We all need something to break up the mundane routines of office life.

Coworkers Francesco Fragomeni and Chris Limbrick were goofing off at the Squarespace office when they decided to recreate "The Creation of Adam" in a quick snapshot.

After seeing their version together with an image of the original work of art, the two decided to get serious and challenged themselves to other classic works of art. The images were recreated using props they found around their office, then posted to Instagram.

The project, Fools Do Art, has since become significantly more elaborate. Coworkers have joined in and they're receiving submissions from all over the world.

"We're really excited about Frida Kahlo's Diego and I in which she painted a self-portrait with Diego Rivera's portrait with a third-eye embedded in her forehead," they told Mashable "We're also stoked to do Botticelli's The Birth of Venus which will just be hilarious in every possible way."

Maybe one of these days they'll get the whole office together to recreate A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.
