"Faeries of the Faultlines: As Observed & Documented by Iris Compiet"

Take my hand.
Let me tell you about Faeries,
let me take you away on a journey,
and adventure…

Iris Compiet is a traditional artist and illustrator from the Netherlands. She is the illustrator of The Dark Crystal Bestiary, winner of the 2020 Jack Gaughan Award for Best Emerging Artist, and a 2020 nominee for the Chesley Award for Best Gaming Related Illustration. Iris’s work has appeared in numerous publications including Spectrum, Infected by Art, ImagineFX, and 3D Total. Some of her other clients include Wizards of the Coast and Netflix.

Iris has always known exactly what she wanted to do: paint and illustrate fantastical beings and share them with the world. She draws inspiration from European folklore, mythology, fairy tales, ghost stories, and anything from tombstones, Victorian photography, and popular movies to music. In Faeries of the Faultlines Iris is your guide to the Faultlines, a world of fantastical creatures from beyond the veil.

“Iris Compiet is the rarest of artist: That who invokes a complete and cohesive reality with every image she creates. Beautiful, powerful, and contemplative all at once.”
– Guillermo Del Toro

“Iris’s beautiful and richly rendered watercolours lift the veil between our reality and the secret world of the fey, offering a glimpse into the fantastical realm inhabited by deftly drawn denizens of moss-laden forests, dank marshes, and secluded glades. This is your portal to the fairy kingdom.”
– Tony DiTerlizzi, Co-creator & illustrator of The Spiderwick Chronicles

“The two touchstones of fantasy are voice and vision … I have known Iris for many years. I have watched her find her voice. I am enchanted by her vision.”
– John Howe
