A British street artist just gave HuffPost a helping hand in unveiling its new logo .

Jody Thomas celebrated the HuffPost rebrand launch on Tuesday by incorporating the new emblem into one of his pieces in Bristol, southwest England.

He spent hours meticulously spray-painting one of his signature, photo-realistic hands onto a wall in the Bedminster neighborhood and finished it off with a stencil of HuffPosts logo.

We captured the entire mesmerizing process in the above time-lapse video and live-streamed the final 20 minutes of the project via Facebook :

The 43-year-old artist braved varying chilly weather conditions of sunshine, wind and rain to complete his work. But he said, I really enjoyed the whole day.

The Facebook broadcast was delayed for 20 minutes as heavy showers struck the area. Luckily it cleared up soon after, giving the wall sufficient time to dry and Thomas enough of a gap to finish the final 10 percent of the piece.

In good old British fashion, we were almost scuppered by the weather, joked the Bristol-based artist. But at least we didnt get caught in the biblical hail storm that struck afterwards.
