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.
Aren't those guys at Aardman really awesome? It amazes me how they make everything so strong, from the ideas to the final animation. =) The last one I knew about is their series of shorts with some environmental messages for Animal Planet. They are so cool that we can even download them in Quicktime format!

Aardman - The Animals Save the Planet
Muito obrigado Virgílio! Eu gosto Aardman. Have done ever since I saw a clip of the Lion in the original "Creature Comforts". :)
