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 in the mid 90s
through the early oughts, most of
which were released under his now
defunct Hanging Dog Productions
small press imprint (including
collaborations with British outsider
artist/musician Sexton Ming).

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.

His career-spanning interview with
Hubert Selby, Jr. saw print in the
seventh issue of X-Ray Magazine.

Dockery 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 N ick
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 late 2012 or early
'13 release, J.T. Dockery's Despair,
and some other things too soon to
talk about, as well as, floating
adrift in the background
(unfinished, for now), The
Organ-Grinder .

Dockery currently hangs his hat in
White River Junction, Vermont.
