A printmaker returns to his Missouri roots, and the Kansas House passes a redisctricting plan for the Senate.  It’s a daily digest of headlines from KCUR.

Printmaker Returns To Missouri Roots

Artist Tom Huck’s work has drawn comparisons to the detail of 15th-century German printmaker Albrecht Durer and the dark humor of comic book artist Robert Crumb. In a new series of linoleum prints, Huck returns to the subject of his rural Missouri roots.  Read more and see some of the artwork here.

Kansas House Passes Redistricting

The Kansas House has passed a map redrawing districts for the state’s 40 senators. The House broke with tradition when it rejected a map the Senate drew. Generally, chambers draw maps for their own districts without input from the other chamber.   Find out more here.
