ABOUT + FAQ'S

 

RIP BAMBI (she/her) is an internationally published feminist illustrator and artist from the dreary heart of middle England. Her familial roots are with circus travellers from the south of Ireland, where the wild things grow and the banshees hoe.

Bambi's work mainly focusses around body positivity and challenging societal norms on women and their sexuality. Feminism, fetishism and the subversion of power dynamics are regularly featured alongside "tongue-in-cheek, biting wit" around these topics. Her wider inspirations include Japanese manga, the cat, the riot grrrl movement, pop culture, witchcraft and whatever current hyperfocus she has.

She is a queer, neurodivergent woman from a working class background and is passionate about these in her art. Having been late-diagnosed with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder at 26, she advocates for the importance of accessibility and inclusivity for neurodivergent women, particularly in the arts. In 2020, Bambi had a 6 page feature in 'A Woman's Right To Pleasure', featuring "200 works and original texts from over 60 of the world's most important and well-recognized female-identifying artists".

Bambi is also an experienced jewellery maker, having previously worked in the industry for 10+ years, and her designs were regularly published in national magazines. She now makes small, alternative fashion inspired ranges and occasionally creates more complex chainmaille pieces on very limited releases.

Bambi's work is produced digitally as well as with pen and inks, with the humble fineliner being her medium of choice.

OTHER INFO

International orders are sent via Untracked Standard. There are no tracking numbers for this service. If you do need tracking, please email before ordering and I can arrange this.

Tshirts and apparel will always be sent separately to other items. You won’t incur any extra postage costs for multiple packages, but please keep in mind they may arrive at different times.

The postal service can push through some parcels faster than it does envelopes and vice versa.


If you think your order may have gone missing in the post (and the estimates above have passed) or arrives damaged, get in touch and you'll get a resolution ASAP.

All orders are sent with reliable, but untracked services as standard. Royal Mail is the usual carrier of choice and comes with a 99% successful delivery rate at a more affordable pricepoint. Unless specifically requested and agreed prior to ordering, you will not receive a tracking number.

If you would like to ensure a delivery is tracked, feel free to get in touch to arrange this and receive a quote.

Please note - Whilst every effort is taken to package items in a way that does not cause additional customs fees/import taxes, in the event these occur, these are solely the responsibility of the buyer and RIP BAMBI is not responsible for these.

RIP BAMBI ships all over the globe with flat rate international and domestic postage*.

Please see delivery times in the section above. 

*Items are not shipped to Israel.

Tshirts and other apparel items are almost always posted separately to artwork and jewellery. As most apparel is made to order, this allows for faster dispatch and also minimises any potential damage to artwork ordered at the same time.

It's common, and expected, for multi-package orders to arrive on different days (and potentially via different postal providers). Please allow time to account for this before contacting.

If you still think something has been missed from your order, or there has been damage/another issue, get in touch using the email address at the bottom of the page. 

Pre-existing work typically is always cleared by Bambi, but it is asked that you always enquire via email beforehand for permission. There are exceptions in certain pieces that are either paid client work, or work of a personal nature.

If confirmed, a small contribution of Β£20 is requested for a virtual 'tattoo ticket' to support RIP BAMBI.

Please email bambi@ripbambi.com, or via Instagram (@ripbambi) to get in touch with your ideas.

Need something in a rush? Faster turnarounds can be negotiated for a 20% rush fee.


For commission work, fees depend on the work required and the time involved in producing it, and as such quotes must be given per project.  Please get in touch (info below) with your project ideas and general budget in mind if you'd like to work with RIP BAMBI.

Quotes are always free of charge, and suggestions can also be made to best match budgets. You are never obligated or pressured to make a booking after being quoted.

A 50% deposit is expected upfront to confirm a project booking (100% if the total fee is less than Β£100). No work is completed upfront without an initial payment. Artwork previews are watermarked and low-res for artist protection.

(As a very vague example, you can expect a custom portrait with full body detailing to be around Β£95. A minimum fee of Β£50 applies to all projects.)

Reposts are welcomed and always appreciated. Please refrain from editing the original piece/post and share directly from RIP BAMBI accounts where possible.

If uploading a screenshot, please avoid adding filters or texts and ensure that@ripbambi is always tagged. Watermarks are not intended to serve as artist credit.

Occasionally, free print(s) offers will be shared - announced via Instagram. Although open to everyone, as these are intended to also help low income supporters access artwork - they are strictly only one per person, whilst they last. Postage fees will still apply.

Please note - Whilst measures are in place to keep free print claims fair, if you are found to be abusing the system to claim multiple free prints, your email and account(s) will be banned from placing any future orders. 

If you’re at art school/university (or producing any non-profit essays) and would like to feature RIP BAMBI  in any of your modules/coursework please feel free to do so.

If you require any information, have a few questions or want to request imagery/attributes, please feel free to submit a request via email. Please give a brief explanation in your email of what the scope of your project is.
