In 1908 he illustrated a controversial novel, The Moneylender by Joseph Edelstein, about Jewish moneylenders in Dublin. Sometime after that, probably before 1911, he emigrated to Sydney, Australia, where he illustrated fashion catalogues for the Sydney department store Mark Foy's from 1914 to 1916, and founded a commercial art studio, Phil Blake and Co., which designed ornately lettered books of photographs by the pioneering Australian photographer Harry Phillips, including The Cloud, an illustrated edition of the poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, published in Katoomba, New South Wales, in 1914. Phil Blake and Co., Commercial Artists, were advertised as based at 545-7 George Street, Sydney, in the Sydney Morning Herald the same year. His death certificate gives his address as 83 Market Street. He died on 18 July 1918, of an "aneurysm of aortic arch" and "haemorrhage from rupture into left lung", at Sydney Hospital. He was 49, single with no children. He was buried in Rookwood Cemetary, Sydney.
