      ABOUT MAP & SHOW DESIGNER MIKE BELL

      Mike Bell Maps is a collection of music maps and visual discographies created by designer and researcher Mike Bell in East Sussex. Each artwork transforms the stories of bands, films, and cultural movements into beautifully designed art prints that blend research, design, and storytelling.

      With roots in live sound and 3D show design, Mike brings the precision of stage craft and the passion of a music insider to every map. What began during lockdown as a creative experiment quickly became a global project - turning complex discographies and histories into clear, visually striking maps that invite exploration.

      Each Mike Bell Map is a tube-style journey through culture: albums as stations, musicians as connecting lines, stories unfolding across decades. From The Fall’s ever-changing line-ups to cinematic storylines and political histories, these prints reveal the hidden connections behind the music and moments we love.

      Now an international art print brand shipping worldwide, Mike Bell Maps continues to merge accuracy with artistry - creating pieces that spark curiosity, inspire conversation, and celebrate the legacies that define modern culture.

      Ready to explore culture through a different lens? Browse the collection and join the journey.
