Jardine was a talented illustrator from an early age; at just 17 years old, he began drawing for the Australian Star newspaper. He moved to New York City in the early 1920s and provided illustrations for Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping and other publications. He returned to Australia in 1928 and opened up his own studio, from where he did advertising campaigns for many Australian companies like Toohey's Lager, Stamina Clothes, Akubra Hats, and Qantas. "Unusually for the period, his artistic reputation rested solely upon his commercial designs" (Monash p. 27).
