Product Information

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." Belíssimas gravuras e desenhos. Fabulosas descrições e pequenas histórias sobre os habitantes desse mundo que nos é apresentado. The other issue I had is with the font used for the "written" portions of the journal. The font used was a super slanted and cramped cursive font that I struggled to read, especially on some of the faerie names. It would have been nice to have these parts in a more legible font. The last complaint I have is that a lot of the drawings in here were very unfinished feeling, they were just rough sketches. I enjoy more finished drawings, but that is a personal preference.

The stories in the book are often very short and more like notes on particular faeries. I don’t want people to just read my stories but instead be able to add to them, to elaborate on them in their minds as they read.Una guida completamente illustrata, ricchissima di bozzetti e stupendi disegni dai colori quasi acquerellati, alle magiche, misteriose e spesso pericolose creature che dimorano nella Faglia, un Altrove nascosto che, a volte, si svela agli umani. 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

Faeries of the Faultlines by Iris Compiet | Goodreads

The book is a collection of notes and illustrations on the many fae and faeries that Compiet has encountered on her travels on the Faultline, the space where the world of the Other and our world intersect. Aside from the above this is a nice "coffee table" book for anyone who loves faerie mythology or cryptozoology in general.Iris ha un talento mozzafiato, i suoi schizzi sono pazzeschi, e gli acquerelli ti catturano fino a portarti all'interno della narrazione stessa: è davvero coinvolgente, ricco di dettagli e storie che ti traportano in un'altro mondo. I can't tell you how many times I read Faeries, as a kid. You'd find me hunched in some little nook of the house, listening to Enya on my Walkman. This is such a beautiful book, and the descriptions of the fairies are whimsical and grounded (if that makes sense; it really feels like Compiet is documenting real beings). Highly recommend this one for an escapist experience in the woods and swamplands of the fairy's domain. Disclaimer: I received a free digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss+. All opinions in this review are my own and are honest and unbiased.) They can stay underwater for a very long time, rarely rising to the surface to breathe. When they do, only their glowing white eyes are visible, as their otherwise dark features hide them from sight. Their thin, dark, and long hair allows them to cover the water's surface, creating the illusion of solid ground. Once a child steps on this treacherous surface, they will find themselves ensnared in the dark tangle of the nykr's hair, choke, and drown."

Then again, I hear that the author has taken from previous books of the same nature and then expanded on those. Which might explain why the second half got better and had more details. Those, as far as I can tell, were faeries for which the author had invented the text herself. Connections such as talking about Michelangelo possibly using crushed faery pupae cement the Faultlines even more as a real place. Can you talk about developing those kind of touchpoints? HARDCOVER.

Über den AutorrnrnIris Compiet is your guide to the Faultlines, a world filled with faeries and creatures from beyond the veil. A traditional artist and illustrator from the Netherlands, Iris has always known exactly wha. Those sketches turned into a book because I wanted to invite more people into the Faultlines, a world I’ve always known but wasn’t quite ready for until that moment, that day when I just made peace with myself and let it flow. Iris Compiet: From a very early age I was intrigued by the world of faery. I was always reading stories and listening to fairy tales. When I stumbled upon the book Faeries by Brian Froud and Alan Lee, I figured that could be my job when I grew older: paint faeries, be an artist. At first, things didn’t really work out because I lost touch with fantasy and the faery world as I grew older and went to art school. Fantasy was frowned upon in art school so I had to put it aside for a bit. if you’re looking for a fantastical book that will capture your imagination, Faeries of the Faultlines by Iris The field notes style of the book really pulls you into the world. What made you land on this particular presentation? Did any naturalists who documented our world inspire you?
