SM Vidaurri 's work is built around sequential imagery and a sense of serenity. A watercolorist who doesn't shy away from, but rather takes advantage of the nature of his material.
What is your ideal assignment?
I try to be open to a lot of different art forms. I'd want to do a comic that reflects the emotions that are evoked in the literature and music that inspire me. In their basic forms these are stories, and they have a certain mood or feeling. Ideally, I'd like to translate those same feelings into a visual.
What purpose does dividing space and using panels play in your work?
Building a page of a comic is like building a sentence. When two or more elements are near each other, there's a meaning that is created from their relationship that wasn't there before. I try to think of unique combinations that have a powerful effect. I just finished a comic about The Band and used the Canadian geese as a symbol for them because the goose, like the band, migrates from Canada to America.
How do you handle making revisions with such a delicate medium?
I do it over again. And again and again. I'm still at the stage where I learn from each painting. I enjoy painting so it's no chore for me to have to do it over. Most often I'll redo a piece if I'm personally dissatisfied with one that I know can be better.
