In 2003, "Tempt" was diagnosed with ALS
(Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a rare neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and resulting in paralysis. For the past year, Tempt has been courageously battling this disease in the hospital. Those who love and care for him are filled with the hope that he can return home to the loving care of his family. This will undoubtedly lift his spirits and strengthen his will to continue to fight this war against ALS. However, due to the seriousness of this disease he will need special medical attention, around the clock nursing and
equipment to sustain him in a home environment.
In order to make this vision a reality, we are organizing an Art Show featuring some of the world's most prolific Graffiti Artists, who have agreed to donate all of the proceeds from their work to raise funds to provide Tempt with the care he will
require at home.
On behalf of Tempt, his family and his friends, we thank you for your generous support and for your love.
Please make a donation of any kind today by clicking the button below. 100% of donation will go towards Tempt's medical care.

Who I'd like to meet: LA Graffiti King Tempt One STN
"When I think about graffiti in Los Angeles one name really
comes to mind and that is Tempt. He is an original writer from the old school era and has been pioneering since the early '80s. He is definitely one of the most versatile graff writers in the world. His hand styles are unmatched on the West Coast, but what really separates him from the herd is his mastery of the LA gangster writing, which is unique in its own. His can control, color combinations and smooth blends are legendary. He has paid his dues on the late night freeway bombing tip, held down yards, buses, and just about everything else imaginable to a graff artist. Tempt, along with Relic, put out one of LA’s first graff magazines 'Big Time.' The articles and words he expressed in 'Big Time' were insightful, inspiring and downright prophetic. Tempt is the true King of Los Angeles graff."

AN ATTEMPT TO SILENCE SOMEONE IS TO PAY THEM HOMAGE, FOR IT IS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THEIR ARGUMENTS ARE BOTH IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER AND IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. --Ed Steele
