In 1917 he was the animator of the first Irish animated film, Ten Days' Leave, directed by Jack Warren, the editor of The Irish Limelight. He later moved to London, where he became a psychic artist, painting the "spirits" he perceived accompanying his sitters, and his paintings apparently sometimes bore a striking resemblance to deceased relatives and friends of the sitter, whom he had not met. He featured regularly in Psychic News over forty years.
