BE A NICE HUMAN - Street Art Mural in Dalston

Be a Nice Human was the first design in our ‘Summer of Type 19’ Collection, a 3D experiment we created that took us on a journey to spread a little love and happiness to our corner of Dalston in East London. We want everyone to celebrate life, be positive and be unapologetically real - what ever that means to you. Create your own culture, be inclusive and diversify. Feeling a bit cheeky, we approached Print Club London with the design Photoshopped onto a shipping container in their alley way and an email simply entitled: “We think the container would look amazing if you let us paint this….” 15 minutes later they had got permission from Castle Gibson who own the container and event spaces behind so the project it was all go! So we got organised, bought a lot of paint, scraped off some old paste-ups, and produced this beautifully simple and vibrant piece of artwork. All aspects of the mural / street art were handpainted using various methods. Sadly the GoPro gave up just before we finished so there's a small section of handpainting not covered but you can see a full album of photos taken at each stage on our facebook account www.facebook.com/mantrabrandhouse
