ABOUT MIKE BELL - TUBE MAP DESIGNER
I took up music map 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 design tube map-style art prints that turn MUSIC DISCOGRAPHIES, MOVIE PLOTS, and cultural timelines into clear, readable networks.
Albums become stations, scenes become junctions, and the musicians, characters, and ideas that connect them become the lines.
My work is research-led. Every map is built from verified sources and then distilled into a clean visual system that rewards close reading.
Watch me being interviewed by Sam Knowles on his Data Malarkey podcast - my story, my background, and my design processes.
These are not novelty posters; they are detailed art prints for fans who care about the full story behind what they love.
WHAT MAKES MIKE BELL'S TUBE MAPS DIFFERENT:
Research first: credits, chronology, and connections checked and cross-referenced.
Designed to be read: follow one line, discover a new collaborator, track the story outward.
Archival quality: heavyweight giclée printing made to last.
Made for deep fans: a personal, meaningful gift that feels specific to the subject
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Mike Bell Maps are original, research-driven art prints that visualise complex stories using a clear map-based design system.
Each piece takes a subject such as a musician’s discography, a film series, or a political timeline and plots it visually so relationships, sequences, and connections become easy to understand at a glance.
Every map is designed and researched by Mike Bell, combining graphic design with structured data and narrative clarity.
A music map visually charts an artist’s career in detail. Studio albums appear as stations, musicians and collaborators are shown as connecting lines, and key changes in sound or personnel are reflected through layout and structure.
Unlike standard band posters, these maps focus on accuracy and completeness. They show how albums relate to one another, who played on what, and how an artist’s output evolved over time.
These prints are designed for fans who enjoy depth, discovery, and long term engagement rather than surface level imagery.
Accuracy is central to every map. Each music map is built using multiple research sources, including album liner notes, session credits, interviews, official band documentation, and trusted music archives.
Before release, the data is checked, refined, and often revisited as new information becomes available. Many maps go through multiple revisions to ensure the relationships and timelines are correct.
This research-led approach is one of the main reasons collectors and long-time fans value these prints.
Movie plot line maps visually break down the narrative structure of a film or film series. Key plot points are shown as stations, characters are represented as lines, and intersections show where stories and characters interact.
These maps are particularly popular with film fans who enjoy understanding structure, pacing, and character arcs rather than simply revisiting promotional imagery.
They work as both wall art and conversation pieces, rewarding repeat viewing with new details over time.
