Walking on the Wild Side with Rock Demarco

I’m really into interesting people! And I meet some REAL CHARACTERS in my line of work (events, image building,philanthropy).  So much so, that in 2014 I started hosting a quarterly luncheon called:  Just Ten Interesting People Having Lunch so that these characters could connect. Fun! It’s a potpourri of cool-ness from celebrities, politicians, artists, business elite, philanthropists and other RCPs (random cool people).  I’m excited to share some of their stories here, on the Orlando News Room – A BLOG about interesting people and exciting places in Central Florida.

A character, by any definition! Performance artist and speed painter, Rock Demarco takes his audience on a wild ride of imagination by challenging them to look at the world through a different window. Rock has performed thousands of his signature rock n roll live painting shows around the globe. Life in the fast lane for Rock horsing around with celebs and selling artwork at $100K+ per piece. Rock’s work can be found on display in many corporate headquarters, airport installations, and private collections of professional ball players, musicians and movie stars. Rock has performed for live audiences as large as 200,000 fans – from the Super Bowl half-time show to Good Morning America.

Rock is also founder of a unique nonprofit organization called Paint Like a Rock Star where he is helping children in hospitals to create, explore and dream through art. I ask all my interesting friends the following questions about what makes Orlando such a magical place to live.


1. What is the most exciting part of living in Orlando? As Orlando continues to grow it’s interesting to watch old neighborhoods also grow. Winter Park, College Park, Thornton Park with their own unique shops and restaurants. Reminds me of living up in the Northeast.

2. Who is the most interesting person you’ve met in Orlando?  Bryce West philanthropist/humanitarian/world traveler/ and all around nice guy.

3. In your field of work, what is the next BIG thing?  There is always that next live concert, gala or sporting event that I am rehearsing to perform.

4. Plan the perfect Central Florida Sunday, for someone new to Orlando.
People immediately think theme parks when visiting Orlando. Try lunch on Park Ave in Winter Park followed by the boat tour of the scenic chain of lakes.
