THE HAVISHAM HOUR - podcast cover

THE HAVISHAM HOUR

Each day I read a single page of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. After reading the page I use it as format to create artwork inspired by the words in it. I then scan the sketched page and publish it, along with a brief journal entry and the reading of the page, exactly at 8:40 AM each day, on my local time, the time in the novel when Miss Havisham receives a letter on her wedding day announcing her groom is not showing up. The project started January 7th, 2013 and it will end June 12th, 2014: 521 days, 521 pages, 521 sketches.

I'm trying to milk some thrifty tears from somewhere, but I'm afraid I'm just going to sap some enervating ludicrousness. Sometimes, instead of coercing a fruitless dialogue with yourself, it's better to make some tea and take care of something shallow. Yes, that's what I'm going to do.-- Visit www.HavishamHour.com to order fine prints, listen to previou...

We believe that admiring the ideal Beauty will bring us closer to happiness, and we completely forget that in the end Beauty takes us further and further away from salvation, compromising us and bringing us closer to our own downfall. Beauty turns you into a ghost.-- Page rea...
