That would be fun playing tic tac toe on the streets like that. It would take like 20 minutes to make the chart then the ‘x’ and ‘o’

Some awesome edits there, very talented work. I saw some of these elsewhere that didn’t credit Erik, pisses me off when people don’t credit the artist, you can see the work that went in, it costs nothing to add a name.
Thanks :)

Jaqi In Sweden there has been a dialog if IKEA would buy VOLVO now when they are in economic crisis. I guess it is a comment on what would happen if infact VOLVO was bought by IKEA. Another create comment on IKEA and SAAB is the following Image http://krohniskt.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/om-ikea-koper-saab/

All of these are mindblowing. Such a creative artist!
I’ve got my own spin on the Volvo picture.
To ME, it shows the relation between purchasing a Volvo and purchasing an item from Ikea. You get a top notch car with peace of mind – so having Ikea on the bottom left, with the Alan key in-hand shows how when you buy a Volvo, you’re buying a worry-free vehicle.

Awesome work, this is a perfect way to manifestate an art using modern tools creating a real way of imaginative and impresive images, also we can see a new form of comunication of fresh and innovative ideas, this work are expresive and do not selfindulgent as many “intelectual” modern art, sometimes a modest and simple art are better when are expontaneous, Erik Johansson are a real master.
