  • We often see his art, never see his face but finally get to hear him speak! Alec Monopoly grew up painting the streets of New York, whether on billboards or buildings nothing could contain his creativity. He keeps his identity a secret to ensure his illegal graffiti tagging persists without consequence. His artistic inspirations stem from Basquiat and Keith Haring; with his signature being an homage to both (The E in his signature is the font Basquiat used to use and the action marks above the C are that of Keith Haring). Whether in the streets or in galleries; Alec is an ever changing artist who is always thinking about his next piece.

    What I think is funny is that he said “I’m a graffiti artist “ graffiti is illegal... these wall as you’re getting paid for.... not only are they NOT graffiti... they also are not.....Illegal... I guess

      No, he is a fraud who copys art and is unoriginal. It would be fine if he said the youtuber he got it from but no. Nothing original but something he copyed from a good original youtuber.

    I think it's common sense that he didn't actually steal the monopoly character.. it's trendy and it's a good idea to turn that iconic symbol into street art. He's so dope.

    Romans 6:23
    For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
    Come to Jesus Christ today
    Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
    Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
    Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
    Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
    John 3:16-21
    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
    Mark 1.15
    15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
    2 Peter 3:9
    The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
    Hebrews 11:6
    6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
    Jesus
