John Klamik (July 22, 1935 – January 5, 2005), better known by his pseudonyms Sean and Shawn, was an American artist specializing in gay male erotica and comics. His gay-themed cartoons were among the first to appear in US publications, including a regular feature in the early years of The Advocate. He worked under two pen names: Shawn for more mainstream gay publications such as In Touch, and Sean for fetish publications such as Drummer and Bound & Gagged.
