Errol began his professional artistic life in 1968 after being honorably discharged from the US Navy. He immediately began painting his first series of abstract oil paintings and had his first show in 1969 at a gallery in Del Mar, California. He subsequently attended Grossmont College in El Cajon, CA from September, 1969 until May, 1973 studying art and philosophy. After finishing Grossmont, he joined up with a fellow artist creating centerpiece sand cast candles which they sold at county fairs and art shows. The candle factory was based in Palmdale, CA., about 55 miles north east of Los Angeles.

While attending one show in particular that was held every weekend at a restaurant's open field area in Clairmont, CA, east of Los Angeles, Errol met and subsequently apprenticed with a leather artist who he was always set up across from at the weekend show. Errol decided to quit the candle business and move into the craft of leather. He apprenticed for about six months.

Shortly thereafter, Errol moved north and eventually wound up in a small town called Ben Lomond, ten miles north of the city of Santa Cruz, CA in the Santa Cruz mountains.

At that point he was ready to open his own studio and subsequently found a market place to sell his work as a street artist in San Francisco. As San Francisco sales began to drop after the 1978 season, and after four years of successfully selling his leather artwork at the Embarcadero Plaza in San Francisco, he switched to selling his work around the San Francisco Bay metropolitan area at various art and wine festivals and art shows.

That continued up until 2011 when he finally retired from the show circuit. His worked has been sold in a plethora of art and craft shops around the bay area since the 70's. Currently his work can be found at two gift shops in the Santa Cruz Mountains both at The Henry Cowell State Redwoods Park gift shop and at the Roaring Camp Railroads General Store (an 1800's vintage railroad attraction, roaringcamp.com) as well as on Etsy.
