To cut a longer story short - Today I used Boris FX to create one of those "route reveal" lines on a map. I got some tips from the Creative Cow website and through their Grafitti FX Forum. (For me I had to add another 35 USD to fly the packet out to Japan!)įX shares the same interface, but thanks to my basic knowledge of Graffiti I was able to get along a bit easier. Then last week, after reading a tip on the Forum about Boris FX discount sale I went ahead and added that to my Graffiti.
but slowly things are beginning to make sense.
I have not been putting in enough hours trying to climb the steep learning curve. Maybe the Queen could tell her servants to add some swearwords overnight? Then Network Rail would have to clean it off.It is almost 6 months ago that I bought Boris Graffiti.Īs a person used to Liquid, HFX, TDKPro as well as some Adobe and some Macromedia programmes - I found the Graffiti interface completely alien. Which “Helch” doesn’t? Not as far as we know. Except … again, it is painted on Network Rail’s property, and its policy is to remove only graffiti that has an obscene meaning. What about all the other residents of Windsor? Many locals want the Windsor HELCH removed.
“The Queen was extremely upset,” according to an unnamed royal source at the Sun. Most shockingly of all, a gigantic (3m by 18m) HELCH recently appeared on the side of another viaduct in Windsor – right in front of Windsor Castle as you enter the town. I suppose at least Boris Johnson will prefer that. The same site now reads, “Boris is HELCH”. Then, this month, HELCH went to Bristol, where the words “Boris is …” had recently been removed from a bridge over the M4. Over the past year, HELCH has started to appear all over London, sometimes replacing historic and much loved “ghost signs”, such as the Philco advert in Hanger Lane, or another in Chalk Farm. Still, I hope whoever was behind it learned a lesson from the backlash.
Network Rail, which owns the viaduct, can’t encourage illegal graffiti, you see. To date, 6,919 people have signed a petition to restore the original, without success. So they vandalised the vandalism? I’m afraid so. But over the course of three nights, it was turned into GIVE HELCH A BREAK. Isn’t graffiti always controversial, being vandalism and thus not allowed ? Yes, but this one replaced a very popular piece of graffiti, which had been there for many years, which read GIVE PEAS A CHANCE. It seems that the first one arrived, very controversially, last September, on the side of the Chalfont viaduct over the M25, north-west of London. Whoever is responsible for HELCH has made a lot of enemies, by painting it in block capitals on various buildings and bridges in the south of England.Īh! So it’s a graffiti tag? That’s right. But what does it mean? It means someone has written the word HELCH on something.Īre you trying to annoy me? No, but someone is.
