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.

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 475 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --Are you afraid to think of the future? Would you like to know how to dismiss it? I think you should quit being preoccupied with Astrology. Astrology always points at you in the face and tells you how physically and mentally tiny you are, and that you have no future. Just go outside and play with other humans.-- Visit www.HavishamHour.com to learn more about this project, listen to previous podcasts...

You think you're going to inherit someone's possessions, you know it for a fact. But people don't need you because they love you, they love you because they need you. Your disfigured reality is not accurate.

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 472 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --Self-contempt wrecks everything, turns people into ruins, causes decay. Unfortunately self-content is eternal, the more you try to diminish it the bigger it grows. It always comes back until it dies with you. It precedes your death actually, perhaps by only minutes, when it's too late to go back and live your entire life without fake, self-constructed hierarchies. -- Visit www.HavishamHour.com to l...

What matters are not places or moments, just how graceful you remain until time makes repugnance to people melt away. You must remember to keep great constancy in being affectionate though, otherwise your wet and decayed stockings will reveal that you were as average as every other drowned person lost in their watery graves.-- Visit www.HavishamHour.com to learn more a...

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 470 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --How can you distinguish between being under water and being above water? You can't if you're compulsively busy. You can't if you mitigate and desensitize the few spare moments where you find yourself with nothing to do and no one to talk to. You can't if you feel superior to others more often than not. You can't if you defense your crankiness. You can't if you think the world conspires against you....
