Whether it’s on Tumblr, via Facebook, or over at Instagram, you really ought to be following Fly Art, a collaboration between Gisella Velasco and Toni Potenciano that marries two of the best things in life: fine painting and fresh hip-hop lyrics. The resulting series gives a whole new meaning to “the classics,” providing a veritable crash course in Western civilization.
