The Art Gallery of Ontario says that the artist is someone named Ronn Rampis. The sig is also clearly visible there and that’s what it says.
It is also mentioned there that the dimensions are not 3/4 as indicated in the listing, but 7/8.
I submitted another image (from AGO), but does anyone know where the other pics came from? Whalaw is the one who submitted them, if he is still around.

Nevermind the question as I found the answer here: https://dwbcompany.com/special.html
On October 12, 1967, The Doors played one show at The Surf in Nantasket, MA. Mr. Burns was there, and obtained this original concert advertisement that night. Various professionals in the field of rock-and-roll memorabilia have told Mr. Burns that no other copies of this poster are known to exist. It has some lines Mr. Burns drew on the poster in 1967, but is otherwise in very good condition.
Pic from there:
And the pic from the AGO:
By looking at the sig now, I don’t see Rampis and I can’t find anything about the guy. I would think the gallery should know, but... if someone has something to add, please do.

One more thing. Worthpoint says that an uncut sheet sold on eBay at some point. I wonder when and for how much. I have been looking for this poster for a while and haven’t seen the listing (surely I don’t check every day, lol).
The artist's name is Ronn Campisi, not Rampis. Campisi was the bass player for the Rockin Ramrods, who were the house band for the Surf. They opened this show for the Doors, and did some major stalling because the Doors were having flight delays. The first show was never played, and they were late for the second. Campisi has confirmed being the artist.
