Women that Rock by Bonnie Blue The car is covered on all sides by large Styrofoam ‘Women That Rock,’ six in total. “I created it as a gallery to show my art and take it on the road and to bring honor to women everywhere I go.” Every two years Bonnie changes the faces. Through the years 36 different women have rocked the car including such celebrities as Lucille Ball, Vivian Vance (Ethyl Mertz), Dolly Parton, and Marilyn Monroe.

As Bonnie Blue’s Women That Rock business began to take off she started to expand into other mediums. “I started painting women’s faces on shoes, purses, boots, etc., and began selling those too.” In 2006 a new idea hit me. Instead of the crazy caricatures that had been my stock in trade, what if I began to paint actual people, real human beings, men, women, pets, kids on the rocks? This proved to be a tough sell and was slow going in the beginning. In an effort to spark her business Bonnie Blue painted a few caricatures of famous celebrities which she then sent to them. Mostly she got little to no response back. That is until April 17, 2007 when Ellen Degeneres showed her Rockin’ Caricature on the air. That little bit of publicity was just what it took to jump start her caricature business. “So many people saw that” says Bonnie Blue. Now days I am kept quite busy doing Rockin’ Caricatures at parties, and shows.” It’s the bulk of her business. She has painted over 8,000 real faces on rocks. In a twist of fate, now celebrities are coming to her. She has been honored to be asked to paint such celebrities as Bill Murray, Congressman Sheila Jackson Lee and Houston Mayor Annise Parker.
