Reynolds attended Hobart Technical College (now known as TasTAFE) in 1909–12, 1914, and 1918, and he exhibited with the Art Society of Tasmania from 1918–19. He has been variously credited as Len Reynolds, Leonard Reynolds, Leonard F. Reynolds, and L. F. Reynolds. He is well known for his caricatures, including illustrations of Australian General Sir Thomas Blamey; Australian rules footballers Syd and Gordon Coventry; journalist, publicist and playwright Campbell Dixon; and various politicians, including Herbert Pratten.[1]

He died at the age of 42 in Beaumaris, Victoria, Australia, when his car went off a cliff. Due to Reynolds' early death, all of his works are public domain.[2]
