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 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:

2008-Feb-12: Drawing!!!
Drawing!!!

Today I get back at taking life drawing classes. =)

After finishing college I barely drew with pencil and paper again. Almost everything I did involved a mouse and/or a tablet.

Far from being happy with that, I've decided to get life drawing classes again. After all, doesn't matter the medium I chose for animating, better drawings will sure help improve my results.

Of course that the image which illustrate this post is not mine. It's from some guy you may have heard of... ;)
