Faeries of the Faultlines: Expanded, Edited Edition

Product Information

I set out to build a career as a fantasy illustrator but, to be honest, it never really worked out for me, I never felt like I was doing anything I should be doing, and I hated the assumption that I would just draw faeries. Giant trees, moss covered rocks, the sound of leaves rustling, water trickling in a stream, the smell of wet earth, it’s like coming home. 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.

Brian Froud'Iris summons and draws upon the forces that are necessary in giving life to such creaturesimagination, an intelligent curiosity, and a relentless energy. A traditional artist and illustrator from the Netherlands, Iris has always known exactly what she wanted to do: paint and illustrate fantastical beings and share them with the world. I highly recommend this book if you love Fairies / the Fae, mythology, fantasy art, illustration, and watercolor!Spending so much time exploring the Faultlines, do you find that you start to see your creations in our world?

Then again, I hear that the author has taken from previous books of the same nature and then expanded on those.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. 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.

Aside from the above this is a nice "coffee table" book for anyone who loves faerie mythology or cryptozoology in general.

Iris Compiet is the rarest of artist: That who invokes a complete and cohesive reality with every image she creates.
