When the boss is away, the bros will play. Coworkers Francesco Fragomeni and Chris Limbrick from Squarespace beat the day-to-day lull of office boredom by taking upon themselves the start of a gag project they called Fools Do Art.

The pair set out to recreate some famous works of art with some quite impressively faithful, yet insanely hilarious results.

It all began with their humble recreation of Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam," which consisted of nothing more than the two bros on opposite ends of a black office couch, reaching out to each other.

The photo was uploaded onto their project's Instagram account and received so much praise and popularity that they challenged themselves with more elaborate props and costumes -- all using materials found just in their office -- so they could star in more re-enactments of masterpieces.

Another rule to the project is all post editing may only be done on an iOS or Android phone.

Some of the artworks the pair has taken on are Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa," Johannes Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring," Edgar Degas' "The Ballet Dancers," and Caravaggio's "Davide con la testa di Golia" (David with the Head of Goliath).
