CHAPLIN.
Brummie roots, North Cornwall workshop. I’m an artist and former musician who traded the stage for the rhythm of the screen press. I am the founder of Bude's indie coffee house: House of Chaplin. The name Chaplin was given to me as a child by my Romani Nan; she saw a creative spark in me that took decades for me to fully realise.
THE BRAND.
The 7 Hope Brand is built on the rubble of a total system reset. Navigating the daily reality of PTSD and depression means you either sink or you build an anchor. This studio is my anchor. It’s a stand against the noise and a testament to sticking to your craft when everything else goes dark. We reclaim the ground one print at a time.
THE PRINT SHOP.
7 Hope Studio is the production arm built into the heart of the House of Chaplin building. I’m self-taught and strictly old-school. If it carries the 7.H Hallmark, it was hand-pulled and designed by me. Total attention to detail isn’t a marketing line—it’s the only way I know how to work.
THE PODCAST.
The Chaplin Podcast is a weekly check-in from the shop floor. A quiet corner within the noise that is non-judgmental, heartfelt and honest. No scripts, no agendas—it’s the ‘something’ I was searching for when I felt lost.
