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:

I've written a book about Rigging and Animation in Blender for Packt Publishing. You can get the files here.

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.

2008-May-28: John K on Composition, backgrounds and hierarchy

I think one can never recommend enough to everyone stop by John Kricfalusi's blog. Maybe he is a little too radical sometimes, but there is no doubt he knows what he is talking about.

This time there is a post (long as usual) about scene composition, backgrounds and visual hierarchy.

----------

As a side note, I'll be at Universidade Salgado de Oliveira giving a lecture on Blender tonight. If you happen to be there, go there and say hi. =)

And it is totally confirmed the short Blender course on Friday at Free Software Forum. I'm glad to say that all positions were filled some days ago. =)
