Errol Fuller
Errol Fuller (born 19 June 1947) is an English writer and painter who lives in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. He was born in Blackpool, Lancashire, and grew up in South London, England and was educated at Addey and Stanhope School.[1] He is the author of a series of books on the subject of extinction and extinct creatures.
These books include Extinct Birds (Penguin Viking, 1987 and Oxford University Press, 2000 [2]); The Great Auk (Harry N. Abrams, 1999);[3][4][5][6] The Lost Birds of Paradise (Swann Hill Press, 1995);[7] Dodo – From Extinction to Icon (HarperCollins, 2002); and, in conjunction with the New Zealand artist Raymond Ching, Kiwis (Seto Publishing Auckland).
He has also produced, in both English and Arabic, a catalogue for The National Council for Culture, Arts and Heritage, Qatar, to complement an exhibition held in Doha during 2004, titled Lost Worlds.[8]
Recently, he has departed from the natural history theme and written a large-scale monograph on the little known artist and etcher of architectural subjects, Hedley Fitton.
His own paintings are sometimes – although certainly not exclusively – of sporting subjects, and often feature boxing, snooker and other slightly disreputable sports.
