Streetwear Bear is spinning tonight so come out and enjoy some great music.

This Illustration of Lapu Lapu, the first Philippine hero, is one of the most popular illustrations by Francisco Coching. A prolific Filipino Illustrator and artist. Coching wrote and drew a Lapu Lapu komiks novel in 1955 that was later made into a movie.

Our illustration by our designer Adam Jackson, pays tribute to Coching’s famous piece while putting our own IM KING spin on things. It shows Manny as Lapu Lapu taking on a nameless boxer which represents his struggle to keep his title as the best pound for pound fighter in the world.

The rough draft of the first sketch.

The text part of the original where they wanted things placed.

Something still doesn't look quite right.

Perfect!

 The IM king “Pound4Pound” design is an inspiration based off Chief Datu     
 Lapu-Lapu, who back in the 16th Century fought back against Spanish  
 Conquistador, Ferdinand Magellan, and successfully defended his  
 village and fellow Filipinos. Pacquiao actually portrayed the  
 legendary country hero in an annual re-enactment held in  Cebu City,  
 Philippines, as he is the perfect modern day example of Lapu-Lapu as  
 a national hero. It is Pacquiao's Filipino Fighting spirit and an  
 inspiration to the people to make it out of adversity and never let  
 anything stop your dreams .  It didn't take long for the design  
 concept to materialize between IMKing's Creative Designer, Brian  
 Tampol, and Mass Hysteria Werx's CEO, Brian Ortencio, who are both of Filipino backgrounds.
