"VERY COOL AND SMART." Dr Susan Rogers, Prince's Producer

Mike Bell - Data Map Designer

I took up music map (and movie plot line maps) design when COVID-19 took away my show design, and then, after 'normal' returned, came the hollowing of my livelihood by AI - it came fast & still chisels at my live event creative work. This is data, but not as AI knows it... yet.

I create tube map-style art prints that transform music discographies, movie plots, and cultural timelines into clear, easy-to-read networks.

Albums become stations, scenes become junctions, and the musicians, characters, and ideas connecting them form the lines.

My work is research-driven. Each map is built from verified sources and then simplified into a clean visual system that encourages close examination.

FAQs

Explore how Mike Bell Maps transform complex music discographies and film narratives into structured visual systems. Below you’ll find answers explaining how Music Maps and Movie Plot Line Maps work, how they are created, and what makes them unique.

What are Mike Bell Maps?

Mike Bell Maps are data-driven artworks that visualise music discographies and film narratives as transport-style maps. Each design reveals how artists, collaborators, or characters connect across albums or storylines.
How do Music Maps work?
  • Tube lines represent band members, session musicians, guest artists, and collaborators
  • Stations represent albums where those artists come together
  • Intersections highlight collaborations across multiple albums
  • Branch lines show one-off credits tied to specific albums or sessions

This structure allows you to trace creative relationships and discover hidden connections across a discography.
How do Movie Plot Line Maps work?
  • Lines represent individual characters
  • Stations represent key plot points in the story
  • Connections show where characters interact or storylines converge
  • Key moments include quotes, events, and narrative turning points tracked along each line

This allows you to follow character journeys while understanding the full narrative structure visually.
Are the maps accurate?

Yes. Each map is created using verified discography data, official credits, and trusted film references to ensure accuracy and consistency.
What formats are available?

Maps are available as museum-quality prints and professionally framed editions designed for display or gifting.
Do you ship internationally?
