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:
ORCID LUCA School of Arts/KU Leuven LinkedIn YouTube
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.
Looking for some inspiration? Go look at Peter de Sève's website. He is kind of a one-man band: character designer of animated movies like Ice Age and Finding Nemo, responsible for illustrating the covers of The New Yorker for more than 10 years, and he also manages to be a TV commercials director. If you want to know more about him, there is a cool interview made with him in 2006.
