website updates

Website updates! Changes!

gleix.net is changing!

Been awhile since I’ve gotten things in order around here. The website is showing its age - and while I initially had been looking into a fully new website which would mean archiving this one, for the time being I’ve decided on upkeep and big changes here given the existing structure (and headaches of a major migration).

I noted some changes in the last update blog post which included:

In addition I’ve been doing lots of general upkeep. Boring stuff like some SEO stuff and minor tweaks to individual pages across the board, but also some big stuff:

  • The Visual Art page is now filled with gifs of all sorts of work from the past decade, including a ton of never shown or private personal & client works.

  • I’ve fully redone the home page and optimized it for both desktop & mobile. Mobile is pretty straightforward, and desktop has a nifty lil’ spotlight feature.

  • A brand new resources page has been added to navigation, listing things like cool NYC spots & groups for all sorts of creative stuff, online educational resources, affiliates/collaborators, and some online communities to check out. Info needed, but links are all there!

  • Experimenting with putting a music player on the sidebar (desktop only) that will play a random album from Gleix or Broken Alias’ Bandcamp!

  • I never turned comments on for this blog! I think I’ll do that moving forward - though I don’t think I’ll go back through the full backlog. At least not right now.

  • Those who follow my work surely picked up on the fact that my old logo has essentially vanished across the board. Initially this was part of a rebranding, though now it’s just a bit of a full de-branding until I figure out what I wanna do. The old one was originally designed specifically for the Anxiety Dreams album and somehow turned into my logo for everything over time.

  • Tryin’ out a darker theme.

There are some major revamps I’d like to work on, and some updates I need to make to include new work from the past few years that never made it up here, including some larger jobs like my work for Keinemusik @ The Brooklyn Mirage and at Zamna Festival in Tulum among other things.

May have some other fun updates to come in the near future.

This website acts as a massive historical portfolio for a lot of my professional creative endeavors, which at this stage means it’s problematically vast and unfocused. This is something I’ll hopefully move toward tackling after some of the more general stuff is sorted out. Lots of slow tweaks and additions. Expect little things to break here and there while this place is under construction for the foreseeable future!
