David Hettel, a local Ormond Beach artist and surfer, has accepted a commission to create a Polynesian mural at the Blowfish Bar. Dave has been busy lately at nearby Palm Coast, but found a gap in his schedule to begin applying the paint base (completed mural will extend down to just below stairway handrail)...

How long this takes will undoubtedly depend on the local surf conditions, and things don’t look favorable for the Blowfish Bar... a storm is brewing right now out in the Atlantic and forecast to possibly be a hurricane just offshore by this time next week. That means great surf conditions, and probably an AWOL artist. Dave’s business name is Primal Colors and here’s his web site...

There are several new additions to the Blowfish Bar. The first of a pair of awesome Cannibal Trio Lamps by Tiki 65 (Chris) arrived...

Chris shows the various stages of lamp assembly at his web site...

Lush (pardon the pun, Marty) music is now playing at the Blowfish Bar since the arrival of The Tikiyaki Orchestra’s Deluxe Getaway Package... Jim Bacchi and fellow orchestra members have set a new high mark for contemporary tiki music with “Aloha, Baby!”

Included in the Tikiyaki Polynesian Village Hotel Deluxe Getaway Package was an “Official Souvenir Shop Certified Genuine Polynesian Style Hand Crafted Tiki Mug from Hawai’i” by Bosko...

The small print on the mug box stated the qualifier “may or may not be made in Hawai’i.”
