Jaik Puppyteeth (also known as Jaik Olson)[1] is a Canadian artist[2][3] and also writes for Vice magazine.[4][5]
Puppyteeth released his graphic novel Pop about a grumpy clown on Friday the 13th in April 2018 along with a live art show and discussion at Portland State University.[6]
He is also known for his portraits of drag queens.[6]
CBC Arts wrote "Puppyteeth — whose moniker is derived from the artist's early fixation on drawing people who have really large gums and jagged, tiny teeth — says he's ultimately most proud of the fact that he has been able to support himself through his art, and that it has resonated with so many people."[7] Puppyteeth added "Young queers often reach out to ask questions and advice, and I am always happy to be there for them."[7]
