Thank you very much!
hello
Reblogged this on OnlyArt and commented:
wooooOOOOOOooooooow! That is amazing!
these images are amazing!
Thanks! this guy is incredible. His work is so creative, unique, imaginative. Love it!
what a mind!
seriously, two things. first, i’m sick of freshly pressed blogs featuring photos that i could easily take myself. this – however – is terrific. finally, a FP photo blog that is worth looking at. brilliant. you need not only the technical know-how but also the idea. that’s really great.
second, the milk one? ewww.
Thank you very much. I’ve always liked his work so I wanted to share it. Being an artist makes you want to help other artists out I suppose. I am glad everyone is enjoying it as much as I am.
To the milk comment: I really debated showing this image because I thought it was pretty gross as well. However, gross things can be fun so why not. Someone will enjoy it!
Oh…WOW. Talk about turning perspective on its ear!
Love these — brilliant work.
🙂
These are perfectly wonderful!
Great stuff! He creates such interesting worlds, and it looks so OK at first glance. Thank you for posting it.
Wow, very cool!
Total coolness!
Wonderful, wonderful images. Being a bit sleepy this eve, it took me a sec to realise what was going on in the spilled cup image (oops, indeedy). They’re simply superb and many thanks for posting this 😉
These are awesome! Thanks for sharing his work!
Excellent work. Fantastic. Thank you for sharing this. Connie

Wow! Never heard of him and I am from Sweden. Thanks for sharing!

I love this kind of surreal stuff! You have to wonder what the heck it’s like to be inside the mind of that person’s mind.
I would assume that person gets bored easily and uses his imagination often to amuse himself. I love his work!
this is totally awesome 🙂 it is such a nice collection of lovely images 🙂 i think that we could all take some inspiration to use our imaginations to create our own views of these situations. it would certainly be more interesting 🙂
keep smiling
cool unreal image!
Very creative.
Amazing work! Very surrealistic.
Brilliant!!
Amazing!
What an absolutely amazing artist!! I love that he is altering reality, great work.
You’ve been freshly pressed! Congrats!!
Thank you!
Oh may! Those photos are so amazing! So creative!!
All your pictures are so stunningly surreal! I simply love the first one! You have a divine talent 🙂
Très étonnant je ne connaisais pas cet artiste. C’est un peu le même univers que Magritte…
Merci pour cette découverte 🙂
Wow, thank you for introducing me to this whimsical art!
You are very welcome. I’ve been enjoying his work for a while now and thought that others should be able to enjoy it as well. He is pretty amazing. I’m glad you enjoy it.
That is defiantly strange. I love it. It actually has a reason to it. Thanks for sharing :D!
Love It – thanks for sharing! Congrats on being FP!
OMG !! If there’s something creative…this is it!! I mean …all I could say is – WOW !! Marvelous….gorgeous …stunning pics !! Love ’em !!
And please check out my latest post – http://raajtram.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/i-me-myself/
And even my new PhotoBlog – http://raajclicks.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/oh-i-love-my-laptop/
Ingenious! How does he create these surreal photographs? I love them.
I think most of these were taken in my neighborhood. Everything looks so familiar, we have giant balls in our roads and severe angles. The city has real trouble plowing when it snows.

I wanted to ask you how you do that but then you’ll probably have to kill me. 🙂
Fantastic photos’s!
this is amazing…my EYES are GLUED to the screen.
Reblogged this on Ash Blog.
wow these are awesome!!
I really like your first photo, and the one where you’re ironing your pants (I assume it’s you).
Love your work!
nice ideas
very creative, liked it very much
fantastic ! how you do it ?
I agree, they are fantastic, but they are not mine. The artist’s name is Erik Johansson. Check out some of his links in my blog. He has some amazing work.
They are all amazing ..I loved the first picture .. Very different …:)
These photos display a high level of creativity. Reminds me of M C Esher.
Amazing stuff! Aren’t we often becoming so involved with our occupation that we break ourselves trying to save a vase of little value, or trying to iron ourselves! I just love it all!
God bless.

OMG!!!!! You are freaking amazing.

really cool optical illusions
Make Something Mondays. Gosh, this is so wonderfully creative plus I like the bit on ironing with one’s clothes on ha ha ha ha ha…rather familiar though except I burnt my bum and could not really tell anyone!
Surreal and inventive…I love it. Some of it reminds me of the work of 70’s illustrator Patrick Woodroffe, especially the fish/house…thanks for posting..:)
This is crazy cool stuff.
This is absolutely amazing.
Superb like it very much…….
Magnificent work of art. Great imagination.
I’m proud to be a Swede when I se these pics!

These are amazing, I love the surrealist elements. I like the water flowing out of the painting and the man becoming a painting.
Great work! I love these interesting mind bending photos!
Wow. Wow. Wow.

I did not make them, no. I particularly enjoy his work and wanted to share it. He is very talented.
I love what you’ve done with these photographs. Very interesting indeed. I love the one with the painting being hung with water running out. The photo with the clay arms broken is really cool too. And that biker on the road…can you imagine how that guy might feel if the scene were real? Your work is fabulous. Great job!
WOW they look aaaamazing!

I admire the surrealist nature of Erik’s work. It brings Renée Magritte to mind.
It does kind of. I enjoy that work as well! Thanks!

awsome
Lol! He should have just used wrinkle release instead of ironing himself. Kidding of course…these are awesome. I think my favorite is between the cyclist + waterfall road and the dog + ballons.
Reblogged this on simply frances.
the ballon pic of the dog reminds me of “Up”!
Incredible pictures!
So perfectly fabulous & surreal and delightful!
Stunning and brilliant, thank you! :-))
sometimes your work seems to rob the location or subject of its natural beauty instead of intensifying the feel…other than that small gripe, i am in awe of your software capabilities. very imaginative.
Thanks for your comment. However, this is not my work. This is the work of Erik Johansson (links are posted above). I’ve enjoyed this artist for a long time because he sees the world in a different way. It is something to consider.
Some great images in this post, love it.
