Tony’s Story

To know our history, you should know our inspiration.

Tony “Tempt” Quan is a legendary LA graffiti artist, social activist and publisher internationally known for his innovative artistic style and his efforts to build and nurture the California street art scene over the last three decades.

In 2003, Tony was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, a degenerative neuromuscular disease that has left him almost completely physically paralyzed. Tony is unable to move, breathe, eat or speak, but his mind and creative spirit are completely intact…and he can still move his eyes.
