His art was highly influenced by Aubrey Beardsley and many of his illustrations were in an erotic vein.Egan is remembered as the rare original British exponents of art déco. He was one of the most famous people of London's bohemian scene for nearly five decades. His career graph was phenomenal, beginning with The Sink of Solitude, the dazzling debut which was a satire on the banning of Radclyffe Hall's controversial novel The Well Of Loneliness (1928). That book marked the beginning of a prolific phase of around six years during which Egan created numerous illustrations and book covers for works of Aleister Crowley, Pierre Louÿs and Charles Baudelaire.

He also made illustrations for the monographs made by his wife Catherine Bower Alcock.In later life ha appeared as an actor in films.He died in London in 1984.".
