Product Description
Turbulence: A Log Book is an intricately produced artist's book that provides a narrative experience like no other. A tour of the vividly imagistic world of renowned illustrator Henrik Drescher, Turbulence follows one man through a troubled past, the uncertain future, and into the timeless realm of myth. A man boards a ship with a valise. In his cabin he opens the case, revealing a small replica of the boat he's on. Through its portholes he embarks on a journey filled with strange and terrible visions...Incorporating the symbolic language of Drescher's trademark illustration and collage style, Hindu mythology, and remarkable production elements, Turbulence is a rare occasion for a world-class artist to create a unique piece of art in book form, and a total immersion into a sophisticated visual experience.

 Little Log Book with Great Big Art July 22, 2004
This was a fantastic recent find at a used bookstore. The art is amazing. The story...so-so. I bought it for the art. Visually stunning, Henrik Drescher is someone I'm going to pay attention to in the future.
 Fascinating but April 24, 2004

Henrik Drescher is an amazingly talented man and this book certainly is evidence of both his skill and creativity. However, I find more and more I want books to endure more than one read or more than one view. After I went through the book once, I found it languished on my shelf. It is nonetheless worth that one long view.

i was not able to really follow the story, and that was a little frustrating, but i came away grateful that i had the opportunity to glance into the most personal depths of a man's mind.
drescher's images conjure up dark feelings, yet they are fascinating in their seeming honesty.
I recommend this book for people who enjoy personal looks at artists.
