Welcome to my website, or at least the one I borrowed from the great people at tripod.lycos.com.  Feel free to kick off your shoes and stay a while.  Watch your P's and Q's, keep your arms and legs in at all times and enjoy the ride.

For those of you who don't know me my name is Jody Livingston and this site is designed mainly for the purpose of displaying my artwork.  Although I may decide to add a few other things such as some video clips, family pictures or anything else I feel like throwing at ya, please enjoy it and feel free to give me any feedback whether positive or negative.
 
As you've probably noticed the site is titled "Nosmel" that is the name I have chosen to use because it's important roll in my personal art history.  It originated from the words "No" and "Smell" because I was born without the sense of smell.  As a graffiti artist the idea was to have a name that nobody else had.  One that represented me to the fullest as well as consisting of letters that were fun to write and easy enough to write fast.  In that case I dropped the last "L" and made it one word "Nosmel". Not to be confused with the other graffiti artist who writes "Nosm"who probably has his reasons for chosing those letters as well.  That name has made it's way onto walls in most every city I've lived in, legally and illegally.  Although I only do legal walls now the name remains the same.  So now that you have a brief history of the sites title I hope you enjoy the artwork.

What's New?

12/12/04  Well schools almost out for now, or for at least three weeks.  I'll have some time to do some artwork that I like.  Just waiting for some pictures to be developed and I will update the pictures on the site. (This could be a while).

12/16/04  Schools out now for a month or so.  I have updated the site by taking out the pen and ink section for a various artwork section.  I'm contemplating posting some pictures of a few of my pieces that made it into the school artshow.  But for now enjoy the updates.  I also removed a few pictures to make room for more pictures on the soon to be El Rico's web site.  If that site doesn't produce many hits than I will remove it to clear up space for more pictures.

04/27/05  Well it's finals week at school and life is still quite hectic to say the least.  I had three pieces in the last art show including lil john piece above.  I sold one and was commissioned to do two others, so all in all it turned out very well.  I closed down the El Ricos site and will continue to focus mainly on my art.

6/24/06 It's been a while since I posted anything to this site so I've updated the a few pictures including the above picture titled nosmel&scion in the city.  I recently had a piece make it into nationals for the Chancellor "Artists of Promise Awards" that included a nice little check for making it through the local competition all the way through regionals to nationals.  One of my art teachers said that CGCC has never had a students artwork make it this far so were all learning as we go.
