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.
I saw a few days ago at Cartoon Brew the teaser trailer for a Brazilian stop motion feature filme called Worms. I was really surprised to see a a movie of that quality being produced in Brazil, and went to search a bit more on the studio behind it, called AnimaKing. I knew some of their works for TV, but I didn't know they were producing a feature lenght movie. My jaw dropped on the floor when I saw how big their facilities are:
Can't wait to watch their movie! :)
Wooooow! I'd be one of the happiest persons if only I could animate just a single shot and be there then soak in the sea water and bathe under the sun. Yay.. ^_^
