If you don't know, let me fill you in: It's the hit Broadway musical by writer/actor/rapper/composer/lyricist/genius Lin-Manuel Miranda based on the life of Alexander Hamilton. The show is lauded for its diverse cast and overall awesomeness. It also just won a Grammy and it's almost impossible to get tickets for the show.

In honor of Miranda's breathtaking portrayal of Alexander Hamilton, artist and photographer Danielle DeJesus painted Lin-Manuel Miranda's version of the historical figure on an actual ten-dollar bill.

"The piece was painted using water color and acrylic and took a total of eight hours to paint," DeJesus tells BuzzFeed.

Currently, DeJesus does not plan on selling it. Instead, she's "hoping to give it to Lin-Manuel Miranda himself."

"I've never been much into American History, but I have to say that seeing so many beautiful people of color playing the characters in Hamilton blew my mind and opened my ears," DeJesus writes on her Instagram.
