Mr. Monopoly by Alec

22 Oct

Mr. Monopoly seems to be making a comeback. The black and white icon has been popping up around town on electrical boxes and appeared on the famous Banksy wall off Melrose. He has been spotted in Boston but no other news has surfaced. Presumably, the signed ‘Alec’ at the bottom of each composition is the artist, and seems to be following in the footsteps of each tagger that sweeps L.A. anew – Banksy, the first of Los Angeles street artists to completely encompass the city limits with his work, then go global, has set the standard for all those who follow – Mr. Monopoly surely has not made his final stop.
