IT'S THAT TIME OF THE DECADE AGAIN IS IT?
Welcome to bitsonwalls: Brighton’s most persistent, non-profit eco-activist art collective.
We crawled out of the wreckage of the 2010 banking crisis with a handful of screen prints and a lot of optimism. Nearly two decades later, the global economy is still a bit of a bin fire, but we’re still chugging along in our salty, seagull-infested corner of the South Coast.
Think of us as the lovechild of a Banksy-style stencil and a David Attenborough documentary, raised on a steady diet of Ben Elton’s This Other Eden and the high-seas heroics of Greenpeace ships. We make funny, irreverent, and deeply self-deprecating artwork that tries to save the planet without being a total buzzkill about it.
We are strictly not-for-profit. Any money we make goes right back into the collective to fund more art for the 99%, ensuring we remain fundamentally terrible at capitalism while doing our bit for humankind. We’re just a group of geeks obsessed with paper weight and the environment, trying to put the "right" kind of bits on walls before the sea levels rise enough to turn our studio into a submarine.
Frequently asked questions
What is the return policy?
The "Oh No, It Clashes With The Sofa" Clause (Change of Mind)
We get it. sometimes you buy a piece of revolutionary art, and it just doesn't vibe with the feng shui.
- The Rule: You have 30 days from delivery to tell us you want to return it.
- The Deal: You ship it back to us (at your cost) in its original packaging. Once it arrives safe and sound, we refund the cost of the print.
- The Catch: If you send it back rolled up in a bin bag or used as a placemat, we can't refund you. It needs to be resellable.
The "Postman Pat Played Football With It" Clause (Damaged Goods)
If your print arrives looking like it’s been through a mosh pit:
- Don't panic.
- Take photos of the damage (print and packaging).
- Email us immediately.
- The Fix: We will send a replacement free of charge or issue a full refund. We’ll handle the fight with the courier.
The "You Printed My Face On A Badger" Clause (Custom Orders)
If you commissioned a bespoke piece (e.g., personalised text or a custom size), we generally cannot accept returns unless it is faulty. It turns out the market for portraits of your Uncle Gary is smaller than we hoped.
How to Return
Drop a line to bitsonwalls@gmail.com with your order number, and we'll send you the return address (it's in Brighton, obviously).
When will I get my order?
The Goal: 2–4 Business Days
We aim to get your print rolled, tubed, and hurled towards the Post Office within 2 to 4 business days. We are usually pretty quick because we want you to have it on your wall as soon as possible.
The Safety Net: Up to 28 Days
However, please remember we are a small collective of humans in Brighton, not a massive warehouse of drones. Occasionally, things happen—ink shortages, unexpected protests, or just the chaotic nature of existence.
Because of this, we ask that you allow up to 28 days for delivery before sending out a search party.
- Need it for a specific date? (e.g., a birthday or a leaving do). Drop us an email before you order, and we’ll tell you honestly if we can hit the deadline.
Where are your prints made?
We are a Brighton collective, and we are stubborn about keeping things local. We almost exclusively showcase artists from right here in the city. If you buy a print from one of our featured artists, chances are it was printed, inspected, and packed within walking distance of the sea.
The "House" Commissions
For pieces we commission ourselves, we trust the veterans at Colourfast. They are a long-established Brighton institution that handles our print runs with the kind of obsession usually reserved for bomb disposal.
No Drop-Shipping Here
Everything is printed in the UK. We don't do "print-on-demand" from a faceless warehouse three continents away. So rest assureed, your bitsonwalls delivery has had fewer air miles than your avocado toast ;)
