Sean Tejaratchi (born c. 1971) is a graphic designer and writer based out of Los Angeles, California. He is known for creating the clip art zine Crap Hound. He was also voted one of "The 25 Funniest People on Twitter" by Rolling Stone in 2012.

Two years out of high school and living in Eugene, Oregon, Tejaratchi designed his first posters in 1990 for a fictional rock band and posted them around Eugene. He was inspired by the many DIY posters for punk bands he saw posted around the cities of Eugene and Portland. His design got him hired to produce posters for the W.O.W. Hall, a performing arts venue in Eugene.

It was through his work for W.O.W. Hall that he was introduced to Mike King, a screen printer and poster designer who, at the time, also produced Snipehunt, a zine devoted to the music and comic art scenes of the Northwestern United States. Tejaratchi assisted with elements of the page layout, such as paste up and typesetting, but did not contribute any content to the zine.

Tejaratchi moved to Portland between the end of 1990 and the beginning of 1991. In 1994, Tejaratchi published his first edition of the graphic art zine Crap Hound. The 8½ x 11 inch zine featured pages of monochrome, high contrast line art and clip art images grouped into themes such as circuses, skeletons, hearts, hands and eyes. Tejaratchi mostly uses images taken from sources printed from the 1920s to the 1960s, such as vintage catalogs, rare books, medical textbooks, pornography and advertisements.
