Awesomely Creative Employees Recreate Art Masterpieces When They’re Bored

Chris and Francisco are employees of Squarespace, a website building company with offices in New York City. While I’m sure they do great work for the company, it’s what they do when they’re not doing their jobs that has captured so many people’s attention. During what I’ll have to assume is their lunch break (isn’t that right, guys?), the two recreate some of the most famous paintings the world has ever known.

What’s perhaps most impressive about Chris and Francisco’s versions of these well-known works, besides the fact that they haven’t gotten in trouble yet, is that they’re done using only things that can be found around the office and all editing most be done on a smart phone. For more from Francisco and Chris, follow their blog and Instagram account.
