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:

2007-Aug-20: Maurice Noble book on pre-order

Today I saw this post on Cartoon Brew telling about a 1991 interview with the master Maurice Noble and the news that Amazon has in pre-order a book about the life and works of this amazing artist. I want one!

I truly love his layout and background work, mostly his masterpieces done with Chuck Jones' crew in the 50's and 60's, like What's Opera, Doc and Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century.

Surprisingly, Noble's work wasn't that admired on his time, like Amid Amidi tells on this Cartoon Modern post .

In addition to that interview, there's this one, made with him in 1998.
