Great gift for a Bowie fan ! Very nicely done and item was well packaged and arrived in Canada quickly. Totally satisfied.
Having seen your work in the Guardian a few weeks previously and looked at your website, it didn't take much to press the 'Add to bag' button and easily make my purchase. It arrived in good time and well wrapped. Thank you!
This was a gift for someone who is so hard to buy for and he loves it. It's almost as though it was made for him alone! It's so clever! Thank you
Couldn't have been easier. Got it really quickly as far as I'm concerned, and given the cost of custom framing, the money for having this delivered framed was well spent. The print arrived in excellent condition, frame and all.
Incredible detail. I'm still studying it! Worth every penny.
This was a gift for my dad. He loved it! Amazing quality and the time it must have taken to research is evident. Thank you
Love this type of stuff

Exploring the music maps is as easy as navigating your local transit map - albeit some bands and underground systems are more detailed than others!

If you are choosing a present for prog rock fans, the hard part is not the wall space. It is working out which of these eight maps says the most...
A gift for Cody Johnson fans: my discography map art print plots all nine records and every credited musician, from one name in 2007 to 43 on Human. From £42.
A gift for Goats Head Soup fans: all ten tracks of the 1973 Rolling Stones album mapped, every musician drawn as a line. Giclée print, A2 and A1, from £42.
A gift for Dierks Bentley fans: a Giclée discography map art print plotting all ten albums and 144 credited musicians as tube lines. A2 or A1, from £42.
I design discography tube map gifts for music fans who want something more thoughtful than a generic print off a shelf. This page covers how I research and design each one, how to read them, what goes into every print, and how to order. If you're buying for a fan (or you are one), you'll find the detail here that most gift guides skip.
Mike Bell Music Maps are data-driven art prints that translate an artist's discography into a structured, transport-style diagram. Each one reveals how band members, session musicians, and collaborators connect across albums and timelines, which is exactly why they work so well as gifts for music fans: no two collections look alike, and a fan can spot names and connections in their own record collection that they'd never noticed before.

Because they reward the kind of person who reads liner notes. A generic band poster says "I like this artist." A map says "someone worked out exactly who played on what, and thought of me." Every credit is placed and verified by hand, not generated, so a Steely Dan obsessive or a Bowie completist gets something that holds up to genuine scrutiny. That's the difference between a poster and a piece a fan actually wants on their wall.
Every map is built from detailed original research: albums placed in release order, every collaborator checked and verified before it goes anywhere near the design. View the Music Fan Art Prints collection to see examples.
Yes. Every map is built from verified discography data, official credits, and trusted sources, researched and structured by hand rather than pulled from a template. This is the part that takes the longest, and it's the part that makes the map worth giving as a gift rather than just buying a poster. You can read more about the methodology behind the design process.
