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. Hot off the press today I did a #facebooklive painting of the new @huffpost brand on #northstreet #bristol thanks to @leemoran @upfest and @weareplaster pic courtesy of @streetart_bristol #jodybristol #jodyart #jodyartist #huffingtonpost #huffpostgram #huffpost A post shared by Jody Thomas (@jody_artist) on Apr 25, 2017 at 9:40am PDT Thomas began painting at the citys celebrated Barton Hill youth centeraround 1988alongside other notable artists such as Inkie, Cheo and the world-famous (but still elusive)Banksy.He stepped away from the scene around 1990 to study and work in graphic design. But Thomas returned to street art in the late 2000s after being misquoted in a book that said he was coming back. Hes since exhibited his work in New York City and London.Thomas will feature alongside 300 other painters from more than 40 countries at UpfestEuropes largest live street art and graffiti festivalin the Bedminster area from July 29 to 31.You can check out more of his work oneither of hiswebsitesor hisInstagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts.type=type=RelatedArticlesblockTitle=Related Coverage + articlesList=584185aae4b017f37fe41ab8,58820c24e4b070d8cad1ead2,579cad7be4b0e2e15eb6172a,57a8d469e4b0aae2a5a0bcda -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
