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 Inter-Actions Research Unit. 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.
I saw a few days ago at Cartoon Brew the teaser trailer for a Brazilian stop motion feature filme called Worms. I was really surprised to see a a movie of that quality being produced in Brazil, and went to search a bit more on the studio behind it, called AnimaKing. I knew some of their works for TV, but I didn't know they were producing a feature lenght movie. My jaw dropped on the floor when I saw how big their facilities are:
Can't wait to watch their movie! :)
Wooooow! I'd be one of the happiest persons if only I could animate just a single shot and be there then soak in the sea water and bathe under the sun. Yay.. ^_^
