Dave Warren!

Dave Warren.png

Somewhere between a hug and a middle finger lives Dave Warren (aka El Arto).


A Simpsons veteran who helped shape Springfield’s golden age (including the movie and the merch you still hoard), a Pinky and the Brain conspirator, and an artist lucky enough to ride shotgun on Sons of Anarchy’s legendary run. For decades, his work has thrived where pop culture and attitude collide—much like your favorite cartoon character giving you a noogie before buying you a beer.


Now he’s crashing Halloween X-SPO, armed with markers, questionable life advice, and stories from the trenches of animation, comics, and TV. Want a sketch? A behind-the-scenes war story? Proof that art from the heart doesn’t have to play nice? You’re in the right place.

I took a college course for graphic design thinking I could get the skills I needed to make shirts and then drop-out and make my millions. Turns out I really enjoyed graphic design and made a better career choice and stuck with it. I don’t know if I’ve gotten better with age but I can tell you I’m a lot saltier. F**k yeah."

Lora finds inspiration for her writing in her children’s retellings of their dreams, on road trips through Montana, and most recently in an abandoned abattoir and at the Anaconda Smoke Stack. As a young reader, she raised herself on classic fairy tales, John Bellairs, Ray Bradbury, and Stephen King (she read Cujo when she was eight and was simultaneously terrified and hooked).

Today, she still prefers a rainy day and a scary book to nearly anything else. In her free time, you can generally find her reading a book—mostly horror but anything a little weird and unsettling will do. Lora credits her love of words to her parents and to the public library that was walking distance from her childhood home. Lora is a member of the Horror Writers Association.
