Office Workers Recreated 19 Famous Paintings And It’s Hilarious

Working a 9-to-5 job in an office can be as boring as it sounds. On a slow day, many employees might seek a way to pass the time without getting in trouble with the boss. Some may play games, others might chat with co-workers, or pull pranks on them, but they certainly wouldn’t pose as the subjects from famous paintings… Right?

Not quite. Chris and Francesco, two employees in the Squarespace office in NYC have mad a game from recreating famous paintings when they get bored working. The rules are simple: they can use only office supplies for props and all the editing of the photos must be done a phone (Android or iPhone). They post the finished recreation on their site Fools Do Art. After seeing what they’ve accomplished, you must agree that they are very resourceful.
