EDWYN COLLINS Art Print | Albums & Musicians Connected | Unique Gift for Fans
ALL ABOUT THE ART PRINT DETAILS
Art Print Accuracy & Updates
Every one of my prints (apart from my Wit & Wisdom of Jeremy Clarkson) is the result of my detailed research, cross-referencing, and design refinement. Each piece is handcrafted to present the most accurate possible picture of an artist’s recording history, a film’s storyline, or a cultural timeline.
I take pride in the precision behind every connection, date, and credit featured across the collection.
Meticulous Research, Human Process
My research combines album liner notes, musicians' inputs, session archives, fan databases, interviews, and verified public sources to ensure each map is factually sound. However, even the most carefully researched projects can contain minor errors or omissions, especially when dealing with complex discographies and multi-decade histories.
Community Feedback & Collaboration
I actively welcome feedback from fans, collectors, and artists who spot inconsistencies or have new information to share. Each correction helps refine future editions and strengthens the historical accuracy of the maps. Contributors who provide verified updates receive discounts on future orders as a thank-you for their diligence and support.
Commitment to Quality
Accuracy isn’t just a promise, it’s part of the creative process. Every update and reprint reflects a commitment to truth, design integrity, and respect for the music, film, and other stories represented.
I value the relationship with my customers and the collaboration that ensures these works continue to evolve and stay relevant.
I will always strive to combine artistic expression with documentary accuracy, celebrating creativity through precision and openness.
WHY ARE MY ART PRINTS SO DIFFERENT?
I create MUSIC and FILM TUBE MAPS art prints that transform complex histories into clear, transit-style visual journeys.
My MUSIC MAPS chart an artist’s complete studio album history, showing how lineups changed, how collaborators shaped different eras, and how a sound evolved across decades.
My FILM PLOT LINE MAPS use the same structured approach to trace entire story arcs, character paths, timelines, and key narrative intersections in a single, coherent visual.
Every map is grounded in rigorous research across interviews, liner notes, archives, and verified historical sources, bringing together information that is rarely assembled in one place.
My hand-designed art prints display contributors, narrative turns, character developments, and creative progress.
The result is an authoritative, intuitive overview that helps fans understand complex discographies or story structures without sorting through scattered timelines.
My maps are created for collectors, long-time fans, new listeners, film enthusiasts, educators, and anyone looking for meaningful, design-led gifts.
Printed on archival art paper and built to spark conversation, they offer a visually rich and trustworthy way to explore musical history or cinematic storytelling and appreciate the craft behind the works you love.

About the Creator — Mike Bell
I am Mike Bell, a designer based in East Sussex and the founder of Mike Bell Maps. I spent many years working on live events, designing stage builds and providing technical production. When the live events world paused under lockdowns, I turned my energy and experience to something different: transforming music and story history into visual art.
With Mike Bell Maps, I create detailed, transit-style maps that chart studio albums, collaborations and narrative journeys across decades. My first music map - The Fall - went through sixteen versions before it felt right. This dedication exemplifies the level of research, care and attention I bring to every art print.
Each map I offer is grounded in fundamental research: liner notes, archival credits, interviews and fan archives. My tube maps do more than look good. They turn complex histories - of bands, albums, collaborators, even film plots or cultural movements - into clear, beautiful art prints that tell stories.
Whether collected for love of music, film or cultural history, every piece ships globally, carefully produced and packaged, and crafted to last. My aim is always to combine authority, artistry and authenticity so that each map is as trustworthy and meaningful as it is visually striking.
If you are browsing any art print here on my site, you are interacting with work built from experience, rigorous research and a passion for storytelling through design.

Why are art prints one of the most thoughtful gifts for music & film fans?
When you are searching for a gift for music or movie fans, it is easy to fall back on the usual ideas such as vinyl, books or merchandise. Yet one category consistently delivers emotional impact, visual appeal and long-lasting value: wall art prints.
High-quality art prints can transform a living space while celebrating the music that matters most to the recipient. As a designer who has spent years mapping discographies, timelines and cultural influence across modern music,
I specialise in creating music-themed wall art that is both visually striking and data-rich. This makes my work particularly strong as a gift choice for any music fan who appreciates detail, storytelling and design.
Why wall art resonates with music lovers
Music fans often form deep personal connections with specific bands, albums and musical eras. Wall art allows that passion to live in a visible and expressive place in the home. A print on the wall becomes a conversation piece as well as a daily reminder of what inspires them.
Each piece is not simply a decoration but a carefully designed visual map of a musician’s creative journey, album evolution or narrative world.
What makes my art prints different
My prints are developed through detailed research, archival listening and structured data analysis. Every diagram, line and connection on the page tells part of a story that fans recognise.
Whether it is a complete discography map, a breakdown of album eras or a visual plot line from a classic film, the intent is always the same: to get the data right and present it in a way that enhances understanding.
These art prints work particularly well as gifts for music fans because they combine accuracy with visual flair. They appeal to both design-focused buyers and those who want a unique piece of memorabilia that captures the essence of their favourite artist.
Why art prints make strong gifts
Choosing a gift that feels personal is often a challenge. Music-themed wall art solves that by offering something distinctive that aligns directly with the recipient’s taste. High-quality prints also carry a sense of permanence and care.
Art prints elevate a room without requiring technical setup, sizing guesswork or specialist knowledge. Frames and sizes can be selected easily, and the artwork becomes an enduring presence in the home.
For gifting occasions such as birthdays, Christmas or housewarmings, art prints represent an ideal balance of thoughtful design and practical value. They suit living rooms, studios, creative spaces and home offices, providing a focal point that reflects the owner’s identity.
Examples of ideal gifts from my collection
Below are examples of the types of music art prints that fit perfectly within the “gift for music fans” category.
- Full discography maps offering a complete visual journey through a band’s career.
- Album timeline prints showing creative evolution across genres and eras.
- Film plot line prints are ideal for fans who love both cinema and soundtracks.
Each print is available in multiple sizes, from A3 up to large statement pieces, making it simple to choose an option that suits the recipient’s space and style.
If you are searching for an original and meaningful gift for music fans, wall art should sit at the top of your list. High-quality art prints combine emotional resonance, design value and long-term enjoyment.
My music maps and film plot line prints offer a data-rich, visually engaging alternative to standard merchandise, designed for fans who want to celebrate their favourite artists more distinctively.
