Swedish photographer and retoucher Erik Johansson is a favorite artist of many in the Photoshop community. His work has been described as a "genetic mix of Dali and Escher" and many artists have come to respect his work for both the quality of its execution, as well as the creative ideas behind each piece. I recently had the opportunity to chat with Erik in a Google+ Hangout. During our conversation we talked a bit about his work, his workflow, as well as a bit about his creative process.
