Hello guy's At last I have a website... In between work and trying to travel I have been slowly trying to design and build a website for clients to look at. Many customers kept asking to see my website instead of the old Yellow Pages ,well I finally finished this blog site where people can leave messages and hopefully enjoy the site . I found it hard trying to design my own website, especially coming up with an easy working surround and header. A close friend made the site all work and I designed the look of it. It will be an on going process of uploading my work but I have loaded some and will carry on loading picks now and again. This site design may seem a little over the top but I feel that this is what some of the original businesses were like many years ago with there shopfronts and stationary, poster advertising ,ephemera and especially in our line of work here signwriting. I also never realised how much time is needed to make your own site. Please take your time looking round and check down the right side for upload dates to see when photos were and will be added. Hope you like it. don't get lost! and if you do hit the home button.. Thanks Dave http://www.davidadriansmith.com

Hi David Most outstanding work. Such skill and dedication to craftsmanship. - Stunning
Working on your own material is like giving yourself a haircut - a tedious and painful process. I'm in the same process and have hired someone to create a design brief and direction for my site. Your website captures the spirit of your work nicely, it has a sense of arrival.

David this is Exceptional...Love it, well done...I do find the pics sometimes are a bit big and I have to scroll up and down to take it all in, and it would be nice to not to have to do that...That said, I really like the arrow at the side of the pic which allows you to move freely throught the pics on each project...The site truely exampliflies who your are and what you do...Thanks , for us, its food for the soul.

Thanks Patrick. I have been making the designs for designers and signartists. Istock is a good source for artwork. This is my link to my page on Istock.
