ABOUT
Whether it’s 8, 16 and 32-bit, Retr8bit specialises combining pixel art design and craft artisan skill into bespoke retro-graphic art pieces – built one bead at a time.
Each piece (or ‘Sprite’) is individually hand crafted with Hama and/or Perler beads. Whilst durable, please do take care with all items.
FAQ
Q. Where is your store based?
A. We are based in London, United Kingdom.
Q. Do you accept orders placed outside of the UK?
A. Of course! International delivery is calculated at checkout.
Q. These items look quite fragile; Will they last?
A. We purposefully apply a heavier heating method for items that require additional durability. This in turn creates a flatter, more solid but also more flexible product, which will resist unintentional stresses from everyday use.
Returning customers regularly comment to us on how long their products have lasted, despite their initial expectations.
Q. Do you guys do Custom Commissions?
A. Heck yeah! Custom Commissions can range from your favourite pre-existing sprite from your favourite videogame, to a Retr8bit take on your Original Character. Check out our Gallery for examples of past orders!
Q. Can I use your designs for my own work?
A. 100% Yes. All Retr8bit designs are held under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License; free to use for your own projects but not for commercial purposes.
