In 2003, TEMPT was diagnosed with ALS. Except for the use of his eyes, he is now unable to move, breathe or speak, but his mind and creative spirit are intact. Mick Ebeling founded the Not Impossible Foundation in order to give a voice back to TEMPT, and in 2009 an open-source DIY device called ‘The EyeWriter’ was created that allowed TEMPT to once again do his art.
Job well done.
Got to give it up to the creator, the innovator and one of the best dudes I will ever know. I found a box of pictures while cleaning out my garage and figured I would share. Looks like these were snapped ’99-’01. Need to find the next set of flicks when the rollers really started kickin’ in.
Derek Albeck, the kindest most gentlest guy around, recently won the Beautiful Decay X Canson wet paint grant so congratulations BAB. Click here for more on the grant and to see some of Dereks insane drawings.
We did a poster and tee shirt design for Skrillex last week for his upcoming LA Takeover tour. Everything is hand drawn then scanned in and put together to make the final image. Have a look.
SO SO BOMB!!!
