being notified by readers and the media, the magazine said it would update its website to read, "Drawing by Harry Bliss, after Jack Kirby". In 2010 a New Yorker cover by Bliss, Paint by Pixels, was compared to Norman Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post cover, The Connoisseur. Author Virginia Mecklenburg writes in Telling Stories: Norman Rockwell from the collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, "But for those who know The Connoisseur, Bliss's cover goes a step further. The painting they (a young couple) observe is not a Pollock at all, but a re-creation of Rockwell's Pollock..." Personal life As of 2016, Bliss lives in Cornish, New Hampshire. Awards Bliss, along with fellow artist Nora Krug, was a recipient of the 2014 Maurice Sendak Fellowship.
