Alas-King
First time painting on a spray can — meet Alas-King, my original character brought to life in a whole new way. Turning art into object, and object into art.
Ambootleg is the first-ever designer toy exhibit in Iligan City. And no, these aren’t bootlegs. All the toys here are original, made by local artists with characters they created. But you might still feel a little “hala murag kaila ko ani” because traces of pop culture sneak into the shapes, faces, and attitudes. That’s the fun of it.
Ambot means “I don’t know,” bootleg means “not official”. Together it’s a wink, a remix, a rebellion. These toys don’t follow the rules. They follow instinct, memory, and sometimes, just vibes. Question your childhood. Then say “ambot uy, ganahan lagi ko ani.”

ALAS-KING
"Don't let your fear's hold You"
Acrylic on canvas
24X24 inches
2025
Available at @inato.art Toy & Painting exhibit wit the title "Ambootleg
In "Don't Let Your Fears Hold You", the character Alas-King sits atop a massive snake—his fear—firmly gripping a chain that binds it. Though the snake beneath him, symbolizing the weight and presence of fear, Alas-King remains in control. Inside him rests a cat, representing his friends—quiet, steady companionship that gives him inner strength. The painting captures the tension between fear and courage, reminding us that support and self-mastery can keep even our deepest fears in check.
