Francesco Fragomeni and Chris Limbrick, coworkers at the web design platform Squarespace, became every cubicle jockey’s heroes this week with their now-viral depictions of famous paintings the duo creates using only objects from their New York City office. “The only rules are that all props must be things found in the office and all editing must be done on a phone,” according to their Tumblr for the project “Foolsdoart.” A few examples of their creations, which are also on Instagram:
Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring (1665):
René Magritte’s The Son of Man (1964):
Frida Kahlo’s Thinking About Death (1943):
Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa (1503-1506):
