Every Tube Map Art Print | Intelligent Gifts for Fans
Find a Tube Map Art Print by Artist, Film or Place
This is my index of every music discography map, film plot map and place tube map art print I've researched and designed: currently over 60 music maps, six films and four place and process maps. Type a name in the box, tap a letter to jump straight there, or just scroll the pictures.
Music Discography Map Art Prints, A to Z
Each music map shows credited musicians, session players, band members and guests as tube lines threading through the albums they appear on, with branch lines for one-off contributors. When I'm researching a new map I work from sleeve credits and verified discography sources, along with fan and musician and producer inputs.
Film Plot Map Art Prints
Six films have had the full plot-mapping treatment so far, each traced scene by scene with characters running as their own tube lines. The film maps use red headers rather than the blue of the music maps, so a wall of mixed prints still reads cleanly. The James Bond map is the outlier: one map of the entire Eon series, with the recurring characters and actors connected across the films.
Place, Sport and Process Map Art Prints
Two Sussex towns, Lewes and Uckfield, get the tube map treatment, alongside a Brighton and Hove Albion history map for the local side. The event production process map comes from my other working life, two decades designing live events, with every role in a production team as a station.
Browse Music Art Prints and Film Maps by Collection
If you'd rather start from a genre, a decade, a band family, or a birthday than the full A to Z, these are the same groupings I use in the main menu. Every collection opens a shoppable page of the music art prints, film plot maps, or place maps that belong in it.

About My Tube Map Art Prints
I'm Mike Bell, the designer and researcher behind every tube map art print at mikebellmaps.com. The catalogue has grown from a handful of discography maps into a wider body of music, film and place work, all sharing one visual system.
My David Bowie discography tube map is held in the permanent collection at the V&A David Bowie Centre. My Bruce Springsteen discography map is held at the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music at Monmouth University.
The discography maps are deep research projects, often taking many days per artist as I trace credited musicians, session players, band members and guests across a catalogue. Because the visual language stays consistent across the range, several prints hung together read as one wall.
Every map is plotted line by line in CAD in my studio, then printed as a museum-quality Giclée on 230gsm archival, acid-free fine art paper with a textured matte finish, and shipped worldwide. The full production detail lives on my print and frame specifications page.
If there's an artist, film or place you'd like to see mapped next, drop me a line through my contact page. Many of the maps in this index began as fan requests.
