Mike Mozart is a certified legend easily one of the coolest guys around anyone who has beef with Mike Mozart has beef with me

[@gabrielhicks1037]

Mike Mozart mimo was an OG illustrator and decided to help an upcoming artist who used and disrespected his work, mimo was just far too nice and taken advantage of. The fact people see mr monopoly on the cross, such an iconic piece, and he doesn’t think of his name is a disgrace.

[@Feverdream101]

Mike Mozart was my childhood, I wish he came back to KZbin.🥲❤️

[@Saf_Ibn_Sayyad_Bacon]

He does sometimes

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

I’ve known about Mike for decades. I just found out about Alec McDouchery today. That should say it all.

[@kevinsigler6747]

What if Mike Mozart felt disrespected? His talent has not received the respect that it deserves. Not always about the money.

[@knock4banquetmeals]

Yeah mimo made that style that dude is a creative genius and been designing for like 30-40 + years

[@wenIambo]

So Alec Monopoly is doing a slow rug pull on his "Rags To Richies" NFT project. Mike Mozart came into the discord (it's in shambles, there are no mods bc apparently Alec didn't pay them so they quit), and was showing all his work dating back to pre-Alec days. Truly mind blowing stuff.

[@barney2120]

Mike mozart couldve earned much more than monopoly if he just continued jeepersmedia

[@vicism3375]

Jeepers media the only reason I’m here. he was one of the first KZbinrs to really show the formula in reality a lot of KZbin reviewers more than likely got their sauce from him. Real OG in the game.

[@TheBruceAllen]

Mike mozart really that dude

[@sodokami6347]

Came here after his stream and the mention of Alec

[@colinbe873]

Mike was live streaming back in 2011-2012

[@lebum2325]

I'm wondering how they get away with this, isn't the monopoly man a copyrighted character tho??

[@TheBruceAllen]

now THATS a good question

[@cgreedvisuals]

Yes it is and Hasbro is and has been in process of cease and desist of him using it. Google it and you shall see it all 🤙🏻

[@drmiteshtrivedi]

It sounds like Mimo dropped the ball.

[@dannygojcaj]

I remember watching the McDonalds snack maker video when it came out. Now the video is 8 years old

[@pafaccount4454]

Hey again Bruce (god tbh I miss your old name it was so perfect), I like this video and would love to see it as a series, but maybe like less of a reaction video. It would be really neat to see you examine multiple clips and give in depth history prior to presenting them.

[@TheBruceAllen]

I see what you are saying. That would be a good approach to Art Beefs. Ill keep that in mind for the next Art Beef i find. Thanks for being subbed so long!

[@colleystanczyk9561]

No matter what get it in writing with a base cost for design/concept and % of sale, otherwise these peeps will play you...I do this with all my projects collabs...those who are trying to play you won’t sign and look for others to dupe

[@kobweb2994]

Alec Monopoly’s money doesn’t come from his art. He was born into money, does anyone know of anyone that bought his art for thousands?

[@ArtbyDonOski]

Alec can definitely compensate him a million easily.. he showed his trading the other day and had over 9 mil in one account , plus his work sells for 100k or more regularly.

[@randomgrenade100]

I don’t understand how this doesn’t have more views...especially considering the value of alecs artwork and the fame Alec has. I use to watch mike Mozart’s toy Chanel as a kid, as a teenager I became inspired by lots of Alec monopoly’s art. I had no idea this is the man that inspired the man that inspired me to be an artist 🤦🏽‍♂️ mike Mozart deserves more recognition

[@TheBruceAllen]

Crazy how it all works out. They both deserve their own. GLad i could connect the dots.

[@mistereearly1141]

@@TheBruceAllen meanwhile they are both knocking off the original artist and brand inventor. When it comes down to who did it best, the best gauge is the bank. Hasbro wins.

[@sodokami6347]

[@kell733]

[@troyodell3686]

Contracts contracts contracts. Had there of been one then this would not be an issue.

[@klausable1]

You really need to watch the movie "Big Eyes." In this setting, Mimo would be Margaret and Alec would be the husband.

[@Iampremium_]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@matthewfellows1820]

in my opinion MIMO is like the Bill Gates/Microsoft of his work.... and Alec Monopoly is like Steve Jobs/Apple. i think that is the best way to describe this whole thing.

[@doingitdavy1507]

IMO its more like the Facebook movie, Zucks slow playin the The Twins, and on the DL your ..........Im sure you know the story, but yeah this type of stuff happens all the time. Im sure its MM's stuff, but for him to be paid, and do for 5 years...did you not go online or look at his content, and call him out then...Sus+Simp+Influ= drama

[@arkawiproductions3888]

If Alec Monopy is Jobs, Mike Mozart is Wozniak.

[@ByBowen]

I own the original shirt discussed in this video - signed by Alec and MiMo 6 times each. Hmu if you want it.

[@Damc3808]

He did it because Alec was irrelevant a nobody so helping a young kid out. Then he realized alex was using his work and designs and making a lot of money off it. He stole the concept. Look how they both draw it Alec literally doesn’t it exactly the same way step by step

[@MrDBcooper77]

I think it’s no surprise Alec uses Richie Rich…it was an inside joke about himself the whole time

[@93rdcreations33]

Alec just did Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” Podcast. It’s his first and only podcast interview.

[@thesuperspoiled301]

Alec isnt isn't itlian at all, he says he is persian? Also for an artist create 14,000 pieces for someone else to dupe, that is on them. They should have gotten a contrqct to protect them. Also more likely is the issue of copying in other areas. Alec can rightfully claim he chaged the images enough to make it his. Splatter, the spray painting and possibley other technoques making them uniquely his. Mike just got, got. And that is unfortunate but it is tge way of the world.

[@thesuperspoiled301]

So I remeber seeing him on my IG and I think via Twitter in 2006/2007? In LA and MIA. According to Wikipedia it says Alec moved to LA in 2006. That is about right it also claims his art is inspired by Bernie Madoff, that sounds like a crock because that was, way way after he was famous. And late in the game too! Do I think he was inspired by Mike's monopoly man? Mr Moneypenny? Maybe but once a character is 100 years or older you can invision them how ever you want. This is a little like Banksy and Mr Brainwash, someone always has talent and someone else always wants to be famous! So take your pick...

[@elwoodjacobs4353]

I wish Mike would just drop the art & come back to KZbin. Don't get me wrong, he does fine work, but when he showed people his art on livestream a few years ago, they just wanted new reviews.

[@victorcruz2181]

Wait the guy copy the monopoly character from the box so everybody copiing

[@drmiteshtrivedi]

Alec comes off as such a nozzle I had to unsub from his IG. I guess that's part of his brand.

[@awanderer6990]

Oh gosh. Copy and paste

[@claypool0]

[@sweaterzz5597]

If there was no contract than he doesn’t owe him anything lol

[@Flatearth69]

Good point about the contract no one thought of that

[@wenIambo]

Alec isn't Italian

[@fireproofart5526]

The real creator was Franklin Osborne Alexander for Parker Brother's IP in 1935. I've seen Mr Mozart traditional artwork and Alec do his artwork on his channel, and I don't question any of these guys art skills, but that really doesn't matter, who's first, because they are both not the first or the creators. Who draws or paints it the best is subjective. "IF" Mr. Mozart was paid for his services to Alec for creating images for Alec, thats fine. That sounds like a legit business arrangement. Alec is a better marketer than Mr. Mozart, which is probably why Mr. Mozart is upset. Alec doesn't "OWE" Mr. Mozart any Credit or Money "unless he was delinquent on an agreed payment", but Alec should've of held in "Reguard"(take care of his people) of Mr. Mozart. Mr. Mozart really should not be publicly shaming this IP or their Art skills, or business arrangement. and would benefit from better business arrangements or marketing.

[@bobd4120]

Bro you know this seems kinda weird, like Alec Monopoly style is more original, he explores The Monopoly man theme better, his art is and process of making it is way more authentic. Mimo looks more like a guy who is trying to get attention, i think he actually was an assistant and helped with creating the canvas but then tried to get clout . Just my opinion

[@williamferreira5716]

Alec monopoly is a clout chasing rich boy. Wake the fuck up

[@williamferreira5716]

@- _ yes this is why I dislike Alec so much, is because he simply did not come up with his own rendition of things, gondek, jerk face etc all do Disney pop art but it’s there own rendition, Alec strate up took from mimo
