Griffin spent most of his life living in the Eaglemont and Heidelberg area in Melbourne although he travelled around country Victoria to paint and draw.

A number of these prints are discoverable on the National Gallery of Australia database.Griffin trained at the National Gallery Art School in Melbourne from 1919 to 1923. A highly respected teacher, Griffin taught at art at Scotch College (1936–1937) and drawing and teaching at RMIT (1937–1940).He was appointed an official war artist in 1942. He was captured by the Japanese after the fall of Singapore and sent to Changi prison where he was incarcerated for over three years.
