Talented Dutch street artists Jan Is De Man and Deef Feed were given permission by the owner of an apartment building in Utrecht to create a large mural on the side. Upon arriving at the idea of turning the building into a giant bookcase, the artists asked the building’s residents to give them the title to their favorite book so they could include it in the mural.

A new mural in Utrecht. The artist asked the residents for their favorite book and then included those into the mural.

Also included in the mural is a small black book on the left hand side of the bottom shelf that features a tiny, but distinctive Playboy bunny logo on the spine.
