@oteil_burbridge tour is kicking off and I drew this very groovy poster for the May run. Inspired by beauty, nature, and that tapestry you had in college. Extremely jealous of all who get to check out this run of shows, the lineup of musicians is so solid. Hoping to catch the CT stop (babysitter pending). Thanks for looking!
Very excited to announce my upcoming museum show with Helen Kennedy, aka @zazzcorp , at the @mattatuck_museum in Waterbury, CT. In addition to showcasing our gigposter works the museum will be hosting a series of events beginning with a “backstage” concert pre show opening on June 11th featuring Mystic Dead, hope you can join us! #ajmasthay #masthaystudios #zazzcorp #mattatuckmuseum #gigposter
So happy to share the first poster of the year for the amazing @puscifer . You might or might not be aware of my love for Connecticut and am always stoked for a hometown poster. I’m using hometown very loosely here (CT is a very small state). Anyway initial concept was Stepford Wives meets Normal Isn’t (Puscifers new album) for a little b1tchy kitsch. If I ever start a band it’s def going to be called B1tchy Kitsch. Ap drop is in the near future, best way to find out is via my mailing list over at Zazzcorp.com. Thanks to the sorcerer @morganmiller for having me, and @endhymns for knocking the printing out of the park. Last slide was my thumbnail sketches on a grocery list, where I do some of my best thinking. Ciao for now.

Rough sketch > Color sketch > Final art . Some behind the scenes of how the final art came to be for @davematthewsband last year. Drawn by a human on a iPad and Wacom tablet. There is a some pencil thumbnails on a grocery list somewhere as well. Grocery lists are the best place for ideas, it much less pressure than a blank sheet of paper.

Helen Kennedy, known as Zazz Corp, is a Connecticut-based illustrator and gig poster artist recognized for her work with Pearl Jam, Billy Strings, Dead & Company, and other major touring acts rooted in modern psychedelic and hand-drawn aesthetics.
This episode explores her path from teaching art and parking-lot merch to full-time poster work, the role of failure in developing a personal visual language, and why imperfection and process still matter. Helen discusses recent Pearl Jam posters, the Grateful Dead’s lasting influence on poster culture.

Love you Bobby. Some of my fondest memories revolve around the Grateful Dead. Hopping from show to show packed in a car with close friends with a new adventure on the horizon, with no real plan except the next show. Probably as close as I will get to feeling like a cowboy. Thank you for opening my world to magic, and the beauty of music. Forever grateful ❤️⚡️💙
Last one for 2025, and she’s a beauty. Incredibly grateful to the @widespreadpanic team for letting me create some art for this New Years run. Years ago on dead lot I asked @nothinshakinco to recommend me a good show to get inspired for my firstWSP poster. He recommended the Ladies Night. When asked to make this NYE poster I kept the motif going. Thanks again to Eric and the team and @brokenpress for beautiful print job. Hope everyone has a safe and happy NYE run, and can’t wait to rock it in 2026. APs will be either Friday or next week, email subscribers get the first heads up.

A very chill new one for @biggigantic and their Bring The Funk Back winter run. Kept it frosty pow pow with this one. Jealous of those who get to attend these killer shows❤️⚡️💙
I busted open the ole flat file and did some much needed organization, which calls for a celebration in the form of an archive sale! It will be this Friday 11/14 at 1 P.M. eastern over on zazznet.com. We got oldies, newbies, baddies, and goodies and tons of everything else in between. So come and search for the perfect print this Friday. Thanks for looking 👽
Latest for @goosetheband and the their show last weekend in Alpharetta. When I saw down to conceptualize this print and draw it out I was a month away from giving birth. Cosmic beauty was the mantra and I was feeling it. Thanks as always to @morganmiller for letting me run with fun ideas and @endhymns for the lovely print job. Prints have already dropped there are a few left over at zazznet.com.

So incredibly honored to make the poster for this years @theohanafest . Such a great lineup, really wish I was on the opposite coast to attend this. The creative brief @ianwilliamsart and @mrtsurt sent over was such a vibe and I just had a blast making this one. Psychedelic suns almost make my day. I will have my artist variant which is shown available next week. As always best way to find out when is via my mailing list over at Zazzcorp.com thanks for looking.

Latest for the @offspring and their recent show in Salt Lake City. Americana was one of the first cds I owned and I would blast it on the bus ride to school in my discman. Do I sound old yet. Frank Kozik did the iconic album artwork and was an early inspiration in my art journey. I wanted to include some the art it in the poster to honor him. Anyway I’m waiting on my copies of APs hopefully I should have them soon. I will send an email out to subscribers once I receive them. Thanks for looking.
