About

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:

Old Blog

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.

Chuck Jones - Bear for Punishment

Kevin Langley`s blog is always a good resource on classic cartoons.

This time I bring his post about the Chuck Jones' classic Bear For Punishment. I never stop laughing when Junior tries to please his "Pa". =)

A cool thing I remember seeing in Chuck Jones DVD biography, Extremes and In-Betweens: A life in animation, is that Jones took inspiration on his own life to come up with the "breakfast in bed" gag.

The image which illustrates this post is from a background created for this cartoon made by the fantastic (and, unfortunately, not much known) Philip DeGuard. I tried so many times to find things about this great artist on the internet, but never found much more than his IMDB profile. =P
