Jason Reichl Website

The illustrated home base for essays, projects, field notes, and dispatches.

Last updated: Nov 4
What it is

The illustrated personal site that carries essays, projects, field notes, and the public record of the work.

Why it exists

A home base should feel made by hand, not like another polished template trying to sell attention back to people.

Current state

Live on the Framer preview domain while the careful structure waits for the final jasonreichl.com domain move.

Recent signal

The homepage projects shelf now reads the Projects collection directly.

Project log

  • The projects shelf follows Framer

    What you can do now: the four homepage project cards update the moment a project changes in Framer.

  • The homepage follows the essays

    What you can do now: publish an essay with a cover and it becomes the homepage's lead story on its own, with its art on the card.

  • Share cards everywhere

    What you can do now: paste any page of this site into Slack, iMessage, LinkedIn or X and get a real picture instead of a bare link. Every essay has its own drawn card, and every other page inherits a letterpress one built from the site's own masthead.

  • Every field note is live

    What you can do now: browse every field note on the site, each with its own picture and share card. The last five drafts went live, including collages from old show videos.

  • Essays went native

    What you can do now: browse every essay on one /essays list, sort it newest or oldest, filter by theme, and read a new essay the day it's published.

  • Completed work joins the shelf

    What you can do now: see the jobs, band, show, game, and podcast behind the work, each with its own page, in a new Completed section.

  • Projects archive and project pages

    What you can do now: browse every project from a real archive board and open any one of them to its own page — what it is, why it exists, where it stands, and its public log.

  • Project logs added

    What you can do now: open a project from the homepage, click its latest-update tape, and land on a growing public project log.

  • Project archive became real

    What you can do now: browse internal project detail cards before leaving for an external project website.

  • Essays gained a real home

    What you can do now: browse the essays index and read the first longform essay inside the same illustrated site system.

  • Illustrated Framer redesign started

    What you can do now: see JasonReichl.com as a handmade publishing home for essays, project catch-ups, field notes, and dispatches.

Dispatches worth reading.

Essays, project updates, and ideas from the arena.
