Digital screenshot of website interface structured into three-column format with dark vertical sidebar at left, central main content area, and slim navigation column at right. Site header identifies subject as “Alex Boya” with profile page dedicated to projects and activities. Top of main content column displays horizontal banner illustration in monochrome ink depicting humanoid bust with turbine-like engine head, seated behind bar counter with bottles and shelves, composition framed within architectural interior. Beneath banner, page organizes content into three stacked article previews.

First article titled “Dernier verre avec Justine” features illustration identical to header, paired with text excerpt beneath. Second article presents photographic scene from Festival 2019, crowd of people gathered at Café Court event with Espresso signage visible in background; article caption emphasizes return of Espresso program and festival continuation. Third article highlights portrait of individual in front of abstract colorful backdrop with arms crossed, title reading “Café court – Alex Boya.” Each article preview block includes thumbnail image, bold red title text, excerpt paragraph, and red link button labeled “Lire la suite.”

Right-hand column lists related navigational links and tags, including author name, article references, and thematic categories. Sidebar on left displays structured menu hierarchy: homepage link, thematic categories such as “Actualités,” “Articles,” and “Entretiens,” as well as search bar and social media icons. Footer region of page displays multiple logos of partner organizations, including Telefilm Canada, SODEC, ONF/NFB, Conseil des arts du Canada, and media partners, arranged in horizontal row against dark background.

Visual layout emphasizes clear separation of functional zones through background contrast: dark grey sidebars flanking white central content, red highlights marking interactive buttons and category labels. Typography employs sans-serif fonts for body text and headers, consistent with contemporary web design standards. Images alternate between illustrative artwork and documentary photography, creating balance between artistic representation and event documentation. Overall webpage structure functions as professional portfolio and news archive presenting Alex Boya’s artistic contributions, public events, and institutional associations within structured digital interface.
Composite image showing juxtaposition of digital publication screenshot and physical studio installation. Left section contains webpage open to an article titled “Making Bread With Alex Boya: How The Canadian Artist Is Worldbuilding In Reverse With ‘The Mill.’” Page layout displays large bread-figure illustration at top, followed by headline in bold typography and body text in column format beneath. Website header includes navigation bar and red accent design elements.

Right section of composite depicts three-dimensional bread sculpture placed on pedestal in front of visual reference collage. Sculpture constructed from irregularly baked loaf mass with crustal protrusions, fissures, and bulbous formations suggesting anthropomorphic features. Surface coloration golden brown with darker charred regions across protruding ridges. Object oriented forward, resting on support structure.

Behind sculpture, vertical display board covered with array of printed images affixed in dense grid. Reference images include portraits, anatomical diagrams, historical paintings, and photographic fragments, creating heterogeneous source archive. Board also features smaller bread-related photographs and prior iterations of anthropomorphic bread works. Upper section of board holds additional bread object on shelf, reinforcing continuity of theme.

Spatial organization situates bread sculpture as foreground focal point, reference collage as midground, and article reproduction as contextual anchor at left. Contrast between digital media representation and physical sculptural documentation emphasizes cross-platform integration of project identity.
Full-page digital article published on Cartoon Brew featuring an extended profile of Alex Boya and the creative worldbuilding methods behind his project The Mill. The article header presents a large illustrated bread-headed figure above the headline “Making Bread With Alex Boya: How The Canadian Artist Is Worldbuilding In Reverse With ‘The Mill.’” The introductory section summarizes Boya’s practice, highlighting his approach to building fictional universes through reverse logic and associative construction, drawing connections between The Mill, bread iconography, and other works.

Embedded throughout the article are multiple visual assets: stills, character illustrations, video embeds, and related images. Early sections reference Boya’s film Turbine with an illustrated still, followed by sketches of bread-headed humanoids rendered in line art. Later sections show photographic and drawn imagery of bread loaves, puppet constructions, and animation stills, aligning Boya’s visual universe across media. A video embed from the National Film Board (NFB) features animation work with identifiable still frames. Additional drawings depict hybrid characters composed of bread forms with anthropomorphic limbs, reinforcing thematic connections between food imagery, surreal figuration, and narrative development.

The written text alternates between commentary from the journalist and contextual information about Boya’s practice. Topics include influences, workflow, visual symbolism, Canadian cultural framing, and the blending of analogue drawing with digital techniques. Specific references are made to his experimentation with materiality, his narrative layering, and the way The Mill integrates bread symbolism into broader worldbuilding strategies. Quotes from Boya are included, contextualizing his philosophy on creation, reverse engineering of fictional contexts, and long-term project goals.

The article concludes with author credits, links to related content, and a section for community comments. Beneath the article body, the webpage layout includes sponsored promotional blocks for animation projects, recent Cartoon Brew news headlines, and external media links.
