Ely ‘El Gomoriso’ Porter is a self-taught artist primarily focusing on dark, surreal and psychedelic illustrations in pen and ink. Heavily influenced by music, philosophy, psychedelic culture, geometry and esoteric languages and symbols (both sacred and profane); his signature is always done in the runes of J.R.R. Tolkien.
He was born in 1981 in Manitoba, Canada, and has been drawing since he could hold a pencil. Ely has settled in Wardsboro, Vermont with his partner and their two children. He has done album artwork, poetry illustrations, craft brew labels, private commissions, playing cards and murals.
Ely’s work can be found in local art shows, private collections around the world and online at ElyPorterArt.com
