Aloha Tiki Tribe ~
Thanks for all the in-put. I got delayed a bit in the middle of making Frankenstein, and your thoughts helped get me jump-started again.
HB ~ Thanks. 12" x 10" sized prints? That'd be cool. The original paintings are only 14" x 11" (some gallery director told me you always state the vertical dimension first) they would shrink down fine I think. However, I'm still thinking of doing one poster/print of all four in a big square layout. Lesser quality printing so not an expansive giclee, but more affordable. I'm hoping $25 to $50 range, if I can get decent printing at that cost. I might even want to make them look like mock up Aurora model box covers with title text and logos for "ALOHA" models for that poster. What do you think?
teaKEY ~ Big Mahalo for your insight brother. I appreciate your help, and advice. See below for the results.
LLT ~ Oh Ken, I get a boost in my day, every time I get a few words of wisdom from you on this art-bloggy thing. I would sleep on your couch and make art in you kitchen if your wife would let me, just to be around your jedi art master mojo. I'm hoping we can get together when I'm in LA.
I leave the big Island March 3rd. Got's lots of regular-business and such going most the week. Then, on Friday, March 5th the opening night of the group show at La Luz de Jesus gallery, 8PM to 11PM. If you, or anyone in the tiki tribe could make it there, I'd wet my pants in happiness. (Well, my trousers might be damp just from getting in the show anyways)

Now, today's crazy-ness has me driving my three paintings up to the north side to have my printer ( who has been off island on vacation) scan them in, then hauling them to UPS so get them shipped to La Luz ....so they arrive by March 1st!! - this could be cutting it V E R Y close as things are not known as being promptly shipped from the "outer islands" where I am. So... hope this all goes well today and my art actually makes it to the show!
tikiG ~ Big Mahalo! Yes , you have seen them for what they are. The monsters are Aurora box cover art, for monster models that were never created. Like I said, I'm thinking of doing prints of these to look like box art. Make up an "ALOHA" logo, (instead of Aurora), put on the model name "The KREATURE from KONA" in funky type. Could be fun, what do you think?
Here's the lateset...

Frankenstein had no legs...

So, had to paint out the old ones, make a little room and rough in the new feet.
Better?

Big Mahalo!
Now, the drive up north...
