Join us for an afternoon with Iris Compiet for an interview and signing.
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.
She is the illustrator of The Labyrinth Bestiary, Star Wars Bestiary Vol. 1, winner of the 2021 Chesley Award for Best Interior Art for The Dark Crystal. And most recently, winner of the The European Science Fiction Society (ESFS) Award for Best Artist 2024. 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, and her art has appeared in publications around the world. In her work Faeries of the Faultlines Iris guides readers through a world of fantastical creatures from beyond the veil.
Iris draws inspiration from everything around her, nature, mythology, folklore, fairy tales, ghost stories, encounters with people and creatures and anything that will spark the imagination. She works in traditional media, mostly watercolors to bring to life the stories she wants to share. Her art is never perfect, never finished, but instead leaves something for the imagination for the viewer to participate and spin their own stories.
The interview will dive into Iris' inspiration, work and vision. There will be a Q&A and Iris will sign her books afterwards. Please reserve your book to make sure you get your copy signed.
