Nebenher schuf er zahlreiche Bildnisse und Portraitplaketten von österreichischen Persönlichkeiten der k.u.k. Monarchie wie der Republik, aber auch von Päpsten. 1916 fertigte er auch die Totenmaske von Kaiser Franz Joseph an. Zudem entwarf er für die Firma Lobmeyr zahlreiche heute gesuchte Jugendstilgläser und -lampen und schuf Grabreliefe wie Monumentalplastiken. Seit 1904 leitete er als Professor die Meisterschule für Graveur- und Medailleurkunst an der Wiener Akademie für bildende Künste, 1938 wurde er vom NS-Regime des Dienstes enthoben und 1944 trat er in den Ruhestand.
