Once again Virgin Mobile is doing their share of goodwill with their annual Re*Generation Art Auction benefiting homeless youth charities across the U.S. With works from an all-star line up of artists like Jordan Isip (pictured right), Melinda Beck, Calef Brown, Thomas Campbell, the Clayton Brothers, Greg Lamarche and Matt Leines, among others, it's a chance to get your hands on some great work while helping to assuage the often overlooked problem of homeless youth. Marking the beginning of National Youth Homeless Awareness Month, all donated works are up for public bidding at Re*Generation until 1 November at 10pm EST.

There will also be a few LG mobile phones redecorated by five of the artists up for grabs (above). Everyone is welcome but capacity is limited. You can pre-register as a VIP to ensure your spot by making a $25 donation. Check out and bid on all of the works up for auction at Re*Generation.

A study in contradiction, "Playhouse" mingled with tattooed babies and dotted light paintings in Chicago gallerist Carrie Secrist Gallery's booth. Wegner creates "images that are safe and unsettling, abject...
Swoon: Switchback Cities of Switchback Sea
