Tiki Diablo was the company of Danny Gallardo (June 14th, 1971 - February 5th, 2026), an artist and carver who was based out of the Los Angeles, California area.
Beginning @2001 as one of the first to pick up the chisel and resurrect the forgotten art form of sculpting Tikis, Daniel “Tiki Diablo” Gallardo was at the very forefront of the Tiki revival. His work is equally rooted in ancient tradition as it is in modern stylization. From large Tiki statues to ceramic cocktail mugs to complete Tiki bar interiors, Tiki Diablo’s art graces tropical hideaways from Palm Springs to Barcelona and Berlin. His intricate Tiki carvings can be found in theme parks, drive-in theaters and home Tiki bars.
