Master Splinter - In the original comics, Splinter was the pet rat of a ninja named Hamato Yoshi in Japan. Intelligent for his species, Splinter was able to learn his master's art by mimicking his movements while he practiced.
Yoshi became embroiled in a dispute with a fellow ninja by the name of Oroku Nagi and was eventually murdered.
Years later Oroku Saki, the brother of the man he had killed came to the city to start and founded a branch of the Foot Clan and in his new disguise, the Shredder tracked down and killed both Yoshi and Shen (wife) in cold blood.
Additionally in the 1990 film, Splinter escapes from his cage during the murder, and attacked Saki, clawing at his face, while Saki sliced his ear off. It is suggested this mutilation is the reason Saki took the Shredder disguise to hide the scars.
Without a home, Splinter was forced to run away and live in the New York City sewers.
Due to a traffic accident, four baby turtles and a canister of radioactive ooze were sent down into the sewer, where the ooze mutated both Splinter and the turtles.
He awoke the next morning to the see that both he and the turtles had doubled in size, all of them were also growing intellect soon learning to walk upright. The turtles followed him everywhere except to the surface but one day he received a shock, one of the turtles spoke the word "Splinter" and in doing so named him. In turn, out of battered renaissance art book he found in a storm drain, Master Splinter gave them the names Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael.
He decided to train the turtles in the art of Ninjitsu with the intention of one day charging them with the mission to avenge his master's death.
When the turtles were old enough Splinter told his sons of his master Yoshi and of their true origin. Now that he was old and believed not long for the world he asked that the turtles track down and kill the Shredder.

Photography is a system of visual editing. At bottom, it is a matter of surrounding with a frame a portion of one’s cone of vision, while standing in the right place at the right time. Like chess, or writing, it is a matter of choosing from among given possibilities, but in the case of photography the number of possibilities is not finite but infinite.

Hamato was given the nickname "Splinter" by his students, due to his proficiency at breaking wooden boards. On one occasion Donatello was able to use the remnants of the ooze that transformed them to restore Yoshi's human self, but the process was only temporary and soon wore off; however, Splinter, having seen how humans could treat each other at times, concluded that he preferred his new state, particularly due to the relationship he had with his students. Master Splinter doesn't hold a father/son relationship with the turtles, as the Mirage Studios, Movie, and 2k3 stories suggested, but more of a teacher/student bond. This version of Splinter never calls the turtles "my sons" and the turtles never call him father. In fact in Turtles Forever the old toon turtles are surprised when the 4kids turtles call Splinter father. However, in an episode called The Old Switcheroo, Splinter showed a glimpse of fatherly concern for Leonardo when he's slightly injured by one of Donatello's contraptions. Splinter also mentions in the series (episode; Snakes Alive!) that Leonardo is his most gifted student. Master Splinter even gets the chance to be human once more in an episode Splinter No More, but realizes he much more prefers being with the turtles. Master Splinter is always there for the turtles to give a wise/ungrasping quote or speech to try to ease the turtles' troubles. He'll also show a little ninja action just in the nick of time when it seems the turtles are in for impending doom that is inescapable.
Ducks in the cove don't mind the cold, or at least, they don't complain to me. Every time I see them, I think about the notion of being placid on the surface, paddling like mad underneath. There's no purer metaphor for my lifelong state of mind. Way too much has always been happening in my head. That might seem beneficial for someone like me with a creative career, and it certainly does keep me from running short on thoughts. But the buzz carries on beyond the hour a day I actually spend writing. When I was young, I remember seeing an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". In it, an android called Data gets romantically involved with a human character, despite the fact that he has no emotions. After they kiss, she asks him: "What were you just thinking?" He describes a whole litany of things on his mind, only one of which was her. That sense of splintered focus has always been familiar to me. Not a wandering mind – more like being fully present in multiple thoughts at once. I can't get anything done, or think anything through, unless I'm multi-tasking.

After to shots of Demerol and 3 shots Lidacain in the foot, the doctor grabbed my foot and yanked this piece of wood out. It's 4" long, and half of it was in my foot.

Freehanded from the masking diagrams in the instructions. I used 6mm Tamiya tape fot the fiddlier edges, and various panels and details as reference points.
