Here's some AMAZING MuseItUp Cover Art Trivia...

SHIRLEY BURNETT is our NEWEST CA and ANNIE MELTON was our FIRST CA...the fact that ANNIE'S one and ONLY Muse Cover is still in the TOP, should give you an idea about the incredible talent Muse has brought into it's Graphics Department.

ANNIE left, as have other CA's since, bit with every leaving more skills sign on board.

CK. Volnek, Suzannah Safi, and Kaytalin Platt, the three TOP placing artists, have been with Muse almost since the beginning and their numbers prove they keep putting out to borrow an image from the US Marines...

THE BEST OF THE BEST!


So what's next? Covers that make you want to sleep with the night light's on?
