Music Wall Art Prints | Tube Map Art for Obsessive Fans | Plus Movie Plot Lines Mapped as Art

Music Wall Art Designed for Fans Who Want Details - Bowie to Bruce

I design discography and film plot tube maps - art prints that trace every album, every collaborator, every character and story arc. Wall art for music fans from Bowie to Springsteen, Joy Division to Taylor Swift - and for film fanatics too - Bond to Blade Runner - those who want something on their wall that actually means something.

Questions About the Maps

How I research and design the maps, how to read them, and how to order.

What are Mike Bell Maps?

Art prints that translate music discographies and film narratives into structured, transport-style diagrams - every collaborator, character, and connection mapped in a single image. Browse Music Fan Art Prints, Film Plot Map Prints, or all prints.

How do the Music Maps work?

  • Tube lines represent band members, session musicians, and guest collaborators
  • Stations represent albums where those artists appear together
  • Intersections mark collaborations across multiple albums
  • Branch lines show one-off credits tied to specific sessions

Every map is built from original research - albums in release order, every credit verified.

How do the Film Plot Maps work?

  • Lines represent individual characters tracked through the full film
  • Stations mark key plot points and story beats
  • Intersections show where characters meet or storylines converge
  • Annotations capture quotes, events, and narrative details along each line

Are the maps accurate?

Yes. Music maps draw on verified discography data and official credits. Film maps are built scene by scene from the film and trusted reference sources. Every detail is verified before it's placed. More on the design process.

What formats are available?

A2 and A1 Giclée prints on 230gsm fine art paper with a textured matte finish.
