About this poster
This black and white illustration titled "Morning Rituals" by AJ Masthay depicts a surreal bathroom scene that represents the duality between nightlife and professional responsibilities.
The central focus is a skull-like face reflected in a bathroom mirror, with distorted, swirling eyes that suggest the lingering effects of the previous night's experiences ("still a little 'electric'"). Next to this haunting reflection stands a more conventional human figure, possibly representing the person's professional identity or "disguise" mentioned in the artist's description.
The bathroom setting is meticulously detailed with tiled walls, a sink basin in the foreground, and bathroom fixtures. In the doorway or background, there appear to be some animal-like figures peeking in, adding to the dreamlike, distorted quality of the scene.
The intricate crosshatching and line work create a sense of tension and disorientation, effectively capturing the artist's personal experience of leading "dual lives" - balancing nightlife (likely concert-going based on the "Sunday show" reference) with professional responsibilities that required putting on a "shirt and tie" as a "disguise."
