Favorite Artist of Oh Nine :: Miike Snow
ts fairly unanimous up here in the BDN cloud, Miike Snow was our favorite artist of 2009. While last years efforts by Phoenix, Florence and the Machine, Curren$y, Empire of the Sun, Passion Pit, Major Lazer, Little Boots, La Roux and DatA sit at the top of our list, Miike Snow takes the crown. Their self titled release is a masterful collection from start to finish and the many remixes it has...

ATL-reppin’, MC Donnis spent a lot of 2009 climbing the hip-hop ranks with live performance videos, profuse freestyles, and attention-getting tracks that leaked much to our delight. Having a mixtape with 10 Deep ain’t a bad thing either, just ask Kid Cudi and Wale.

Typography and Illustration by Jessica Hische
It’s hard to be a web designer and not become interested (if not somewhat obsessed) by other forms of art & design. Web design incorporates typography, photography, illustration, copy writing to name a few… so I am constantly looking for artists and inspiration of all disciplines.
One of my favorite artists is the young, Brooklyn-based Jessica Hische. She is super talented at...

To anyone who has not been to Windells in the last few years, or ever for that matter, there have been massive additions in the way of outdoor concrete skate features. The mad scientists are working all winter to lay as much...

RSS Creativity: Routines, Systems, Spontaneity
The 99% brings us a nice article on creativity, productivity and the art of getting shit done! A good read for anyone struggling to find their creative sweet spot.
Most stories about creativity are stories about the 1%. We hear about the moment of inspiration – Archimedes leaping from his bath, Coleridge hallucinating “Kubla Khan” in an opium reverie. We don’t hear so much about the years...
