Last Thursday in the windy city, I grabbed my Deserted Snake Backpack and went to the Art Institute of Chicago, which was having a special exhibition on pop artist Roy Lichtenstein.  A Retrospective had over 170 of Lichtenstein’s pieces, ranging from his signature style to never-before-seen works.  My favorites included his paintings that resemble women in romance comic strips.  His bright colors totally reminded me of the Vans Pop Authentics (which are equal parts awesome and colorful). -alyson
