ABOUT JASON "TIKI" TACKETT

Jason "Tiki" Tackett is a digital illustrator and artist from Willoughby, Ohio who is now based in Central Florida. He graduated from Valencia College with his A.S. Graphic and Interactive Design Degree in 2025, but has experience with graphic design going back to his work as a contributing artist on Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom MMOG in 2005. His other Disney credits include serving as a featured artist with the official Disney Parks Blog and the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. His non-Disney credits include contributions to the Pavilion Futures exhibit at the Queens Museum and social awareness artwork for New York State Pavilion Paint Project in New York, and theatrical posters for Brief Cameo Productions in Connecticut.

Jason is a 30-year Disney Cast Member whose career spans roles with the Disney Store in his hometown to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida with a few creative stops in there for good measure. His nickname was given to him by one of his Leaders during the early days of his career when he served as an overenthusiastic attraction host at Walt Disney World's version of the Enchanted Tiki Room (then called "Tropical Serenade"). His time working at the classic Disney theme park attraction spawned his love of all things "Polynesian pop". When he's not working, he can be found sitting in on a show at his beloved Enchanted Tiki Room at Walt Disney World or enjoying a classic cocktail and the Polynesian islander revue at the world-famous Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale.

His interests include unique architecture, theme park design, the New York World's Fair, anything midcentury modern, and Polynesian pop culture. His artistic idols include Mary Blair, Jerrod Maruyama, Scooter, and Jason Ratner among others. His favorite architects include Michael Graves, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Philip Johnson. These interests are reflected in the subjects and style of his artwork.
