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.
