Please help, fedi. I'd like to contact Norman A Hughes, the artist that painted this, or his heirs:
artuk.org/discover/artworks/op…
I want to contact them to discuss licensing that image, but I can't find any trace of him online.
Boosts appreciated.

To move forward with converting the folding bike to electric, I've needed a pair of 20-inch aluminum rims. No one local is selling or giving any away on Craigslist, and i feel bad about the idea of buying a used bike just to take its wheels.
So I've been riding our local river paths for the last couple weeks looking for rims. Today, i finally found a pair that will work.
The River doth provide to those who remain faithful.

First step is to make some #FreeCAD geometry, which I thought would be less fiddly using a script. (It may very well not be, using a Array and Offset Geometry). Script works fine except I can't figure out how to add constraints -- but turns out they are not needed.

In its second decade, cinema struggled to evolve. The first films by the Lumière Brothers and Thomas Edison were short and gimmicky - shots of trains racing towards the screen, couples kissing and cute kittens getting fed. A quick rush. A bit of fun.Guest (Openculture.com)

In parts of Asia, kite fighting is a popular sport, using kites whose kite strings are coated with ground glass so they can sever the strings of rival kites.
Will expert Thai and Afghan kite fighters suddenly be in high demand as a last line of defense against wire-guided killer drones?
LB: Last week, when I was feeling rough, I took myself off to the day bed in our studio to give H a fair chance of getting some sleep. I didn’t take my CPAP with me.
As a result, I had a whole bunch of dreams about not being able to breathe properly. Turns out I really do need my CPAP.

Not to be confused with Doggers who generally hang around truck parks and don't actually have dogs.

in reply to Stewart Russell • • •@scruss It was in very rough shape when I got it. It was missing the lower bearing cup from the head tube. The fork was bent and the threads were stripped. The knob on the nut that holds the two halves together was also missing. So were the handle bars.
I fabricated a new fork for it out of a bmx fork I found by the river and a piece I made on the lathe. I made a new handle for the nut on the lathe.
The reason I want aluminum rims on it is because if I'm going to motorize it, I want to be able to stop reasonably well, which chrome rims just don't do
