About Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy
In just ten years, Bang Bang has gone from tattooing bikers on the outskirts of a Delaware trailer park to inking celebrities including Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Rita Ora and Adele. McCurdy has a tradition of letting these celebrities ink him back – a cartoon mouse from Justin Bieber, a peppermint from Katy Perry, an umbrella from Rihanna and a crescent moon from Miley Cyrus. In late 2014, Bang Bang opened his eponymous flagship store in New York City’s Lower East Side. Unlike most tattoo shops, Bang Bang (the shop) is run with the same philosophy fine restaurants employ—service first, service last. Looking ahead, Harper Collins is publishing McCurdy’s first book, Bang Bang: My Life in Ink, and there’s a product line in the works.

You love your grandma, but chances are you don’t love her sense of interior design. Needlepoint isn’t really your thing, and why would anyone need to have a full set of china in the year 2017? However, there’s something about that wedding-registry industrial complex that tends to make many people think that they still must, in fact, acquire a full set of floral-appointed place settings at some point in their lives. (Hey, you may have never drunk tea out of a teacup in your entire adult life, but if Kate Middleton ever comes over you’ll need all 12 of those teacups and matching saucers to throw the right kind of party.)
Many of the chinaware products available today are beautiful, with an undeniably classic aesthetic. Alessandro Michele may have made Richard Ginori 1735 the hottest thing out of the kiln lately, but that’s no need to forsake the other greats. Lately it seems that for those obsessed with blue-and-white (and the hashtag, #blueandwhiteforever), the go-to brands are Royal Copenhagen and Herend. However, the history of this color scheme within the world of earthenware extends beyond these brands, the town of Delft, and China’s own rich, pioneering decorative-arts history. In 1759, Josiah Wedgwood founded his Wedgwood porcelain company in England. Almost 260 years later, Wedgwood is one of the oldest British pottery companies still in existence. It is arguably also the best known, while Josiah is called by some the “Father of English Potters.” But why exactly should you care? Despite the fact that the company’s signature pale blue-and-white cameo-appointed designs may indeed be on your grandma’s shelf, its recent out-of-date rap seems a little unfair.
An upcoming book,
out next month from Rizzoli, examines the history of the company.
Written by Gaye Blake-Roberts, the book is filled with dynamic images
that show beautiful ceramics, as well as the process that goes into each
and every piece. Sketchbooks filled with historical designs lie wide
open, while small cameos are arranged half-painted. But besides
Wedgwood’s rich history, the point that the book perhaps best conveys is
the wonderfully sculptured nature of each piece. Surfaces are not
merely painted but often alive with 3D motifs. The figures depicted
appear ready to jump off the bowl, page, or even out of your computer
screen. Above, a look inside the book.
Wedgwood: A Story of Creation and Innovation (Rizzoli), by Gaye Blake-Roberts, will be published October 3, 2017.
Waterford Wedgwood, the 250-year-old maker of luxury glassware and china, fell in administration today, putting 2,700 jobs in the UK and Ireland at risk.
The loss-making company, whose brands include Waterford crystal, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton fine bone china, Rosenthal porcelain and Spring premium cookware, ran out of time in its attempt to raise fresh capital.
Politicians on both sides of the Irish Sea warned that the collapse of the company had severe implications for communities where china and glass have been manufactured for generations. The mayor of Waterford said it would be a "national disaster" for Ireland if production at the crystal factory ceased.
It is also a heavy blow to Sir Anthony O'Reilly, who chairs the company. The billionaire media tycoon and his brother-in-law Peter Goulandris have pumped about €400m (£375m) into Waterford Wedgwood in recent years, and own 60% of the company's shares.
Deloitte has taken control of Waterford Wedgwood's British and Irish operations. Joint administrator Angus Martin said that several potential buyers had already contacted Deloitte. "These are classic, high-quality, world-recognised brands," he said. "There is potentially a good business here."
Waterford Wedgwood has suffered from falling demand for its high-quality crystal, china and other tableware, and has recorded a loss for the last five years. It was forced to call in the administrators after its lenders, led by Bank of America, refused to postpone its interest payments for a fourth time. They had repeatedly given the company extra time to arrange new funding, and agreed to defer loan payments until 2 January.
A US private equity firm had been considering taking a controlling stake and providing $280m of new capital, and sources close to the company believe a deal could still be hammered out.
Shares in Waterford Wedgwood, which were suspended on the Dublin market today, had already fallen to €0.001.
O'Reilly, who with Goulandris injected €60m into the company three months ago, thanked the company's suppliers, employees and customers and the British and Irish governments for their help. "We are consoled only by the fact that everything that could have been done, by management and by the board, to preserve the group, was done," he said.
Waterford Wedgwood employs some 1,900 people in the UK, many of whom work at its Barlaston pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, and a further 800 in Ireland. It runs 19 stores in the UK and 120 retail concessions within larger stores, and has almost 600 outlets worldwide.
Mark Meredith, the mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, said it was "a sad day" for the ceramics industry in the Potteries. He urged potential buyers to keep production in the area rather than move it overseas.
Thousands of Waterford Wedgwood jobs have already been lost in the UK and Ireland, as the company attempted to cut costs by closing some sites and moving production to eastern Europe and Indonesia. It has also tried to appeal to a younger audience with partnerships with celebrities, including chef Gordon Ramsay.
Josiah Wedgwood, known as "the father of English potters", founded the company in 1759. In 1986 it merged with Waterford, which was set up in 1783 by two brothers, William and George Penrose. O'Reilly has been credited with keeping Waterford Crystal alive in Ireland, and Waterford's mayor, Jack Walsh, warned that the country's tourism industry would suffer if it ceased to exist.
"Waterford Crystal is one of only a handful of iconic Irish brands and the gallery and the visitor centre at Kilbarry is among the most popular visitor attractions in the country," he said. "It is of major strategic importance that this company not be allowed slip in to oblivion."
Walsh called on the Irish state to help shore up the company and the brand. Ireland's main opposition party also called on the government to help find a buyer. "The preservation of the Waterford Crystal factory in the city is something the Ggovernment needs to take seriously as it has represented an integral part of Waterford and its people for generations," said John Deasy, Fine Gael TD for Waterford.
Unite, the trade union that represents workers at the Waterford plant, described the announcement as "devastating". Following After a meeting with the management at the plant this morning, Jimmy Kelly, Unite's regional general secretary for south-east Ireland, said Unite officials had been assured the company will be maintained as a going concern for as long as possible.
"The union will work closely with any prospective purchasers of the business so as to ensure we save the maximum number of quality jobs," he said.
"The workers who built the brand have always worked alongside management to find solutions that would protect the long-term future of the company. Unite will fully support them in liaising with local and national politicians to save the plant and the brand. It is too important to the workers and their families, to the city of Waterford and to the nation as a whole to let it disappear."
On October 7, 1806, carbon paper was patented by Ralph Wedgewood. According to TopTenZ, carbon paper and 9 other things, have been rendered obsolete by today’s technology.
From Wiki: Ralph Wedgwood (1766–1837) was an English inventor and member of the Wedgwood family of potters. His most notable invention was the earliest form of carbon paper, a method of creating duplicate paper documents, which he called “stylographic writer” or Noctograph.
The tattoo above represents a 60 carbon molecule “buckyball” unfolded. Says the tattooee . . .
I didn’t want to choose an ordinary representation of carbon for my…uh…lifetime ink commitment. Behold the carbon 60 molecule, which just happens to fit my idea and look ridiculously cool, especially when “unfolded.” I initially wanted the design to be small and discreet, but my tattoo artist thought it was such a cool design that he insisted I get it bigger. I’m happy I took his advice.
Others have opted for the symbol for the element Carbon . . .
and for a stylized representation of a carbon atom.
