I'm an Animation Professor at LUCA School of Arts, campus C-mine in Genk, Belgium. I teach at the Re:Anima Joint Master in Animation and I'm a senior researcher at the Inter-Actions Research Unit. My research interests include philosophy of Technics, power relations inscribed in and reinforced by technical objects, and decolonial perspectives in animation. Previously, I was an Animation Professor at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), in Brazil. MFA and PhD by the Graduate Program in Arts at EBA/UFMG. I'm also a free software advocate, animator, rigger and I also like to code. You can see some of my works and know a bit more about me at:

I've written a book about Rigging and Animation in Blender for Packt Publishing. You can get the files here.
Yes, I had a blog. Haven't updated it since 2011. Anyway, if you need something from there I have kept backwards compatibility and you can read it below.
Saw on Spline Doctors a cool reference to another blog: AWN Oscar Travelog, where Rick DeMott (AWN editor) travels along with the Oscar animated shorts nominees to chronicle their journey to the big night. From the blog: "Read what the nominees feel about chatting with John Lasseter or having lunch with Jeffery Katzenberg or just how cool it was to stay at Skywalker Ranch!"
