In the 1920's and 1930's, he lived in New York City and attended The Art Students League where he was creative with a number of artistic styles of the period. During World War II, he worked as a cartoonist for a government issue newspaper paper called 10-SHUN that was published in Greensboro, North Carolina. Bernard worked under the penname Seeg, and was the author of the comic strip Hank and Honey, that appeared in the New York Herald Tribunefrom the 1940s through the 1950s.

He enjoyed painting bright abstract oil, gouache, watercolors, and his subjects ranged from pure abstractions and cubist figurative works, to people shopping and watching television as well as to urban and rural landscapes. He also was known to create abstract mixed media collages from strips of paper and magazine clippings. Segal taught art at Rutgers University - Camden, New Jersey.
