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:

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.

Chuck Jones - Bear for Punishment

Kevin Langley`s blog is always a good resource on classic cartoons.

This time I bring his post about the Chuck Jones' classic Bear For Punishment. I never stop laughing when Junior tries to please his "Pa". =)

A cool thing I remember seeing in Chuck Jones DVD biography, Extremes and In-Betweens: A life in animation, is that Jones took inspiration on his own life to come up with the "breakfast in bed" gag.

The image which illustrates this post is from a background created for this cartoon made by the fantastic (and, unfortunately, not much known) Philip DeGuard. I tried so many times to find things about this great artist on the internet, but never found much more than his IMDB profile. =P
