He financed the completion of his studies through his work as a package designer and billboard artist. His successful career as a freelance illustrator began when he was commissioned by some of the most prestigious American magazines (Life, Redbook, Town & Country, Forbes and Newsweek). He also designed posters for some of the country's largest companies including American Airlines, Winchester Rifles, Coca-Cola as well as for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. He also designed propaganda posters for the government's war effort (most memorably 'When you ride Alone you Ride with HItler!').
