Public Image: A Discography Map of the Musical Legacy of JOHN LYDON
This meticulous piece of discography/cartography offers a definitive look at the history of one of the most influential figures in music. I have researched and correlated the data behind the various eras of JOHN LYDON’s career, from the seismic punk impact of the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks to the experimental soundscapes of Public Image Ltd and his solo studio recordings.
Using professional CAD software for technical precision, I have mapped every major studio album as a station on the network. The lines connecting these milestones are the result of detailed research into the musicians, session artists, and collaborators who moved through the various line-ups of PiL and beyond.
By mapping the data behind the music, I have created a visual history that shows the structural logic of his discography and the interconnected nature of his creative journey. It is a striking, data-driven art piece for any fan of punk, post-punk, and cultural history.
Tube Map Print Accuracy & Updates
Every one of my prints is the result of my detailed research, cross-referencing, and design refinement. Each tube map 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, movie, 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.

PRESERVING YOUR INVESTMENT - Premium Tube Maps Care Guide
Thank you for choosing a Mike Bell Maps Giclee Print. To ensure your artwork remains as vibrant as the day it was printed for the next century, please follow these professional handling guidelines:
1. The "Clean Hands" Rule - Giclee prints are created with archival pigment inks that sit on the surface of the 305 gsm paper. Natural skin oils can transfer to the ink. We recommend washing and drying your hands thoroughly before handling or wearing white cotton "archival" gloves if available.
2. Avoid the "Roll-Back" - If your print arrived in a tube, let it flatten naturally. Lay it on a clean, flat surface and place a few heavy, smooth objects (like books) on the corners. Never roll the print tightly in the opposite direction, as this can "stress" the heavy paper fibres and cause creasing.
3. Framing is Protection - To ensure the 100+ year lightfastness guarantee, we recommend framing your print behind UV-protective glass or acrylic. Always use acid-free mounting materials (like the mounts provided in our framed options) to prevent "paper burn" or yellowing over time.
4. Location Matters - While our inks are gallery-standard, prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight can eventually affect any pigment. For maximum longevity, hang your map in a location that avoids consistent direct afternoon sun and high-humidity environments (like bathrooms).
5. Dusting - If your print is unframed, never use water or cleaning sprays. A soft, dry microfiber cloth or a clean squirrel-hair brush is all that is needed to remove surface dust.
