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.
Iuri Araujo sent me this link to a petition for the release of a Portuguese version of Richard Williams The Animators Survival Kit. I have this book, and I can say it is really fantastic. It will be great for the Brazilian animation students (and other Portuguese speakers too) if that great resource gets released in our native language. If you support this cause, go there and sign it. =)

The Animators Survival Kit in Portuguese
Vi muita gente no orkut criticando essa iniciativa, pela justificativa de que é necessário saber o idioma inglês para trabalhar com 3D. Acho essa iniciativa totalmente válida. Se o livro sobre blender(que é tão marginalizado por profissionais) do Alan Brito vende, o que dirá com essa obra que é essencial para qualquer animador ?
