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.

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:

Mary and Lee Blair

In the latest edition of Flip online magazine, Fred Cline has written an article about his friendship with Mary and Lee Blair.

It's an interesting vision about the life of that great artists, who were already retired when Cline first met them. Both Blairs worked for Disney studios, and Mary was included on the "Disney Legends" list for her astounding concept design work. 

For those interested in learning more about Mary's work,  there's an very interesting book about her written by John CanemakerThe Art and Flair of Mary Blair.
