Next week you might receive two versions of this newsletter, one from tinyletter.com and one from skookworks.com. On Sunday I’m going to be moving tinyletter’s subscription list over to my website’s subscription service. You should get a notice that you’ve been subscribed to the Skookworks/DavidLeeIngersoll.com site. If you’re reading this now, please accept the invitation. If you haven’t been reading, well, you probably will stop receiving the newsletter.
Next Friday I’ll be sending out the newsletter from both platforms as a test. After that I’ll stick with a version from my website.

Amazon is either sending out less parcels or they’ve moved more of their deliveries to their own fleet because, on Tuesday and Wednesday I had no boxes from Amazon to load in my truck. I had some of their plastic envelopes but nothing larger than that. As a result I worked less than ten hours each day.
I needed the rest. I won’t mind if Amazon continues delivering their own stuff for a while. We’re still shorthanded and having less parcels to deliver makes it easier to manage both my own route and any route I have to carry off of.
Sketching in Search of …
As I’ve mentioned in previous newsletters, I’m between projects. I’ve still got a few images that I’m planning redesigning for my online stores but I haven’t started on them yet. I don’t currently have any commissions. I’m in the middle of the sixth version of the outline for that graphic novel that I’m not expecting to actually draw. (I’m enjoying the process of structuring and restructuring a story without worrying about how to make it a real thing. It’s kind of therapeutic.) After all the overtime I’ve been working I’m enjoying goofing off.
Sketching is both practice and goofing off and discovery. I’m often surprised by what my hands put on the paper. Here’s a recent batch.

Thank you for dropping by!
Have a great week! Spend some time with friends. Read a book. Take a nap. Ignore well meaning advice if it adds to your stress.
