Tempt One
Tony Quan, tag name Tempt One or Tempt1, is an American graffiti artist who began writing in Los Angeles in the early 1980s.[1] His style fused the city's indigenous cholo writing culture with New York stylewriting to create a uniquely Los Angeles style.
In 2003, Tempt was diagnosed with the degenerative nerve disorder ALS.[2] Now fully paralyzed except for his eyes, Quan has been able to use the EyeWriter to continue his art.[3]
