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.
I have just realized that I'm looking forward to a lot of movies. One of them is The Illusionist, directed by Sylvain Chomet (Les Triplettes of Belleville). This movie had a first footage screening on this Cannes Festival. The realease (France and UK) will be in 2009. I read about it on Cartoon Brew, which also brought an interesting part of a 2004 article written by the director, telling about some of his moments when working at Disney.

The Illusionist
Yeah... Let's see what he can bring us next. The Triplettes is an amusing animated piece.
Thanks for sharing.
