David Adrian Smith – Born and Raised Album Cover

It is fair to say that now-a-days this is the main thrust of his work. There is, however, more to his story. His career in sign-writing began in 1984, when he left Westlands School in Torquay, aged 16 and was apprenticed for 5 years with Gordon Farr & two associates. These gentleman were traditional sign-writers, who had come up through the ranks and Gordon, in particular had an almost uncanny ability to paint letters, accurately laid out, without even a preliminary sketch. Under their tutelage, Dave became an accomplished draftsman, accurate letter painter & talented pictorialist.

Solar-powered moonrise - a streetlight concept

Not until the sun begins to set, does a preset timer cause their inefficient bulbs to flicker on, illuminating the ground below until morning. Since electricity is costly and these lamps are exposed to daylight at least 12 hours a day, many have wondered about powering them with the sun instead. We’ve featured several solar-powered streetlight designs, some simple and some that feature a combination of alternative energy sources.

But so far, this design by a young Korean industrial designer is the only one that seeks to use the sun to mimic the moon. Most of us know that a solar eclipse is a phenomenon of nature during which the angle of the earth causes it to appear as though the sun is blotted out by the moon. The Solar Eclipse streetlight features a gently arching design, reminiscent of the heavenly bodies’ trajectory across the sky. Embedded within the arc is a mobile solar panel and circular lamp. . * Beth Buczynski, EarthTechling. Pictogram music posters.
