| J.T. DOCKERY (C)art(oon)ist for These End Times. |
Jesse Todd Dockery was born and raised in Gray Hawk, Kentucky, in the shadow of the
foothills of the Appalachian mountains. Dockery self-published countless zines and
over twenty collections of writings and artwork, most of which were released under his
now defunct Hanging Dog Productions small press imprint (including collaborations with
British outsider artist/musician Sexton Ming).
Exhibiting as a "fine artist," he was included in the Folk Art of the Twenty-First
Century show at the Kentucky Museum of Arts + Design and was selected as one of eight
international artists to be in the Stuckists Punk Victorian exhibition, published in
the catalog for the show at the National Museum's Walker Gallery in Liverpool, UK.
Dockery's work has been included in many group shows, in addition to several regional
one-man shows.
His career-spanning interview with Hubert Selby, Jr. saw print in the seventh issue of
X-Ray Magazine. Dockery also performed on what was to be the final album, Night Life,
by the late, great Hasil Adkins. He continues to perform in garage bands, most notably
the Smacks!. He released the graphic novel meets art book In Tongues Illustrated in
late 2008.
He is working with author Nick Tosches on the Spud Crazy graphic novel. A thirty page
excerpt of this work-in-progress was released 2/3/11 along with a soundtrack disc in a
limited edition published by Institute 193 to accompany an exhibition of the original
art; the book also features an introduction by Richard Hell and an essay by Bob Levin.
In collaboration with Brine Manley (of the Smacks! and other music/soundtrack
projects), he is recasting the Faust myth as a hillbilly yarn, Creekwater, which was
serialized in North of Center. He is also working on several other projects such as
adapting Stephen Crane's Black Riders and Other Lines into comic strips with
Wakefulness serving as an introductory meditation, an upcoming comic book series set
for a 2012 release, J.T. Dockery's Despair, as well as, floating adrift in the
background, The Organ-Grinder.
Dockery currently hangs his hat in White River Junction, Vermont.
