Tony 'TEMPT ONE' Quan began writing in Los Angeles in the early 1980s as a foundational member of K2S (Kill 2 Succeed) and STN, fusing traditional Chicano plaqueado script with New York wildstyle. After being diagnosed with ALS, Tempt collaborated with engineers and fellow writers to pioneer the EyeWriter eye-tracking system, continuing to project monumental tags onto buildings worldwide.
