If an artist were to decide that one’s artistic focus would mix aspects of Disneyworld with portraiture, what type of medium would be an obvious choice? Why, latch-hook rugs, of course. At least, that is the route taken by Rob Conger. And, it just so happens that the areas of Disneyland depicted by Conger’s artistry are those where fatalities occurred. The portraits range from that of the world’s strongest woman to a variety of faces from the world of business. Not your typical latch-hook scenes of red barns and fluffy kittens.
