Rock Demarco
Orlando-based artist Rock Demarco’s claim to fame is that he can paint anything in less than 10 minutes. Performing to a rock 'n' roll soundtrack, Demarco can speed-paint portraits of celebrities, C.E.O.s, and other notable figures on canvas for a fee that ranges from $6,000 to $10,000. His latest live-performance element: wearing a glove equipped with five finger-like paintbrushes that shoot lasers as he works.

A quartet played vintage ‘40s tunes.
