Image depicts vertically oriented promotional graphic combining QR code blocks, contact information, and descriptive text. Four QR codes are arranged symmetrically in the upper half of composition, occupying left and right corners. Centered between codes is crossed-bread emblem, functioning as minimal iconographic logo. Below logo, contact handle “@alexboya_” and email address “info@alexboya.com
” are provided in serif typeface.

Lower portion consists of block text in justified alignment, outlining conceptual framework for TheMill.World. Content identifies the project as an “innovative creative platform” integrating graphic novel, animation series, and community-based art collaboration. Emphasis is placed on large-scale participation, citing involvement of more than 100 guest artists. Narrative premise situates Chapter 1 in near-future city, where “reverse-zombie pandemic” emerges from agrochemical corporation’s synthetic bread, transforming individuals into animate bread entities. Unlike traditional zombie figures, these bread beings are nonviolent but relentlessly pursued by living humans experiencing hunger intensified by climate-induced food scarcity.

Text further describes the work as immersive social experiment structured in three phases, emphasizing transmedia approach spanning speculative storytelling, science-fiction world-building, and audience engagement across multiple platforms. Typography is consistent throughout, presented in black serif font against white background for clarity and legibility.

The design merges utilitarian QR technology with narrative description, functioning as both scannable entry point and self-contained informational artifact. The integration of iconography, contact metadata, and descriptive storytelling encapsulates promotional and conceptual aims of the project.
This sheet contains a dense set of handwritten development notes combined with a colored architectural illustration, forming part of a hybrid design process for a speculative world or narrative environment. The notes, written in a compact and energetic style, appear to outline a structured sequence of ideas connected to storytelling, visual motifs, and production planning. While partially difficult to read due to handwriting speed, several thematic points emerge: references to television logic, bread motifs, transitional flows, and architectural anchors. These observations suggest connections to the Walking Bread narrative and its symbolic layering of food, built structures, and cultural memory.

The right side of the page is dominated by a detailed drawing of a miniature architectural-scape rendered with painterly textures. This environment includes:

A tall modern tower integrated into rocky terrain, suggesting urbanity fused with geological forms.

A cluster of supporting buildings with varied architectural styles, possibly signifying shifts between industrial, civic, and domestic spaces.

A windmill prominently situated in the lower left corner, which bridges pastoral imagery with mechanical production.

A small red tractor pulling a trailer along a blue track, introducing motion and agricultural references into the otherwise static city-like complex.

Together, the written and visual components embody the iterative method of world-building, where text-based brainstorming is anchored by visual prototypes. The juxtaposition of natural elements (windmill, rocks) with built infrastructure (tower, road, machinery) reflects the ongoing tension between organic life, industrialization, and cultural storytelling.

This page can be seen as both a working document and an aesthetic artifact: a record of thought processes, a storyboard fragment, and a spatial exploration. It shows how layered conceptual writing directly feeds into architectural visualization, positioning the page itself as a node of Genomic Animation methodology—where human cognition, design sketching, and symbolic mapping converge.

Digitally manipulated anthropomorphic figure shown in frontal orientation with exaggerated cranial proportions dominating the composition. The head is oversized relative to the body, with surface textures emphasizing deep wrinkles, folds, and sagging skin rendered in high detail. The face is overlaid with minimal schematic features consisting of a central vertical line terminating in a bifurcated curve above and two circular dots for eyes, disrupting the naturalistic representation. The nose and mouth retain photorealistic qualities, marked by asymmetrical folds, compressed lips, and heavily textured dermal surfaces. Ears extend laterally from either side of the head with fleshy volume consistent with the wrinkled skin surface.

The body is comparatively small, clothed in a bright blue long-sleeved garment with simple folds at the shoulders and arms. Hands are proportionally reduced and stylized, one partially open and the other holding or gesturing with indistinct object-like forms resembling malformed bread or clay masses, integrated into the skin tone of the fingers. The garment’s surface is smooth and evenly colored, contrasting with the intricate detail of the face and head. The figure is set against a black void background, framed by vertical gray borders on each side, isolating the subject within a flat compositional space.

The overall image integrates photorealistic surface rendering with schematic minimal facial reduction and disproportionate anatomical scaling, resulting in a hybrid artifact merging portraiture, caricature, and surreal alteration.
Illustrated composition of an anthropomorphic figure depicted in frontal orientation with a disproportionately large circular head. The facial area is nearly blank, interrupted only by minimal schematic symbols: a central vertical line extending from the brow downward, two small circular dots functioning as eyes, and a short oval aperture representing the mouth. A double curve terminates the upper end of the vertical line, reinforcing the motif’s geometric reduction. The head surface is rendered in pale tonal washes with subtle gradients, bordered by darker shaded patches at the periphery suggesting partial hair or contour shadow.

The figure’s hands are disproportionately enlarged and foregrounded. The left hand (viewer’s right) is raised and clenched around a partially eaten piece of bread. The bread fragment is irregularly shaped with a jagged bite edge, surface textures emphasizing porous crumb structure and crust roughness. The right hand (viewer’s left) appears closed in a grasping gesture, fingers heavily textured with deep brown shading that contrasts with the pale head. Both hands are volumetric, shaded with rough contouring, and exaggerated in proportion relative to the torso.

The composition isolates the figure against a blank white background, emphasizing the juxtaposition of schematic head, expressive oversized hands, and edible object. The interplay of abstraction and materiality links anthropomorphic reduction with alimentary imagery, creating a hybrid study of figure and consumption.
Indoor scene showing two anthropomorphic head forms held by a seated figure, both featuring the same schematic minimal facial motif. On the left, a large foam prototype head is constructed from carved polystyrene reinforced with masking tape patches across its surface. The material surface shows visible seams, overlapping adhesive strips, and uneven contours where the foam has been cut, sanded, and built up. Drawn directly on the foam is a simplified symbolic face consisting of a vertical line rising into a bifurcated curve at the forehead, intersected by two circular eyes positioned centrally. The prototype is held upright, oriented toward the camera, emphasizing its scale relative to the hand.

In the right hand, the figure holds a smaller articulated puppet or doll with similar cranial form. The puppet head is smooth and pale, marked with the same schematic facial motif, maintaining visual continuity with the foam prototype. The puppet’s body is clothed in layered fabric garments including a plaid patterned shirt, a textured undershirt, and trousers, with stitched seams and miniature tailoring details evident. Limbs are jointed and proportionally reduced, designed for manipulation in performance or animation. The puppet’s hair is composed of dark synthetic fibers attached at the scalp, contrasting with the smooth simplified face.

The background includes elements of a worktable, papers, and office furniture, situating the objects within a studio or workshop environment. The composition emphasizes the relationship between prototype-scale foam construction and finished fabric puppet, linking design processes across sculptural, illustrative, and performative domains.
Image showing three distinct anthropomorphic head forms arranged against a black background, each manipulated with surreal modifications that disrupt conventional facial anatomy. At the top center is a head characterized by a bulbous, fleshy surface with a flattened nose structure dominating the mid-region, absent of conventional eyes or mouth. Ear shapes protrude slightly from either side, while mottled textures across the surface create the impression of organic materiality with uneven coloration ranging from beige to brown. The form suggests a mask-like or eroded biological entity with its features abstracted into minimal geometry.

At the lower left, another head variation integrates mechanical and organic elements: the cranial surface includes stylized hair rendered with reddish tones, while the eye region is replaced entirely by a circular turbine-like structure radiating concentric metallic blades. From its center protrudes a sharp conical form resembling a beak or drill, extending outward in perspective. The rest of the facial area is subdued, emphasizing the mechanical ocular replacement as the central point of transformation.

On the lower right, a third head emphasizes geometric intervention through eyewear-like modifications. The eyes are obscured by horizontal metallic bars resembling shuttered glasses or vent-like slats, evenly spaced and aligned across the face. The mouth and other facial elements remain subdued, with the skin surface presented as pale and smooth, contrasting against the mechanical insert.

Together, the triadic arrangement forms a study in hybrid figuration, combining organic skin textures, mechanical insertions, and reductive abstractions. The black background isolates each head, presenting them as floating entities, emphasizing their status as experimental prototypes of surreal portraiture.
Illustrated composition combining anatomical draftsmanship, schematic facial abstraction, and photorealistic bread-animal hybrid form. The central figure is a bust-length representation of a human head and neck drawn with fine line work reminiscent of classical engraving. Hair is indicated with short linear strokes, tightly clustered across the scalp and crown to simulate texture, with variations in shading to articulate curvature. The ear is fully detailed with inner folds and ridges, emphasizing anatomical precision. Facial features, however, diverge into schematic abstraction: a vertical central line runs from brow to chin, terminating above in a bifurcated curve, with two circular dots representing eyes and a small oval aperture functioning as a mouth. This geometric motif disrupts the otherwise naturalistic head rendering, flattening expressive potential into a diagrammatic symbol.

To the right shoulder of the bust, a distinct secondary element is collaged: a curled cat rendered with photographic textural qualities, though its fur pattern is replaced with the surface of golden-brown braided bread. The animal rests with limbs folded beneath its body, tail curled around, and head partially obscured. The bread texture includes crust ridges, golden sheen, and floury surface variations, producing a convincing illusion of baked matter as living pelt. The juxtaposition of bread-surface cat with schematic-faced bust creates a hybrid scenario where symbolic, naturalistic, and surreal layers converge within one frame.

The background consists of paper substrate bearing visible creases, light stains, and faint printed graph lines, suggesting repurposed or archival material as drawing support. The overall composition functions as a hybrid artifact merging fine-art draftsmanship, schematic minimalism, and surreal collage of organic-animal-food crossover, emphasizing disjunction and unexpected adjacency.
Large-scale composite digital layout consisting of numerous image clusters, charts, and collaged visual references distributed across a black background. The composition is structured into distinct zones separated by white connector lines that draw attention to highlighted subsections. On the left, a webpage-like interface is visible, featuring profile elements, numerical statistics, thumbnails, and graphical interface components. Text values include numerical data such as “4.9K” and “2.7B,” displayed adjacent to rows of thumbnails representing visual archives or posts. Above this section, a purple frequency graph with sharp peaks occupies a rectangular panel, set beside a botanical-like macro image with radiating structures. The central region of the composition is densely populated with hundreds of small square and rectangular image tiles arranged in a grid-like mosaic. These images vary in content from portrait photography to illustrations, sketches, sculptural documentation, and mixed-media artworks. Subdivisions include grayscale photographs, colored renderings, and three-dimensional object captures. Lines extend outward from this dense core to magnified clusters on the right-hand side, where images are enlarged and reorganized for visibility. On the rightmost portion, a column of enlarged images includes manipulated portraits, sculptural masks, anatomical studies, paintings, and references to breadlike textures integrated with anthropomorphic motifs. Additional clusters show objects resembling clay models, carved reliefs, documentary stills, and collaged figures from historical and contemporary sources. Visual material is curated to emphasize thematic density, with repeated motifs of distorted heads, bread forms, hybrid anatomical imagery, and experimental portrait construction. The entire arrangement functions as a cartographic visualization of an archive, simultaneously representing statistical data, visual documentation, and thematic clustering. The structure integrates digital interface elements, quantitative analysis, and visual research fragments into a singular composite map emphasizing both breadth and depth of archival content.
Two-part vertical composition presenting distinct yet thematically linked visual studies. The upper section depicts an abstract anthropomorphic head rendered with painterly textures and minimal features. The cranial form is circular with a mottled surface ranging from pale beige to darker brown gradients. Linear minimal facial features are limited to a central vertical stroke resembling a nose, two circular dots for eyes, and a short horizontal element suggesting a mouth. The ears are positioned symmetrically but flattened into schematic ovals with faint tonal modeling. Hair-like texture is suggested at the top edge through a darker crown zone without detailed strand articulation. The background is an indistinct gradient wash in muted tones, isolating the head form without contextual setting. The lower section presents an interior environment dominated by an open window in the center, framed by tall vertical walls rendered in muted whites and grays. Light floods through the window aperture, illuminating the surrounding interior with diffuse highlights. The left foreground includes a large rounded mass resembling the abstract head motif from the upper section, positioned against the wall and oriented sideways. The floor area is covered with scattered rectangular sheets of paper rendered in disorganized clusters, angled irregularly and overlapping. Furniture elements are partially visible, including a dark structure resembling a chair or cabinet on the right margin. The tonal palette emphasizes browns, grays, and off-whites with painterly blending, producing a subdued and somber atmosphere. The juxtaposition of the schematic head form and the paper-filled interior suggests continuity of motif across human representation and environmental setting.
