“Alec Monopoly” is the alias of an unidentified graffiti artist, originally from New York City. The artist primarily works in the urban environments of major cities around the world, using varied materials (including stencils, spray paint, epoxies, varnishes and newspapers) to subversively depict various iconic pop culture characters.
