My Dear Handel
Written and narrated by Salomey Doku
(Personal Project)
'From that time, and for many years hence, I always felt that I must be the luckiest, and happiest man alive’...
​
'My Dear Handel' is my take on Herbert Pocket's POV of the events of the novel 'Great Expectations' (1861) by Charles Dickens.

This story forms part of a personal side project. I wrote it as a way of studying close male friendships, and what they used to look like in Dickens' day.
Apart from being delightfully self-indulgent, it mainly serves both as research and as a companion story to a graphic novel I'm currently developing that looks at close male friendships today, and at the impact having a close bond with a friend can have on mental health for men.
Artwork for 'My Dear Handel' and for Great Expectations in general is currently a work-in-progress effort.
You can keep up with my character art, animations and sketches over on my social media channels!
Eventually I plan to upload all artwork I create for this side project here on my website.
