It’s National Moth Week right now, and in honor of the event, I’m posting two works of art I’ve made this year featuring photos of moths I’ve taken from around my house. I’ve been documenting and creating art with these creatures for a few years now. Enjoy!

Living Colour – Middle Man
Call me old or whatever, but this video from one of my favorite bands, Living Colour, still rocks. And these guys are touring with Aerosmith right now, so hey.

RAW: Natural Born Artists – Supporters of Surrealism
I recently took part in a group artist showcase produced by the RAW: Natural Born Artists group. A rep from the organization noticed my Etsy shop, called me up, and invited me to join. I’m proud to say I am a RAW Artist, now having exhibited my handcrafted surrealism art in person. I sold several pieces to enthusiastic buyers, networked with my fellow creative tribe members, and was compelled to step up my game to make a solid impression. It’s so satisfying to take a chance with something you’re passionate about and have it work out well. Here are some photos of my setup and me hamming for the camera from the event.
And here’s a quick video of the construction of my booth sign – also handcrafted, of course:
What do you think? Have you ever been a part of a group project involving a creative passion? Do you go to craft fairs, buy things from Etsy or collect local art? Let us hear from you in the comments.

Mobile photography as of late
I don’t market myself as a photographer or even claim to be one. But I do take tons of pictures all the time. Some of these make it into my surrealist photomontage art over at RSMITHINGS.com, but others I’m content to just share for fun with minor edits (also done 100% via iPhone, like my art). Here are a few from this year so far that have enjoyed positive reception over at my Instagram, Flickr, Tumblr and Pinterest presences.
Alpaca Time – Richard Smith
New Art Park Downtown – Richard Smith
Dat Duck Doe – Richard Smith
Sunspots Original 1a – Richard Smith (see the complete Sunspots here)
Zoe May Be Part Teddy Bear – Richard Smith
What do you think? Do you take photos for use later or do you prefer to go with what’s there in the moment? Do you use your smartphone as a primary camera? Let us hear from you in the comments!
