I'm very pleased to be able to share this invitation with everyone in St. Louis. If you know Bill, you know that he died way too early this past Spring.
You'll then also know that few have contributed more to the commercial art scene in St. Louis in the past 40 years. Bill Vann was one of the most talented, giving people I've ever met. He was a inspiration, helping young artists at absolutely every opportunity.
It's wonderful that this FUNdraiser is being orchestrated in his honor. He'll be honored, and smiling that we haven't forgotten him. If you're a FOB, or a friend of the St. Louis commercial art industry (photographers, illustrators, videographers, etc.) please join us.
