In 1995, Erica at age 7 knew that she wanted to be an artist that worked in media. She wanted to become a puppeteer, and around 1998 she wanted to learn about cartoon animation. The Erica Crooks Show started in 1999 as a home movie which similar idea ended up becoming the first episode of the second season in 2007 years later. Erica was always curious about how to make movies and television shows. Around this time, Erica heard about public access television. Unfortunately Erica was not old enough yet to have her own public access television show. So in the meantime, The Erica Crooks Show was performed as a puppet show for young adults at a local public library a few times a year from 1999 - 2004 / 2005. The puppet group act was originally called " The Erods " but the name would later not be used as much except sketches later like "Erod Army" or "American Erod". Basically "Erod" is a combining Erica and Rod ( puppet arm wire rods ) together. But by the age of 18 in 2006, Erica Crooks finally got her own public access television show however it was never filmed in the public access television studio but Erica filmed from home which was basically independent filmmaking. From 2006 - 2009 ,Erica Crooks’ first YouTube Channel was called “ MuppetPro ” . Many of the early episodes of The Erica Crooks Show was credited from " Eric Works Inc. " which later dropped to just giving credit to the show's creator " Erica Crooks ". Unfortunately Erica Crooks retired for a year due to being constantly attacked with narcissistic abuse from abusive authoritarian parents and ableist cyberbullies. ( Bullied !

Erica spend most of 2010 drawing comics in sketch books and even an animated short called “Fred’s Birthday“.
