As a freelance artist, he contributed illustrations to various books, such as Danmarks Fugle, Jægeren i Naturen, and Danmarks Sangfugle. He also designed the front cover for the journal of the Danish Ornithological Society and worked on several Danish banknotes.

In 1926, he published The Origin of Birds, an English book that expanded upon his earlier Danish papers. His research included artistic depictions of Archaeopteryx and Proavis. In 1940, he published Univers og traditionen, a book regarding Darwinism and arguments against religious ideas.
