Compiet is well known in some artistic circles, but she is clearly just getting started in making a name for herself with this first stand-alone publication – and I, for one, can’t wait to see where her undoubtedly wonderful artistic career will go next. The Faultlines is an ancient name given to those places where the veil between this world and the Other is thinnest. Compiet created this place full of fantastical wonders, and the new Faeries of the Faultlines: Expanded, Edited Edition takes readers on a journey. Highly recommend this one for an escapist experience in the woods and swamplands of the fairy's domain.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. 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. She has made a name for herself on Kickstarter with several projects, but most noticeably with Faeries of the Faultlines. Following in the vein of the faerie illustrators who came before her, we can spot notes of Alan Lee, Brian Froud, Arthur Rackham and more in Compiet’s compilation of fey drawings, but we’re entranced enough by the fey to always want more. Recently the Faultlines have been stirring, opening up to all who wish to see, and to all who dare to venture.

Nothing was really planned out, it was all very natural and it made perfect sense to create a book which people could take with them when they’d go out into nature. This is one of those art books where you read all the explanations and tid-bits about the characters drawn/documented because it adds so much; it creates the whole experience. Brian Froud "Iris summons and draws upon the forces that are necessary in giving life to such creatures--imagination, an intelligent curiosity, and a relentless energy. 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. My guess is that artist Iris Compiet has a similar heartfelt connection to Froud and Lee's work (I mean, messrs Froud and Lee have written forewords for the book, so.

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. It is quite easy to get enthralled by this book with the illustrations and the formatting and some of the tone therein. I’m often asked if I see the faeries in our world and I think people mistake seeing with actually seeing, by way of looking.
