TEMPT1 (aka Tony Quan) was a Los Angeles-based artist, activist and publisher. In his 25+ year career, he has curated art shows, done commission work for Tribal Gear and Third Rail clothing, mentored youth, spoken at the United Nations and created an international publication on street and urban art. In 2003, he was diagnosed with ALS (aka Lou Gehrig’s Disease), a degenerative neuromuscular disease that results in full paralysis. Never one to give up, Tempt collaborated with the Not Impossible Foundation and Graffiti Research Labs to create Eyewriter, software that allows people with paralysis to draw with their eyes. This piece was created with the software by Tony. The artwork was part of the Getting Upper exhibition at the Pasadena Museum of California Art. The print was published in an edition of 100. The majority of the edition was recycled when the museum closed their store and folded. Approximately 15 copies still exist.
