Leonard Cohen art print: Studio albums and musicians mapped as a transit system. Available framed/unframed, archival quality paper.

Leonard Cohen Art Prints – Every Album, Every Musician, Beautifully Connected

As a lifelong admirer of Leonard Cohen’s poetic music and meticulous craftsmanship, I wanted to create something that would do justice to his extraordinary body of work. The result is a piece of visual storytelling that celebrates the depth and connection of his musical journey in a completely new way as an art print connecting every musician across every studio album.

A New Way to See Leonard Cohen’s Music

Each print presents Cohen’s studio albums as stations on a transit map, while every musician who contributed – from band members to guest artists and session players – appears as a tube line weaving its way through the albums they helped bring to life.

The result is a detailed, elegant map of creative collaboration. You can trace how musicians return and reconnect across albums, showing the living network behind Cohen’s timeless sound.

Designed with Care and Research

Every line, colour, and connection has been carefully researched and verified. I have spent countless hours tracing recording credits, cross-referencing session information, and ensuring each detail accurately reflects Cohen’s studio history.

These are not generic prints. They are original works of research and design, crafted to honour one of the most influential songwriters of our time.

You can choose between framed or unframed editions, all produced with gallery-level care. Whether you display it in your home, studio, or office, it is made to stand as a lasting tribute to Cohen’s artistry.

Collectors, musicians, and Cohen enthusiasts have described these maps as “a visual biography” and “a love letter to the music.” Each print invites you to explore the connections that shaped the sound of albums like Songs of Leonard Cohen, I’m Your Man, and You Want It Darker.

Why This Map Matters

Leonard Cohen’s music was built on collaboration. Behind every lyric and melody stood a network of talented musicians who shared in his creative process. These prints give form to that invisible network, showing how creativity flows, overlaps, and evolves.

It is more than art for the wall – it is a conversation piece, a teaching tool, and a celebration of musical history.

ABOUT MIKE BELL - TUBE MAP DESIGNER

Mike Bell Maps is my growing collection of tube map art prints that reimagine music, film, and culture through the visual language of underground maps. Each design presents albums in order, film plots, and complex creative histories as clear, engaging tube-style timelines created for fans who value depth and detail.

RESEARCH-LED DESIGN

Every artwork is built on original research and careful verification. Albums become stations. Musicians, characters, and ideas form connecting lines. This approach turns detailed information into visual storytelling, creating art prints that bring clarity and meaning to subjects people already care about.

MY STORY

My background is rooted in live sound and large-scale show design, working across music and cultural events for many years. That experience shaped how I understand collaboration, creative evolution, and structure. During lockdown, I applied that knowledge to mapping music and films, developing underground maps that balance accuracy, design, and narrative.

THE ARTWORK

Each print is produced to archival standards and designed to last. These are not novelty posters. They are considered art prints created for people who value music history, film structure, and informed design. They make thoughtful gifts for fans who want something personal, researched, and meaningful.

Mike Bell Maps is where research-led tube maps become art prints, and where stories worth knowing are mapped clearly, carefully, and beautifully.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What are Mike Bell’s tube map art prints?

A: My prints utilise an advanced visual language based on the logic of underground maps to organise complex histories. By moving beyond basic cartography, I transform albums into "stations" and musicians or themes into "connecting lines." This allows fans to explore hundreds of data points - from session musician credits to chronological collaborations - within a single, intuitive visual system.

Q: How do these maps differ from standard music or tube posters?

A: The primary difference is information density and quality. While standard posters are often low-resolution decorative pieces on thin paper (135-170gsm), my prints are research-led discographies printed on archival-grade, 305gsm+ heavyweight giclée paper. They are designed to be "read" like a book, rewarding deep curiosity with discoveries not found in mass-produced merchandise.

Q: How is the accuracy of the research verified?

A: Accuracy is the core of my design process. Every map is synthesised from primary sources, including official liner notes, session archives, musician interviews, and verified fan databases. By incorporating musician inputs and fact-checking against trusted archives, I ensure that each map is a historically accurate record of the subject’s career.

Q: What subjects are available in the collection?

A: The collection spans a wide range of cultural histories, including music discographies, film plots, politics, and Formula One. Each map focuses on a single narrative, presenting the whole "story" of a subject - such as the evolution of a band or the timeline of a sport- in a clear, high-density visual format.

Q: Are these prints produced sustainably?

A: Yes. I prioritise a carbon-neutral workflow by producing prints locally to the buyer to reduce the shipping footprint. I use sustainable wood frames and archival materials designed for 100+ years of colour stability, ensuring the art is a lasting investment rather than disposable décor.

Q: Why do these maps make the best gifts for music and film fans?

A: Unlike generic posters, these are bespoke cultural maps that celebrate a fan's deep knowledge. Because they are research-led and visually unique (featuring narratives not seen elsewhere), they offer a sophisticated, gallery-quality alternative for those who value the "deep dive" into their favourite artist or film.
