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:

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.

Design.exe

I had to take a little break from the loads of work to give some attention to this blog, :)

Tomorrow I'll fly to Londrina, to give a lecture on Animation, 3D and Free Software at Design.exe. I'm very honored to be listed among such talented people, and I want to thank everyone at Unopar and specially Mango Jambo, from Oniria, for suggesting my name. I'll be very happy to finally meet him in person. :D

Another great Blender artist I met recently was Cícero Moraes, who came to Goiânia to give a great lecture at Flisol. :)

-----

And among the lots of things that have keeping me busy these days is my second Animation Personal Trainer session with the great animator/teacher Keith Lango. As soon as I finish it I'll post my results.

See you guys next post. ;)
