About the artist:


Harry Bliss is a cartoonist and cover artist for the New Yorker magazine. Growing up in upstate New York amidst a family of successful painters and illustrators, Bliss went on to study painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, illustration at the University of The Arts (BFA) and Syracuse University (MA).


Prior to his cartoons and covers for the New Yorker magazine, Bliss illustrated dozens of book covers for writers such as Lawrence Block, Dorothy Uhnak, Bob Dole, and Fiona Buckley.
