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:

Blender Animation Book

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-Sep-02: I'm back! :D
Im back! :D

Nothing here for quite a long time, huh? Oh my... =P

First there was my arm injury. Because of that, lots of work were put on hold and that line kept growing every day. When my arm got OK, I had to run to get most of those things done. Add to that a couple times I had to travel for work reasons and you have and idea of what kept me away from blogging.

Thanks for everyone who wrote kind comments during that time (I'm not talking about you, spammers) and kept visiting this humble website. :D

Some good news is that I am starting this week the Animation Personal Trainer program, with the great Keith Lango! Yay! Great expectations for this month! =)
