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.
Do you remember Wacky Races? That isn't exactly breaking news, but it's so cool I couldn't resist talking about it here. At this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed they payed a homage to the famous Hanna-Barbera cartoon with a race with real life version of the cars and characters! :) Be sure to check out the official video of it and these pictures. Man, this is way too cool! Wish I saw them with my own eyes! Thanks Guilherme for the tip.
