Thanks guys, this is helping quite a bit. The intro just has to stay, so I'll try the border idea. It's just such great text, and on the actual falsh movie after the narrator says those lines, Aidan pops in and in a heavy scottish accent says, "Aht's right ya stupid bastard" Hillarious.
Brax - I like both ideas but really have no idea how to implement them

Don't have amazing PS skills so I can't move the ninja who is in just an all together inconvenient place. But having him charging out at you is such a cool concept. I have considered a picture that has his face profile on the far right side. I'll play with that and I'm also playing with the border idea, a bit more work but I think it will indeed work better to make it balanced. You are right, I wanted to avoid covering the sword but I think balance needs to be the primary focus.
Frostillicus - Yes, the poem must stay, but I am also considering putting it in other places on the cabinet. Readability is really what I'm shooting for and since my color printer at home isn't working and I don't have one at work I haven't been able to get an idea what it will look like lighted. I like Chris' idea of doing it white fill with black borders. Also, while the font is cool, it doesn't convey large blocks of text well, I may consider doing a different font. As to how to sharpen the ninja up, I wish I knew how! It is unfortunately a blown up JPEG which I really wanted to avoid. Fortunately the original art is intended to be a watercolorish like fuzzy look anyway, but blowing it up just makes it look a bit too fuzzy. Printed out, in greyscale it doesn't look too pixelated, just undefined. Ideas?
Chris- Good idea, I tried that on it and it looks good.
Here is another (Smaller) ninja who's art seems a bit more condusive to this idea.
