Bobby Jack Pack Jr. was born in 1957 in North Richland Hills, Texas, a shy, well behaved, curious child. Predominately surrounded by nature, he began studying animals and anything associated with the outdoors. His early depictions were drawings of animals, landscapes, and cartoons. His family noticed his special talent and he was encouraged to follow this path.
Intrigued by how things worked, he began taking apart appliances in the home and putting them back together.
When his family moved to Azle, Texas in 1967, Bobby was faced with a world of new changes. For a shy boy it was difficult to start a new school and make new friends. During this time he immersed himself in art. Hours of his day were spent drawing and painting.
When his father opened his auto repair business in 1969, Bobby was a constant fixture at the shop. Helping his Dad and learning the mechanics of automobiles, he found a new love, cars. He spent most of his teen years rebuilding engines and transmissions, and creating hot rods.
In the late 1970's Bobby picked up his first camera and released a world of new ideas. 35mm film and darkroom processing was soon his new desire, followed by stop motion animation and 16mm short films. In 1981 Bobby got his first job as a photographer at Billy Bob's Texas. He met and photographed dozens of famous musicians and actors. In the late 1980's Bobby found himself in Deep Ellum, Dallas, Texas and quickly became a well known and trusted photographer in the local music scene. Documenting Deep Ellum and it's musicians, everyone wanted their photograph taken by Bobby. He also worked for the Dallas Observer and as house photographer for Reunion Arena.
In the early 1990's through the mid 2000's, Bobby spent his time writing, directing, editing, and producing his self titled cable access comedy show. The Bobby Jack Pack Show Comedy Show surfaced as a cult favorite. Bobby produced 21 episodes, each running 30 minutes in length.
Yet again, his desire to follow the constant circulation of ideas and to challenge himself, he began filmmaking. The comedy show was retired and he started his first documentary film "Dealey Plaza". During this time he started filming his second documentary "The Compound". A true artist driven by the need to generate work, Bobby has stayed committed to his inclination to create.
