In anticipation of BookExpo America, the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression is holding an online auction of original illustration art and prints. The works to be sold are listed on eBay through Friday May 24. Proceeds will be used to help support the Kids' Right to Read Project and Banned Books Week.
One of my favorite pieces from this auction is
Meilo So's original artwork depicting the way we spend so much of our time these days totally connected. A young man and woman are paying close attention to their respective smart phones, but she is making an offline connection as well.

September 28, 2013 Update: On her website, Meilo So gives this work the title
Romance, so I have done the same here.
