“It’s colorful, it’s refreshing, it’s something a little bit different for Cayman. We hope people will like it,” said Mr. Kennedy, who spent around 12 hours on a hydraulic lift painting the enormous piece of street art. The talented artist has transformed the blank canvas of the whitewashed walls of the waterfront bar into a vibrant mural that is turning heads in George Town.

The mural shows a cartoon blue iguana wearing a felt hat and heart-shaped sunglasses as he beats out a rhythm on a pair of drums.

It’s the first time Mr. Kennedy has ever produced anything on this scale. Normally he paints on 5 foot by 4 foot canvas. Bringing his unique style to a larger backdrop was not without challenges. “The biggest obstacles were the windows and doors. We had to try to find a way of incorporating them into the design,” he said. “It’s physically demanding too. Both my shoulders are still sore and my legs are sore from balancing on the lift. I had to keep jumping off to make sure I got the perspective right."
