so much information into this beautiful book that you will feel compelled to view it over and over again. I have found it to be a wonderful book of reference that I can return to like an oracle to help evoke hidden patterns of meaning in my own 'reality'. Anyone looking for a completely unique and intensely personal experience of the Mothman phenomenon will find what they are seeking here. This book is a must-have companion to "The Mothman's Photographer" DVD's.

  • Hello, Friend. We have all heard the following paradigm: "GOOD-FAST-CHEAP: CHOOSE ANY TWO". With Colvin's work, thankfully, one receives all three. Let's break this one down for any spreadsheet mavens that may be reading this riff. Consider the following: Your HVAC unit[s] crap[s] out prior to [or during] an extreme weather scenario. Just try to find a technician who will fix your predicament in a timely fashion while coming under budget. Not to mention the fact that you will probably be paying $60 [or more] per hour. Now, contrast this with the $30 you will be spending for Colvin's high weirdness and revelatory missives, which will no doubt mend and/or challenge your psyche. [Not to mention the hours of entertainment one will experience in the wealth of diverse imagery sure to challenge the likes of any Diane Arbus fan and redefine the role of the artist in today's society] If you live in the U.S. of A., you will need a soul cleansing. I should know... I live in the midwest territory, where one can recall the glory of the Mayan empire and everything occurs ten years later... Fortunately, the present moment is infinite... Anyway, buy the book, strike a pose, fill your nose with Chiquita byproduct and buckle your chinstrap... Also, remember to breathe and avoid run-on sentences!
