Donny: "President Trump doesn't get it. Just a bunch of stupid books. Books never did anything for President Trump. Oughta just burn 'em all, all the books. Dumb. Worthless. ...Oh! Except for The Art of the Deal, right? Have you seen my ratings?" (sudden coughing fit)

19. 'Steven' King? Not Stephen? Nope, I don't think so. It's actually Art.

It is an art work by Phil Shaw, a British digital-printmaker.

20. It's actually an art piece done by someone with Photoshop.

Here's a link to the article - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8218703/Artist-digitally-creates-books-shelf-reveal-hidden-coronavirus-message.html

As the nation continues to control the spread of the coronavirus, one artist has decided to narrate the story of self-isolation amid the pandemic.

Digital-printmaker Phil Shaw, who was born in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, used the power of digital manipulation to entertain fans with a short story of the nation's fight against Covid-19.

Taking to social media to share his project with the nation, the artist, who was able to create a distinctive 'bookshelf' appearance, wrote: 'Shelf isolation 2 - the story so far...'

The manipulated image made to resemble an authentic bookshelf displayed a range of books from Stephen King's It to Adam Thorpe's Still and revealed a hidden message about the rise and hopeful fall of coronavirus.

24. This is WONDERFUL! From the mind of a librarian!

Superb!

[Tactical Peek]

27. Not from a librarian, from an artist named Phil Shaw.

See posts #19 and #20 above, and the links therein.

The text someone added below the bookshelves is untrue.

[calimary]

31. Well, okay then. I just lapped up the photo and that was that.

Still pretty cool, though. As is #19!
