In 1908 he showed three cartoons from the Observer at the QAS, more the following two years, three again in 1911. He seems to have been the only person regularly showing cartoons in the black and white art section. ( Holger V. Lovf showed cartoons and 'local celebrities’ with the QAS in 1913-15.) Harrison also showed watercolours with the QAS. Later he studied painting with Max Meldrum in Melbourne, although, according to Moore, never became a Meldrumite.
