Whats even fascinating about this is that it is the raindrops that make the light.
“As water pours over the surface, potential energy from raindrops slamming onto the conductive membrane called PDVF transforms into electrical energy powering embedded LEDs sending your umbrella ablaze with light. The heavier the rain, the brighter the light to help you see your way.” (from yankodesign site)
I was browsing the web as you do, and come across a fantastic artist aged 36 from Las Vegas, Nevada. His name – Danny Roberts.
I really do enjoy looking at his art. They are really fantastic.
“The majority of my fine art could be described as statement art. It’s about conflict and social commentary, particularly of the suit and tie crowd. ” says Danny Roberts from his myspace page.
The man who wrote the famous films Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle.
I absolutely adore these two anime films. They are the most capturing films one could ever watch that really brings you into your sense of imagination. And I personally think that it could do that to the viewer whatever age they may be. Don’t be naive just because they are anime. I truly respect Hayao Miyazaki and the team alongside him who brought these two ingenious films.
The film Spirited Away received many awards; it was the first anime film to win an Academy Award, including the second Oscar ever awarded for Best Animated Feature. Spirited Away overtook Titanic to become the highest-grossing film in Japanese history.
Howl’s Moving Castle went on to gross $231,710,455 worldwide, making it one of the most financially successful Japanese films in history. USA Today critic Claudia Puig praised it for its ability to blend “a childlike sense of wonder with sophisticated emotions and motives” while Richard Roeper called it an “insanely creative work”. [1]
I seriously recommend watching these films if you haven’t already.
