In 2003, graffiti artist and writer Tony Quan (aka TEMPTONE) was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. This disease has left him paralyzed with the exception of his eyes. This is where the EyeWriter comes in. This eye-tracking apparatus and custom, open source software allows Tony and other artists with paralysis to create art using only their eyes.

Art is a tool of empowerment and social change, and I consider myself blessed to be able to create and use my work to promote health reform, bring awareness about ALS and help others.
– Tony Quan, aka TEMPTONE

Watching Milton Glaser’s magical color pencil move and make forms makes me want to draw!

For me, drawing has always been an absolutely primary way of encountering reality. I’m astonished by drawing. I always think of every drawing as a kind of miraculous occurrence.
– Milton Glaser

Milton Glaser Draws & Lectures: A Short Film was filmed at Milton’s studio in 2006 by C. Coy
