Vans team rider Daniel Sandoval took the win today at the 2014 Vans Off the Wall BMX Invitational as part of the 52nd Annual Coastal Edge East Coast Surfing Championships (CE-ECSC) in Virginia Beach, Virginia. CE-ECSC is the largest and most anticipated action sports festival on the East Coast and the action and energy on the BMX park course did not disappoint.
The course was expanded this year to allow for plenty of lines and variety to go with the huge tricks thrown down in previous years. The crowd and riders gave it their seal of approval by “cranking it to 11″ from start to finish.
Gary Young was the top rider in Prelims on Friday, yet all 18 riders in the event rode great, reflected by the fact that less than 10 points separated Gary from 18th place.
Jason Watts from Brisbane, Australia made the most of his summer in the states by following up his third place finish at the Van Doren Invitational with a solid fifth place finish here. Boomerang airs and brakeless nosemanuals flowed together with huge tricks over the box. Fellow Aussie Ryan Guettler landed in fourth place with a one-handed table flip, huge flair, and the transfer of the weekend – an alleyoop 720 from spine to box.
Despite tweaking his knee during his top scoring prelim run, Gary Young followed up his big win at the Van Doren Invitational with a third place finish in Virginia Beach. He blasted the quarter pipe higher than anyone while riding in typical Gary fashion – fast and flowing with unique lines the other riders were blown away by.
Scotty Cranmer’s runs were unreal. He finished .20 behind the winner, despite a fall at the end of his second run which was full of highlights – a massive double tailwhip flip over the box, a clean 720 over the spine straight into a fufanu to icepick to turndown on the wallride.
Last year’s second place rider, Daniel Sandoval, moved to the top of the podium this year. In addition to his big tricks over the box, Daniel did huge double whips on the quarter pipe, a double whip over the channel, a 900 and a vader scuff nosemanual to add some lip trick variety.
“I am so excited to take home the win,” said Daniel Sandoval. “After placing second last year, I was super fired up to come back to Virginia Beach this year. Thanks to Vans for supporting this event, it’s always great to come out and compete in such a fun city.”
The vibe throughout the week at the Vans Off the Wall BMX Invitational was reminiscent of the Vans Triple Crown of BMX series that ran from 2001-2004. The insane level of riding was surpassed only by the amount of fun had by all.
A collection of Build-A-Bear versions of Michael Jackson, all made on the Build-a-bearville site and then edited on Paint to look more like Jackson.
The collection includes: Off the Wall, Thriller, Beat It, Say Say Say, Bad, Dangerous, Most Previous.
It took me about three hours, from making the Build-a-Bearville accounts, to finishing the Jacksons and collaborating them on Paint.

About the Artist:
"My work adopts methodologies that involve an engagement with the stories of others. To gain insight into the lives of my subjects I use ethnographic strategies of interviews and fieldwork. My interest lies in exploring the complex relationship between people, places, and stories, examining and translating into visual forms feelings of belonging, displacement, human interconnectivity, and the transitory nature of life."

"This photograph of Morro Rock, recorded at dawn with the full moon still up, shows the monolith
clothed in a wispy veil of fog. The image was made with a vintage (circa 1907) Kodak Panoram Model D
swing-lens camera."

I painted this because I thought it represented a typical young male. Then I had it pointed out to me that he had pussy on his mind, that the headless cat sybolized his obsession with the female body. It`s funny that I hadn`t seen this , considering that I was the artist, I am supose to know what I am painting. More of my work can be seen at www3.sympatico.ca/jim.rowe2/

f(untitled), faces, was created by artist Rob Pruitt in 2019 for HYxOffTheWall. Translating his iconic, candy-colored smiley faces from a traditional gallery setting into the Hudson Yards space, Pruitt shares these marked pastel gradations with a new, expanded audience. This body of work is based on a childhood experience of viewing Mark Rothko paintings with his father, who joked, “Wouldn’t it be better if the artist had drawn a face on it?” Collectively composed within this monumental span of the wall, the spectrum of palettes and mixed emotions beckon viewers to identify with their own mood swings and connect with a face in the crowd.
HYxOffTheWall, on exhibit at The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards from March 2019 to January 2020, features large-scale tableaus, interactive displays and murals from 13 artists. The exhibit was curated and produced by CultureCorps.
I made a Habbo that looked very similar to Michael Jackson, then in paint I edited some of the features, like the hair color and the clothing, to make it look like Michael Jackson in the 2000s. This one took a while since I colored each pixel. :/

About the Artist:
"My work represents the human body as a complicated abstraction, corporeally real, yet forever unknowable. I make drawings, videos, airbrush paintings, installations, and collaborative projects that treat the body as a site of spatial and temporal violence. My intention is to evoke powerful empathic experiences in viewers as they consider their own bodies as transitory – filled with vulnerability, comfort, discomfort, and the realization that they, too, are made of meat."
Nancy Baker Cahill is the recipient of an ARC Grant from the Center for Cultural Innovation. Her exhibition Fascinomas was featured in the project room at the Pasadena Museum of California Art in 2012, and she has been profiled in KCET’s award-winning Artbound series and in the Los Angeles Times.
Sally Storch
Remember Me (study), 2013
Oil on Canvas
20 x 16 inches
Courtesy the artist
Value: $5,800
Starting Bid: $2,000
"Sally Storch comes from an artistic family with roots in the Paris school of the early Twentieth Century.
Her great aunt Bertha Rihani lived and painted in Paris during the 1920’s and kept the company of Henri
Matisse and in particular Kees Van Dongen. Another aunt, painter Stephanie Stockton, attended The
Art Students League in New York and apprenticed with John Steuart Curry in the 1930’s. Storch spent a
great deal of time with both aunts, and both of these women painters were particularly influential to her
as a young girl.
The driving force in Sally Storch’s paintings is her ability as a storyteller. Her work offers a pure vision of
ordinary people unsentimentally portrayed. Her paintings are made up of intricate scenarios, each
person living their own tale. She allows them to go about their private lives, while we as viewers, unravel
the narrative.
Sally Storch received her Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Southern California. She currently
lives and works in Pasadena."
- Stephanie Retsek, Art Historian
