Muralist Matt Willey and his project, “The Good of the Hive”

• A Hit Man Came to Kill Susan Kuhnhausen. She Survived. He Didn’t. This is an incredible story. I feel obliged to point out, though, that there are some graphic pictures: photos of Kuhnhausen’s bruised and bloody face (one at the top of the article) and another of blood on the floors and walls of the house. But it is very much worth the read.
