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 Genk Research Unit, in the 'Critical reflections of and through animation' cluster. 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.
Got today on my mailbox the monthly newsletter from the guys at Animation Mentor. Beside some cool things like the funny interview with brazilian Bruno Monteiro, there's a very interesting article on networking in animation. I believe I don't need to be verbose to explain the importance of it, nor that I have much to add to an article written by someone with 25 years on the animation field, So I just recommend this reading to everyone. :)

I got that too, but I still have yet to sit down and look through it...
