The Lewes Tube Map Art Print
This map is part of an irreverent series of place-themed tube maps completed during the 2020 lockdown. Initially a creative distraction, the maps became surprisingly popular.
However, I soon found the niche market for local town tube maps quite saturated. This led me to explore more challenging subjects in music and movies.
Despite this shift, local town maps, such as those of Lewes and Uckfield, remain popular. Residents and visitors often choose the art prints as quirky souvenirs or unique gifts.
A bespoke, expanded version of my Lewes map is prominently displayed at a local consultancy firm.
My Lewes Tube Map isn't high art or historically precise. Instead, it's playful, witty, and distinctly irreverent. It gently pokes fun at local quirks and landmarks, sparking amusing conversations wherever displayed.
Why choose the irreverent Lewes Tube Map art print?
- Unique and amusing design, ideal for locals and visitors
- Available in various print sizes

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.
