About Jazzy

“Jazzy” Jazelle Molina is a bold and brutally honest artist who only knows how to speak her mind. Social convention was always confusing to her…

Living in New Mexico’s fictional town of Borland, a neighborhood of Albuquerque, NM, Jazzy works a crap taqueria job (good tips) so she can get the fuck out of there every now and then.

It’s often here where she encounters a myriad of annoyances, from the jackass Jako (really Jack) who owns the “taqueria,” to her obnoxious customers, and idiot coworker, Paulie.

Ever armed with her razor-sharp tongue, it’s often all she has against a world against her.

Despite her generally cynical outlook, she strives for high ideals and seeks truth.

Jazzy finds her solace in her friends, her drawing, and rock n roll. Cigarettes and drugs don’t hurt either.

Favorite bands of hers include Green Day, The Grateful Dead, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joan Baez, Selena, Bob Dylan, The Cranberries, The Beatles, Santana, Metallica, Gorillaz, L7, The Rolling Stones, Ice Cube, DMX, and Jennifer Lopez.
