Zach Willard is a multimedia artist from Omaha, Nebraska, USA.
Zach received their Bachelor’s in Fine Art from the Creative Center in 2012 focusing on graphic design, and was awarded both AIGA and Addy awards for work completed during their education. During that time they also developed a fondness for creating art within the animated .gif format and utilizing various forms of glitch art. Since 2010 they have created thousands of art gifs and many animated and static glitch-based works.
In addition to digital works, Zach also creates art in the form of mixed media works on canvas, printed clothing, art books, lenticular prints, and art toys. The majority of their work is focused on experimenting with distortion-based methods of creation and the use of vibrant colors as they are red-green colorblind (Deuteranopia).
Their artist motto is
“Absurdity will sustain us and bad art will save us all.”
