Life and workEdit
Beto grew up in San Fernando and moved to Los Angeles in 2006. He found working there was easier because of the many billboards in the city,

Beto Jimenez is best known for his Betty boop and Richie rich graffiti character and also Monopoly Man, an idea originally inspired by the stockbroker Bernie Madoff. According to John Wellington Ennis writing for the Huffington Post, "In an era of billion dollar bailouts for banks that already own the country and moguls decrying regulation as un-American, the re-contextualization of the childhood symbol of success and wealth almost needed no explanation." Beto also pastes up images of Lil devil.

In November 2010 he had his first solo gallery show in mexico.
