I’m excited to be back in Brooklyn this weekend! @kellianderson is organizing what promises to be a delightful holiday art book fair, and I’ll be selling all issues of my algorithmic art zine, Plus Equals, and giving away stickers and postcards. Come say hello and get some gifts for people you want to impress and/or befuddle. ✨
Dec 3–4 (Sat and Sun), 1–5pm

I’ve got a table at @phillyzinefest from 12–5 today. Come by and say hello!
Happy Halloween! Here’s a quick post about how the design came together for Robtober 2022, my annual horror movie binge. v6.robweychert.com/blog/2022/10/r…

Melt-Banana
That rare four-band bill where everyone’s great. And as always, it is impossible to overstate how thoroughly @melt_banana rules.
Everyone please continue making colorful geometric confections and I will continue admiring them. thisiscolossal.com/2022/10/dinara…
Has VR tech or UX meaningfully evolved at all in its long lifetime? Still looks like this to me.
Here’s a fun game for a Friday: Try to identify the eight horror movie posters that the ransom letters on the Robtober 2022 title screen came from. (I’m looking in @iamrumz’s and @NickSherman’s direction, but all are welcome to play.) twitter.com/robweychert/st…

I’ve been waiting a long time for this night, and it did not disappoint!
good news everyone
Plus Equals #6 shipping to subscribers today!
Or if you prefer your scribbles all in front of you at once, there is a poster: shop.robweychert.com/products/plus-…
If you’re into the idea of paging through hundreds of systematically generated scribbles, Plus Equals #6 is just what the doctor ordered: shop.robweychert.com/products/plus-…
Also included: a crash course in the (relatively uncomplicated!) mechanics of Bézier curves, and some topical handwringing on the subject of AI art.
For this issue, I wanted to see if a series of loose, seemingly spontaneous images could be produced via a rigid system. Spoiler: They can, and I’ve algorithmically generated 562 unique scribbles to prove it.
The sixth issue of Plus Equals, my algorithmic art zine, is out now! plusequals.art/06/
No biggie, just hangin’ with Hot Mess, your 2022 @usairguitar champion!

Mötley Crüe & Def Leppard
I may be living in a backsliding democracy, but at least I finally got to see the mighty Def Leppard!

Another one checked off the bucket list!

Cavalera
That night my two favorite former Sepultura dudes played all my favorite Sepultura songs.
Did you know I make a zine about algorithmic art called Plus Equals? You don’t have to be a computer nerd to enjoy it. You can read it for free online and help support it by buying the print edition and other merch. Check it out!
Amyl and The Sniffers
Some stray notes:
- Upchuck’s frontwoman is a powerful performer, but part of her schtick is taking swigs of water or beer and spraying them from her mouth onto the audience. Punk rock abandon or not, I’m astonished anyone doesn’t understand how the events of the past two years have made that kind of behavior 1,000 percent unacceptable.
- Not to say any of their songs are bad, but Amyl and the Sniffers’ set list made me… See more →

First gig poster I’ve designed in ages, for tonight’s @HTRK_ show at @PhilaMOCA!
For this issue, inspired by Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, and Battle Chess, I designed a chess set and merged its pieces 57 different ways.

This feels like a genuinely fresh take on Swiss modernism, and I’m here for it. creativeboom.com/inspiration/ne…
Low
Not in the upper echelon of the many Low shows I’ve been to, mainly because I’m somewhat underwhelmed by the new record, Hey What, which I think they played in its entirety. And the rest of the setlist was a bit too familiar, made up mostly of songs they play at pretty much every show these days. Some are classics I’m always game to hear (“Sunflower”) and others not as much (“Monkey,” “Plastic Cup,” “No… See more →
ooohh DO TELL
One of the more satisfying pieces of merch to come out of something I designed (in this case, new branding and website for @philamoca).
Say hello to Maude! We brought her home this afternoon and so far she’s settling in like a champ. 😍
Looks like it resets the streak after 50 💅🏻
Rough day in the neighborhood.
This time around, I decided to overthink isometric projection.
Baroness
No one can say Baroness aren’t professionals. After two years away from the road, an all-request tour where everything in their roughly 80-song catalog is on the table? Impressive. Ticketholders for each show were able to vote for which songs they wanted to hear, but I unfortunately missed the link in the ticket confirmation email, so I was at the mercy of my fellow audience members, who apparently prefer newer material than I do. The… See more →
Human Impact
Before the pandemic took hold and when I still lived in Brooklyn, I had been planning to check out Human Impact’s first-ever show at Saint Vitus in mid-March of last year. I’m lukewarm on the records they’ve put out since, so I wasn’t going to bother with this tour, especially since their tour mates Child Bite (who I’ve previously seen and enjoyed) weren’t playing the Philly show, but my friend Matt invited me to come,… See more →

Greet Death
Well, this was a learning experience. My previous experiment in seeing a show in NYC and sleeping in my own bed that same night was pretty successful. This time? Not so much. I got to see Greet Death play exactly one song before I turned into a pumpkin. Luckily it was the song I most wanted to hear, “You’re Gonna Hate What You’ve Done,” whose title was also very appropriate for the moment.
As it… See more →
