Tony Quan (1968/69 – September 1, 2023), better known by the tag name Tempt One or Tempt1, was an American graffiti artist who began painting graffiti in Los Angeles in the early 1980s.[1]
Style
Tempt's style combined the city's local cholo graffiti culture with New York's hip-hop lettering to create a unique "Los Angeles" style.
Illness and death
In 2003, Tempt was diagnosed with the degenerative nerve disorder ALS.[2] Fully paralyzed except for his eyes, he was able to use the EyeWriter to continue his art.[3]
Tempt died on September 1, 2023, at the age of 54.[4]
