Zanotto, who was born in northern Italy, has received numerous accolades for his work, including an Apple design award.
Surprisingly, he didn’t introduce his now trademark eyeballs into his animations until 2019 — a move he told the outlet It’s Nice That “worked out very well.”
“It’s a bit of a fun, personal take on the 3D realistic loop trends that you see on social media,” he added.
Digital art has observed somewhat of a golden era over the past few years, with outlets like TikTok providing a new platform for creators to showcase their work.
Dawid Duda, a young digital artist with 1.5 million followers on TikTok, uses the platform to share his fun, lighthearted and minorly weird animations.
The artist’s specialty is his cartoon mashups, where he combines unexpected characters to create brand new one that are as humorous as they are unsettling.
