Success didn’t take the street out of me

I paint Mr. Monopoly on walls, canvases, cars, cards and watch dials. When the paint dries, I get behind the decks.

Welcome to Money World

The MONEYMON studio: yellow walls painted with city skylines, a green floor with a blue river, Alec Monopoly standing between two portrait canvases

Woke up with an idea, turned it into reality the same day

I painted the walls, the floor and the river that runs across it. MONEYMON, CASHQUAZA and Ca$hrizard were all born in this yellow room.

New York kid. My mother was an artist, so I learned from her first.

Then I walked out of art class and taught myself on the street.

The banker came firstThe idea for my Mr. Monopoly started with Bernie Madoff. Money, power and everybody chasing both is still the subject.

LA had the billboardsI moved to Los Angeles in 2006. Billboards everywhere, and a city that let me work.

Then the walls moved indoorsGalleries on four continents, a museum show in Bangkok, Art Basel Miami, and now my own yellow room.
