A crowd gathered last evening at Howl! Happening for the opening of "Arturo Vega: the merch master," a new exhibit exploring the work and legacy of the Ramones' longtime visual architect.
Many familiar faces were taking in the show, including Dany Johnson and Scooter LaForge...
The show focuses on Vega's role in shaping the band's identity — from the now-iconic logo to a wide range of merchandise drawn from his personal archive.
Vega, who died in 2013, lived nearby on Second Street for years.
The exhibit runs through May 24 at Howl! Happening, 6 E. First St. Hours: Wednesday-Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.

And no, these items are not for sale... but you can buy two Vega T-shirts.
Today (April 11) at 5 p.m., Sandra Schulman gives a talk about Vega and the "logo heard around the world."
