Two Bored Coworkers Recreate Famous Paintings Using Their Office Supplies
If you’re bored at the office and don’t know what to do (besides work, ugh), Chris Limbrick and Francesco Fragomeni have got you covered. These two (clearly very busy) workers at Squarespace in NY spend their free time recreating famous paintings using whatever they find in their office for a project they’ve called “Fools Do Art.”
There are two simple rules they follow – only use stuff found in the office, and any editing must be done on their smart phones. Given those limitations, they’ve done an amazing job!

Bored Panda, I know you need advertising to exist, but when the ad covers most of the story with no way to easily remove it, it is frustrating and makes me want to stop visiting your site.

Bored Panda, I know that sites need advertising in order to support and finance the page, but when ads cover most of the words in a story and there is no way to easily remove them, it is extremely annoying. Makes me not want to follow you.

I think they're wonderfully creative, with great senses of humor! Thanks!

Love it! Especially the Mexican hat... By the way, you have someone paying you while you guys set up these pics?1 Must be a great boss!
Barb Braun 11 years ago
VERY creative and fun! I'd love to know where they work and I loved it that they used paper toilet seat covers as Elizabethan collars.
AliciaDelosReyesHankins 11 years ago
They've got great office supplies! I wanna hang out with them at work!
Marika Moor 11 years ago
some pictures are really artistic, humouros and not similar at all. and then some are quite similar, good work both ways!

In some pictures you should normally have been partly naked... Or totally like in the last one :)

Disappointing that there was no office supply used for the last one. LOL.

When do they get any WORK done? If they are bored, they need to lay them off. Why pay them to play around?
MaryamSmith 11 years ago
Call me crazy, but shouldn't they be working while at work? Anyway, the pics are hysterical. The Napoleon Crossing the Alps, genuis!

None of those were office supplies. Anyone who has way to much free time and money can do exactly that. Not impressed!
MatthewStrauch 11 years ago
I can see year end reviews now..."It's been a good year, but due to the out of control office supply budget, we have to let some of you go."
LauraRouyer 11 years ago
Creative and too much time on their hands. Perhaps brainstorm things to do with their free time. Maybe alternate with something charitable
LillianaHoffman 11 years ago
well, congratulations to their boss for paying them to not do their job... not really unique or inspired... others you've posted were better
