    William VanHoogstraat, known by his students and friends as Bill Vann, was a St. Louis, Missouri-based illustrator best known for his sports illustrations. Dubbed the "Godfather of Illustration" by his peers, Bill spent more than four decades as a self-employed commercial artist commissioned by some of the nation's top companies and as a mentor to generations of St. Louis-area illustrators.
