I was looking for something like this (a parametric plot of the imaginary part of a function) at wikipedia:

But I was expecting something like a logarithmic branch cut.
While I can show what happens if you rotate two and three cutlines:
You may try to plot the real or imaginary part of the function as a surface in the 3-dimentional space using some Mathematica software. Due to the countable set of intersections, I expect such a surface to look like a foam, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...lastic.jpg
