When you’re 11 you’re told you won’t amount to anything. When you’re 18 they’ll tell you that fantasy isn’t real art… it’s important you don’t listen

I’ve just returned from a magnificent trip to Cape Town, South Africa I was there for the wonderful @playtopia.bsky.social and I’ve felt welcome and at home from day one. I’ve had a lovely time at the event and managed to fulfil several of my bucket list things.

I have been lucky to be in London at the exact same time as the exhibit for @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein. I was also lucky enough to see it on the big screen a week ago and I’m STILL thinking about it. I’m obsessed with it. This is how you do it, with passion

I’ve been quiet lately… just doing my thing, painting some pictures, making some art, staying out of trouble (most of the time)

Today I spent some time painting unicorns. The day didn’t go as planned but turned around painting these. As John Constable said “painting is but another word for feeling”

Jenny, a personal favourite I sculpted a couple years ago. She’s a Swamphag, a creature I absolutely love and have painted often. I felt it was time to sculpt her. I had great fun experimenting with materials

Not many MtG cards from me this year, but this has got to be my favourite. I finally got to paint a big cat thanks to my ad Forrest Schehl for MtG's set Tarkir Dragonstorm. The original is for sale! Anyone interested, let me know

I’ve had to make the tough call to cancel my attendance as artist guest of honour at the Fantasy Art Workshop in Milwaukee in June… why? Because it’s no longer safe

Slowly been getting into the mindset of painting. I’ve filled up this tiny watercolor sketchbook with sketches that I do with no other reason than to just do them. No expectations, no need to succeed. But yesterday I felt I succeeded a bit and that was a win

The ship behind her was made by my father. The toe is part of my wee goblin child by Wendy Froud. And a painting by Brian Froud is keeping a close eye on everything going on in my studio

And yes…. She’s glow in the dark

Iris Compiet @iriscompiet.art · 24/01/2025

I promise I paint as well. But everything I’m working on right now is still a bit secret… it’s Faeries of the Faultlines related! Anyway, I am also making this kind of creatures. Because I like doing things that make me happy

#portfolioday you say? I’m a traditional artist who is working for clients such as the Henson Company, Wizards of the Coast, Star Wars, Netflix, Insight Editions, Harper Collins and many more. I’m the creator of Faeries of the Faultlines. iriscompiet.art

In honour of David Bowies birthday I figured I’d share some of the art I did for the Labyrinth Bestiary. It’s only forever, not long at all. David Bowie, the one and only Goblin King

Oh wow… uhm I guess you like my weird wee fae. thanks for the love. Yes this is a faery. I sketched this one a while ago, here’s a view of the sketch and the rough unfinished doll. For those interested, I have an entire book filled with creatures such as this

Iris Compiet @iriscompiet.art · 01/01/2025

Actually… they originated from this book… by yours truly

Iris Compiet @iriscompiet.art · 01/01/2025

I actually sketched this one a year or so ago.. for my next faeries of the Faultlines book. And after spending some time with Wendy and Brian I figured I’d just try and sculpt some of my faeries

Iris Compiet @iriscompiet.art · 01/01/2025

Thanks, they’re actually from the Faultlines… faeries of the Faultlines

I made this… I had fun making this…

2024 threw a lot of curveballs and I didn’t really get to achieve the goals I set out to achieve. But I did illustrate a new Bestiary, Star Wars no less & I did spend time with loved ones + I am still here! 2025, I have no goals really, just a general direction and looking forward to the adventure

Iris Compiet @iriscompiet.art · 24/12/2024

Painted for a wonderful patron who requested a hopeful faery... a faery of light, a faery of warmth, of love, of hope and happiness. A faery who welcomes back the light, pushes back the darkness and sings songs of wishes for the future. Happy holidays, merry Xmas, happy Yule to all.
