Harry Bliss, a one-of-a-kind artist from New York, came to talk to the Innovation Academy today. He caused inspiration throughout the classroom with his incredible and unique artwork. Mr. Bliss was the youngest to a family of artists. He was a waiter roughly seven years. Although his story to the top began as a waiter, he practiced, created, submitted, failed, and succeeded in making his artwork become the cover of The New Yorker. Not letting failure stop him, but instead help him in the process. "Accept Failure as part of the process and you will succeed." ~Unknown From then on he kept at it. Submitting up to 50 pieces of artwork and ending up with one getting chosen. Branching away from his spectacular covers for the New Yorker, he helped authors with their book covers. He then went on to make his own children books, such as Bailey. A lesson taught by Mr. Bliss: "Although it is very important for others to admire your work, you first need to admire your own work if not how are others supposed to?" Harry Bliss touched on this specific topic. Explaining that he first makes sure that the humor in the cartoons are appealing to him and then to others. Emphasizing, if you don't even find your own work funny how are others going to? Be proud of your work and show it off, don't just expect others to enjoy it when you don't. I do have to end with the fact that the humor Mr. Bliss puts into his cartoons is remarkable, astonishing, and unique. Check out the rest of his creation at: http://harrybliss.com/
Comment from the author (you can comment as well:) I believe that his career is an ultimate duo career. How come? Well because it is both his job and passion. I believe that one of the key concepts of finding happiness is through doing what you love and are truly passionate about. That gave me a great inspiration into fighting for what I love and to never give up on my dreams.
