# Neon v1 — Graffiti

A spray-painted zigzag: a rainbow stroke doubles back down the frame, each pass ringed by darker, fatter echoes like overspray.

A luminous stroke zigzags down the black canvas in full spectrum, and behind it
sit progressively wider, darker copies of the same mark, so the line seems to
float in its own overspray. The figure folds and unfolds continuously without
ever leaving its vertical band.

The glow is built by repetition, not blur: the same displaced-point tube is
redrawn several times per frame, each pass thinner and brighter than the one
beneath, ending in a hot core over fat dim halos. The angle mapping is also
deliberately over-driven past its nominal range, which snaps the curve into
harder kinks than the plain strand this version grew from.
