Discover the Ultimate Gift for Music Lovers: Music Maps That Tell the Full Story

If you’ve ever struggled to track who played what, when a band changed lineup, or how an artist evolved across decades—my music maps offer the perfect solution.

Each one is a meticulously designed tube-style map that charts a legendary band or artist’s entire studio album history, visually tracing every musician, collaborator, and guest across the years. Think of it as a journey map—where the stations are albums, and the lines are the people who made the music happen.

How It Works: The Design Behind the Map

Each map begins with the artist’s full discography. Studio albums become “stations” on the route. Then, using the language of transport maps, I draw “lines” for each musician:

  • A guitarist who played on every album has a line running from start to finish.
  • Guest musicians appear only at specific points, weaving briefly into the narrative.
  • Lineup changes are clearly shown—who joined, who left, and when it happened.

It’s a compelling and intuitive way to understand a band's full story, from its big names to its unsung contributors.

What Makes These Music Maps Unique?

  • Visual Storytelling: Watch a band’s history unfold like a journey—easy to follow and unforgettable.
  • Deep Research: Every print is based on extensive research into studio credits, timelines, and guest appearances.
  • Handcrafted Design: I create each map myself—no templates, no automation—just thoughtful design made with passion.
  • Archival Print Quality: Printed on heavyweight art paper, these maps are built to last and look stunning framed.
  • Conversation Starters: Fans and collectors love unpacking the details, which makes them perfect for music rooms, studios, and gifts.
