Momentum – Illustration Friday
MC Hammer | Digital
Given the word momentum, the first thing that crossed my mind was ‘Gaining Momentum’, a song by MC Hammer. It was a hit back in the early 90’s. I’ve associated the word ‘momentum’ with Hammer not only because the word is the title of his song, it’s also because he dance fast! I couldn’t keep up with his momentum back then!
The above illustration was done using Adobe Illustrator, 2 hours work.
While searching for his whereabout, I found his blog: Look Look Look. Go check it out!
And oh, I did own a pair of those ‘Hammer’ pants! White color!

Hi Laurel! Thanks. I’m too lazy to draw using watercolor, been using them this whole week so I thought I do vectors.

😎 MC Hammer used to live in my town when I was in high school. I never did see him though. Love the design work of this, very different from your normal posts.

Hi Emila,
There’s no way you wore those pants 😯 ??? Alamak, come to think of it, I used to admire them … back in those days lah. I would seriously jump from KLCC if they made me wear it all over again 😆
