His books run the gamut from a classic comic approach to the more eclectic. But all have an edge that mixes surreal storytelling and graphics. I recommend his most recent Motel Universe. - Print Magazine Drescher, a Danish cartoonist and illustrator, has a naive, slightly ratty line that reminds me a little of early '80s Lynda Barry, while his childlike, awkward, surpassingly strange character designs and penchant for patterning recall Mark Beyer. But he remains a sui generis talent, and his extravagant satire hits the spot in these crazy-weird times... ...Though we're only halfway through the year, Motel Universe is already on my list of favorite comics of 2019. - The Comics Journal Joakim Drescher is a very funny guy indeed... ...We're seeing an ennui-laden winged creature inspired by Dante's Inferno one minute, and a guy having sex with what appears to be a mermaid the next--even the hairy character caught in flagrante delicto by Drescher's paintbrush seems to be aware of just how weird it all is. - AIGA Eye on Design He draws the most disturbing and exciting scenes imaginable. - Cultura Collectiva Joakim is carving a place for himself in the image world.
