A seed pod made with a jabara pattern.
Dipped in turmeric tea with turmeric powder, I added polka dots in the style of Yayoi Kusama and dipped the whole thing in wax. The wax gave it a leather feel which was pliable and made it gourd-like.

When asked about the missing Turtle siblings plot line that had originally been planned for season 3 of Rise it was stated that one of the Turtles missing siblings would have been trapped in another dimension for years while the other would have been Big Mama's Assistant.
Tumblr media
While we don't know much about the other missing Turtle sibling the Rise team did tell us that they had been planning to name the two missing Turtle after artists similarly to how the Turtles were named after Renaissance artists & that Big Mama's Assistant could have possibly been named after the painter Frida Kahlo with Frida being the name that was considered for Big Mama's Assistant.
Tumblr media
This wouldn't have been the first time a character has been named Frida however as back in 2017 Nickelodeon released a short called 'Teenage Mecha Ninja Turtles' which follows a future version of Mikey’s students who fight crime in Turtle mechs with each one of Master Michelangelo’s students are named after different artists.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are some similarities between Rise & the Teenage Mecha Ninja Turtles as Frida 'the red Turtle’ is the leader of the team similarly to how Raph was the leader of the team for most of Rise.
Tumblr media
Due to how Rise & the Teenage Mecha Ninja Turtles both had 'the red Turtle' as the leader & how they both would have possibly had a character named Frida, part of me wonders if Frida being a possible name for Big Mama's Assistant was possibly inspired by the Teenage Mecha Ninja Turtles & if the other missing Turtle sibling could have possibly be named Kusama after Yayoi Kusama similarly to Frida's team mate from the short.
Tumblr media
Considering that we only know a few things about the missing Turtle siblings that the Rise team have told us & we only have the brief appearance of the extra mutation chambers in the episode 'The Evil League of Mutants' as well as Big Mama's Assistant's appearances we can only really speculate about what they would have been like but it is fun to wonder about them.

The World of Sayuri: A Palace of Humility
Tumblr media
Palace Ruler: Humilitas Kitagawa
Yusuke’s palace is a fledged out world of the Sayuri painting made up of colorful buildings and flowing landscapes. Everything is a perfect still, a perfect piece of inspiration for an artist’s landscape painting. Simultaneously made of real, or more accurately realistic seeming objects, and of careful brush strokes. A world that is never static and constantly reconfiguring itself to suit and inspire every single cognition housed within it. The palace was made as a hub of artistic expression with Yusuke encouraging his constituents to work on different pieces of art year round to be presented at the large and ornate Arts Festival where the pieces can be critiqued by other artists. This event is how the palace citizens negotiate their social standing, by 1. Creating iconic, masterful and deeply meaningful pieces of art or 2. Becoming the great critiques of art and helping to elevate the vision of other artists through meaningful advice and critique. The main goal of the festival as stated by Yusuke himself is to celebrate different forms of art and help the artists improve so that they can make better and better pieces.
Unfortunately for Yusuke his palace plans didn’t go as planned, a small group of the artists grew sharper tongues and their critiques became malicious. Rather than appreciating the pieces and looking at the ways the artist has either failed to fully portray their ideas or ways to improve their technique. This new group of artists began to champion Yusuke’s art as the best and deviation from his style and technique was seen as bad form. Their structured mindset became popular and started to spread among the other cognitions and Yusuke responded by sectioning off his palace into different tiers. This causes Yusuke to go from a passionate mentor of his subjects to a lackadaisical artist who only appears during the Arts Festival. To enter the deeper areas of the palace a test was set up where a painting by Yusuke would be presented and the person or people viewing the work would be tasked with critiquing the piece. Those who made critiques that furthered and met Yusuke’s goal for his palace would be allowed to go further. There were three palace segments and of course this means there are subsequently three tests.
The first test presents a painting titled “Of Sun and Wine” which depicts Yusuke drinking wine from Dionysus’ hands and basking in the light of Apollo’s sun. The second test presents a painting titled “Rebirth” which depicts the Shibuya Teikyu Building Accessway with warm sunlight shining through the accessway windows, a black cat with a yellow collar and blue eyes laying on the floor sleeping and absent of people and vehicles. The third and final test presents a painting titled “IS DESTINY MADNESS” which depicts Yusuke and Madarame’s face melding together with Yusuke’s face contorted into a terrified expression and Madarame’s smiling maniacally with sweat dripping from his forehead.
The first test has been passed by a majority of the palace goers, the second test has been passed by a minority of the palace goers and no one has been able to pass through the third test. The test presents the Infiltrators with a variety of ways to explore further into the palace depths. It is possible to get through the palace by never participating in the test instead fighting their way through the guards. However this will prevent them from gaining access to equipment that will let them enter rooms that give access to Yusuke’s will seeds. The rooms are themed around the artists: Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami and Chiharu Shiota.
Within Yusuke’s palace his treasure takes the form of an ornate paint brush hidden under the floorboards of his private painting room. When the Infiltrators arrive to steal the treasure the roof of the room opens and Yusuke snatches the brush away from them, the walls falling to open into a battlefield. The brush grows in size becoming the length of a spear and Yusuke unveils his persona, St Francis of Assisi.
Finally Yusuke himself appears in the palace reclining on floating clouds wearing a painted obi and an elongated Yukata that trains behind him. He wears his hair up with a topper to accentuate the hairstyle and a bit of hair covering one eye. Additionally he wears a face of makeup inspired by traditional Japanese makeup.

your post inspired me so here's who I think certain saw characters favorite artists would be with no explanation at all:
hoffman: george bellows
amanda: paul cezanne
john: osman hamdi bey
lawrence: allan kaprow
adam: marta minujin
lynn: doris salcedo
strahm: caravaggio
oh i like this!! i want to add some:
the eerie quality of henri de toulouse-lautrec's work (at least imo) feels like it'd be appealing to hoffman. along the same vein, i'd say edvard munch too. ALSO FRANCISCO GOYA. im surprised he wasn’t also painting fucked up shit on his own walls.
amanda would love louise bourgeois, ana mendieta, joan mitchell, and eva hesse. i feel like she'd also be really into fiber arts in general (tamara kostianovsky, kiki smith, raija jokinen). also we know she likes some renaissance/stylistically classical art bc she has the birth of venus print next to her bed in saw 3! i think this is more for gay reasons but i bet she'd like john william waterhouse’s mythological paintings.
i love this one for john! the obvious one for him would be da vinci as well- john's drawings actually remind me a lot of his. i think he wouldn't be into abstraction because “it lacks intellect” or some shit. probably dark, dramatic, pensive baroque art.
i feel like lawrence would be into impressionism but NOT post impressionism!!! he'd be so annoying about it. monet, degas, cassat, etc. i also think he'd enjoy botanical illustrations. probably a fan of edward hopper too.
adam would like jc leyendecker. just based on vibes. others i think he'd enjoy include john singer sargent, norman lewis, lee krasner, yoshitaka amano, salman toor, yayoi kusama... these are all over the place uhhhh i just think he'd enjoy a wide range of styles. now ofc he has favorite photographers, but that is not at all my area of study and the only one i could think of off the top of my head that would fit him is robert mapplethorpe.
for lynn, andrew wyeth makes sense to me- the lonely, empty, desolate feeling his paintings give you would probably speak to her :( agnes martin (ESPECIALLY agnes martin) and louise nevelson would probably appeal to her too.
strahm liking caravaggio is basically canon to me. like of fucking course. for one, he'd just loooove telling people that the Old Master painters are the finest of fine artists just bc he's a dick (and doesn't know shit about art made after like the 18th century). but also caravaggio was gay and killed someone and was murdered so. it fits. he'd probably scoff at rene magritte paintings but deep down he'd really enjoy them.
im obsessed with this ask and i've been drafting this response for a hot minute bc i wanted to put some real thought into it. VERY fun and a great way to procrastinate on work as an art history grad student

Yayoi Kusama and her obsession with flowers.
"Yayoi Kusama was born in 1929 in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture to a well-established conservative family that owned a seed nursery business. She spent her childhood surrounded by her family’s seed harvesting grounds. As a little girl, she often went out into the flower fields with her sketchbooks, developing her passion for drawing. For the artist, plants have been both beloved subjects and frightening figures, instilling fear through hallucinations and reflecting her state of mind."
https://www.guyhepner.com/yayoi-kusama-fruits-and-flowers/
"Flowers seemed to help her colourful and powerful imagination come to life but also relate to the darkness in her mental health. She states that painting and art became her rebellion.
A hallucination from her childhood inspired one of her most famous interactive installations held in Melbourne's NGV Triennial Gallery. She stated, “One day, after gazing at a pattern of red flowers on the tablecloth, I looked up to see that the ceiling, the windows, and the columns seemed to be plastered with the same red floral pattern,” Kusama explains in a press release for the triennial. “I saw the entire room, my entire body, and the entire universe covered with red flowers, and in that instant my soul was obliterated … This was not an illusion but reality itself.” The exhibition was named ‘Flower Obsession’ in 2017 which all of us Aperçu readers can really appreciate. The visitors were given Gerbera inspired stickers and were asked to stick them anywhere in the space they felt inclined. She wanted the people to obliterate the room themselves. The space in the beginning was supposed to represent a large apartment. The end products are explosive and cinematic."
