A popular American 'Pop Artist' Roy Fox Lichtenstein or Roy Lichtenstein (October 27, 1923 - September 29, 1997) was born in New York City in an upper middle class family. He went to public school until he was 12. Lichtenstein had a diverse career as a teacher, an artist, along with being an innovator. Although he was trained in both drawing and painting, a significant influence on his work was of comic books, cartoons, and popular advertising, basically the creative things that people did not regard as 'serious' art. Lichtenstein called his 'Pop Art' as, "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting." Lichtenstein's early interest in art and design was more of a hobby. He was a jazz fan and would frequently make the portraits of musicians playing instruments. Following his graduation from school, Lichtenstein took summer classes in the Art Students League of New York. Later he joined the Ohio State University for studying Fine Arts, but could not complete his study on the account of a three-year (1943-46) spell in the army during and post World War II. His work during the early 1950s alternated between 'Expressionism' and 'Cubism.' Towards the late 1950s, Roy took to 'Abstract Expressionism.' Roy's most famous and well-known creation is undoubtedly "Whaam!" (1963).
The inspiration behind "Whaam!" was a comic-book picture from 'All American Men of War,' published in 1962 by DC comics. The painting shows a rocket being fired by a fighter plane towards an enemy plane, along with a red-yellow explosion. To add interest, the painting has the onomatopoeic words "Whaam!" on it, along with the caption saying, "I pressed the fire control... and ahead of me rockets blazed through the sky..." "Whaam!," a diptych, is a big painting, measuring 1.7 x 4.0 m (5 ft 7 in x 13 ft 4 in) and is presently displayed at Tate Modern in London, England.
Lichtenstein had the unique ability to create an extremely personalized painting from an already existing cartoon or advertisement. He had the knack of adapting & working upon original pictures and presenting intense emotional situations & scenes, quite impersonally, leaving the interpretation of the subject to the viewer. He therefore presented well-known pictures in a completely new light, capturing the world's imagination. Apart from paintings, Lichtenstein also created sculptures in plastic & metal and a lot of screen-printing as well. Although a majority of his most famous creations is quite close to, although not strictly, the copies of panels from comic books, Lichtenstein broadly stopped working on this subject in 1965. But not before he had created amazing paintings depicting 'Pop Art' and his most famed creation, "Whaam!"

The city centre, with its large pedestrian areas, mix of quirky, independent shops, open-air market and spacious modern shopping malls make Norwich a unique shopping destination and it has recently been voted as one of Britains top 5 places to shop. Away from the city, market towns and villages provide the ideal opportunity to browse the range of individual shops in a relaxed, but vibrant atmosphere.
The many market towns around the city offer a wealth of shops with individual character and style.

Meanwhile, head out to Wroxham on the Broads and discover Roys, the world's largest village store.
Norwich also boasts the country's largest open-air market. Recently refurbished, the colourful stalls offer a vast selection of goods. The market is a great place to grab a snack while you browse around soaking up the atmosphere, you can also snap up a bargain.
The medieval alleys and winding back streets in the heart of the city form the Norwich Lanes. Lined with a fascinating range of specialist shops, The Lanes are a must for those looking for an original gift or that something extra special. Designer clothing, books, antiques and even teddy bears are among the many found here. Nearby, The Royal Arcade is home to delightful small shops, including the famous Colman's Mustard Shop and Museum.
High street names and large department stores are well represented in the central area and the city's two major shopping centres, the award-winning Castle Mall and the Chapelfield shopping centre.

Anyone returned an ebay brought item to the original shop?
Hello, i have purchased a item from ebay that is brand new with tags in new condition and im tempted to return it to the original shop and see if they might give me a refund in terms of a voucher.... I dont like my item and the seller wont accept a return. Cheeky to do, but have you done this?
I never have, but it's worth a shot. As long as it is still in new condition with tags I don't see why not. You might not get a refund but possibly a store credit. Good luck!
