Bernie Wrightson is awesome! I want a copy of his Frankenstein, the Mary Shelley one that he illustrated, but I've only found those for about $200+

Whoa!(Keanu Reeves style) You're joking? The Marvel paperback one? Pretty sure I've still got mine kicking around somewhere - one of handful/boxful of things I kept after quitting collecting in the late 80s.

I can definitely see the comics (and horror) influence in your work TSA, it's one of the reasons I dig it so much. I've said this a couple of times already, but this one is gonna be the best so far, even though you haven't even painted it yet! Having the wahine as a major focus along with the tiki (and with the tiki itself being much more dominant than in the others), bumatay fish-face tikis and mugs, shell lamp, skulls, a starfish with an eye, strange pagan firelit rituals...it's got it all! The composition on this one really stands apart. Bring it on!
