The amazing artist Andrea Aste created our new cover dedicated to performer and activist extraordinaire, the beloved Josephine Baker. Check out Andrea’s incredible art here and here

I wanted to tie this perfect cover, the magazine’s very first illustrated cover, into our more fashion orientated magazine, and what better way then shooting an editorial of another unique talent, Brian Scott Bagley! Brian is the former Artistic Director of Le Parc de Josephine Baker, the first M.C. of African decent at the renown Crazy Horse de Paris, Choreographer of Dita Von Teese, and popular Parisien Showman. He is also just an all around amazing guy. He and Andrea have that in common. Enjoy!

Check out the making of VOLUP2's new cover by Andrea Aste dedicated to artist and activist extraordinaire Josephine Baker!
