Gerry Porter was a talented visual artist, designer, and humorist who made an indelible impact on the St. John’s arts scene.
He died in 2016, and on Sunday December 1st, a website of his work is being launched at The LSPU Hall, from 4 pm to 6 pm.
The website contains hundreds of Gerry’s cartoons, comics, posters, memes, and for his on-line followers, an archive of his twitter feed and news haikus.
