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 512 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --Parting has no remedy. You remain silent until you speak, and then the space in your lungs is left empty. We win a victory over nothingness. Nobody cares. If we die in proportion of the words we toss around, then our resting ground is really meaningless. Just turn the lights off before you leave.-- Page read by SMARANDA LUNA here: http://goo.gl/hGDgys. www.HavishamHour.com ©2014 Julio Panisello. The Havisham Hour will end in 1 day.
8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 511 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --Everything is nothing. No one sees majesty and charm in you and me once the freshness of our bodily youth wilts. People only see indescribable sadness. We become invisible and useless.

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 510 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --Too much self-contemplation will make you not forget anything in your life. Never mind fretting about the mirrors. You have to be truly perverse to understand goodness, and looking endlessly into your own centrifugal self will get you there, quickly. However, I doubt you'll ever be eloquent enough to understand the opposite point. We get stuck on perverse.-- Page read by FARRAH KARAPETIAN here: http://goo.gl/hFrUF2. www.HavishamHour.com ©2014 Julio Panisello. The Havisham Hour will end in 3 days.
8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 508 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --We're not advanced, we're just better at decorating using myths and symbols. Doubts are not more explicable now, facts aren't less disconcerting. We've always known everything, our ancestors have always known everything, yet we make the same mistakes they made. We march to our tombstones with our bodily eyes looking nowhere, a little more gray, a little more complacent.-- www.HavishamHour.com ©2014 Julio Panisello. The Havisham Hour will end in 4 days.
8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 508 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --Am I an inept artist? No, just dishonest and predictable. There is no secret formula to be an artist, you just have to do a good job at it and share it in the end, that's all. There are no shortcuts. Charlatanism + ecstasy=lazy art, right?-- Page read by NICHOLAS FENNESSY here: http://goo.gl/xh0WVd. www.HavishamHour.com ©2014 Julio Panisello. The Havisham Hour will end in 5 days.

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 505 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --How smart are you and I? Under duress, we become too obsessed with survival issues, neglecting creativity and love. If we stop analyzing, pondering, figuring out, measuring and weighting every issue we will become smarter. I know, you don't believe me, do you?-- Page read by SEAN RILEY here: http://goo.gl/V8UrOY. www.HavishamHour.com ©2014 Julio Panisello. The Havisham Hour will end in 8 days.
8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 504 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --"It" is that place where things are divided between Blue and Green. When you return to "it", your heart softens. You can eat pizza there all day long. By the way, any pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself. But you heart is hard, you never try anything, and you don't believe in yourself: you will never return.-- Page read by AARON KUNIN here: http://goo.gl/h56Ilo. www.HavishamHour.com ©2014 Julio Panisello.

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 501 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --There are two kinds of people in this life: people to pee in the shower and people who eat in public while lying to others. Don't 'please' or 'thank you' them. Both have their souls in skin and bones. What else could be expected?

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 491 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --A few years ago we could die without exceeding the minimum of vulgarity that seems indecorously unavoidable right before passing. But today that tiny level of vulgarity before passing is not kept to a minimum anymore, it has become its own single reality. We die in the most vulgar, insipid, and trivial way.

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 485 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --I have never deserted you. The fact is that Death, the experience of nothingness, ultimately shows up under a ridiculous spotlight and takes you away. What does it really mean? I doubt my last words will be "I never complain".

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 483 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --Our melancholic solitude is profound, it is not sweet or sultry. It is aesthetic. It fills us with contemplative passivity, and that feels good. Light links all our propensities and passions together, and numbs them. The wretched ones among us cannot perceive that kind of beauty.-- www.HavishamHour.com ©2014 Julio Panisello. The last Havisham Hour will be in 30 days.
8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 482 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --Thinking is not action on its own. Thinking about thinking doesn't lead anywhere.

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 481 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --We're infatuated with Beginnings and Eternity and forget that everything ends.

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 480 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --We were collectors, now we're hoarders.

8:40 AM: The Havisham Hour. Day/Page/Sketch 478 of 513 from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. --The cloak of envy looks corrosive, humiliating, damaging. It seems to confirm our own failure. But underneath it hides a redemptive purpose: the opportunity to know what we want to achieve and how we want to achieve it. Don't let it throw into despair, deny it or let it make you angry.

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.

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.
