Eaton is one of the pioneering artists in the field of digital sculpture and his work combines a deep understanding of human anatomy and traditional sculpture techniques with the power of modern digital tools. Eaton worked for many years as an animator - his clients include Pixar, Disney, Sony, Microsoft, Warner Bros. In recent years he has focused on creative technology, anatomy, and art, collaborating on project with artists and institutions[6][7][8][9] including Jeff Koons,[10] Mark Wallinger, Elton John, the Royal Academy, the BBC,[11] and the London Science Museum.[12]
