Ready to Rock and Roll with a tattoo Artist who inspired Stephytoons to become an artist and musician herself? It's a small world for sure! Meet German Montenegro also known as Kreative Splinterz. Musician and Artist all at once.


German's story: "As remembered through growing up, my dad German told me too many stories to tell and share through my inspirations, I wish I can remember it all but the ones that inspire me the most that never gets old are how he became a musician, and loved music. Through a teacher he said playing Florcorico Music and wanted to learn how to play. My dad says that he learned by ear before even learning chords. He plays almost all genres I'd say, I even thought some oldie music were his because of how he mimics his voice and sounds similar to other singers. Another inspirational story I believe that has stuck around is how he first used a pencil to create Art, Perfably stenciling art using piontalism techniques and shading ; better yet using a guitar string for tattooing. Ooof that must hurt... and you read that right! Its an old method and oh my...how I remember his old tattoo gun made with a pen, a motor, and taped with electrical tape! Growing up watching him record music and create Art, I followed his footsteps and became my own artist/musician. "


When "kreative splinterz" was thought out as a Artist name, both German and Stephanie were toying around with the idea in 2016. I mean just think about it, He plays almost every instrument made of wood to create Beautiful tunes and music. He creates Artwork using wooden pencils as well as wood burning, build little miniatures out of clothing clips, repurposes furniture for bigger projects, and uses needle work! There's gotta be a Splinter somewhere!
