WHY MY TUBE MAPS ARE DIFFERENT
Q: What makes my tube maps different from standard music posters?
A: Unlike other band tube maps, or indeed any decorative poster, every one of my music maps is a uniquely researched and detailed timeline.
These are unique gifts for the discerning fans of music and movies.
Each print functions as a data-led narrative where every studio album is a station and every musician-band member, session musician and guest is a connecting line.
While a standard poster uses a single image, my tube maps contain hundreds of verified data points, offering a new view of an artist's album recording career.
Q: How do you "read" a music map art print?
A: You read the tube map chronologically and relationally. By following the lines, you can trace which session musicians played on specific albums, and then returned (or not), identify when band lineups changed, and see the creative evolution of an artist across decades. It transforms complex music history into an intuitive, navigable journey.
Q: Where does the data for the maps come from?
A: Every map is built on intensive, research-led design. I synthesise information from primary sources, including official liner notes, session archives, musician interviews, and verified fan databases. This process often uncovers connections and session credits that haven't been compiled in a single visual format before.
Q: Are the details on the maps historically accurate?
A: Yes, accuracy is the core of my work. Each design undergoes a meticulous verification process to ensure dates, personnel, and collaborations are correct. Because these are "living" research projects, I also collaborate with a global community of fans and collectors to refine and update the data for new editions.
Q: What is the quality of the paper used for the art prints?
A: All prints are produced to museum-grade archival standards. I use premium 302gsm Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth paper—a heavyweight, 100% cotton rag that is acid-free and calcium carbonate buffered. This ensures the colours remain vibrant and the paper does not yellow or degrade for over 100 years.
Q: Are these prints produced sustainably?
A: Yes. To minimise the carbon footprint, all prints are produced as close to the customer as possible through a global carbon-neutral shipping network. I use sustainably sourced wood for my frames and plastic-free packaging wherever possible, ensuring the art is as kind to the planet as it is to your walls.
Q: Why do Mike Bell Maps make good gifts for music fans?
A: They are "active" art pieces that reward curiosity. A generic poster is a one-time look; a Mike Bell Map is a conversation starter that fans spend hours "reading." They are specifically designed for people who value deep musical knowledge and want a sophisticated, gallery-quality alternative to standard merch.

Q&A - PRODUCTS
What do Mike Bell's tube maps show?
These art prints map the full story of the subject, such as a musician’s studio albums and collaborators or a film’s complete plot structure, in a tube map-style layout. Albums or key moments are shown as stations, with people or characters connected through clear, logical lines. It is designed to show the whole picture, not just a single image or moment.
How accurate is the information?
Each tube map is built using detailed research from trusted sources, including official credits, liner notes, interviews, and archival references. Accuracy and clarity are central to the design process, and every map is checked and refined before release.
Who creates these underground maps?
All the tube maps are researched and designed by Mike Bell in the UK. This is original, independent work created by a specialist designer rather than mass-produced artwork.
What makes this different from a standard poster?
Unlike typical posters that focus on imagery alone, Mike's tube maps visualise structure, relationships, and timelines. They are designed to reward close inspection and long-term viewing. Many customers describe them as both artwork and reference pieces.
What quality are the prints?
The artwork is printed on premium archival-grade paper using high-quality printing processes to ensure sharp detail, rich colour, and long-lasting durability. These prints are made for permanent display rather than short-term decoration.
Are framed options available?
Yes. Many designs are available as unframed prints or professionally framed and ready to hang. Available options are shown clearly on each product page.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Orders are shipped worldwide and carefully packaged to protect the artwork during transit. Shipping options and delivery estimates are shown at checkout.
Is this a good gift for fans?
Yes. These maps are popular gifts because they are based on subjects people already love, making them feel personal, thoughtful, and lasting rather than generic.
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.
I supply all my art prints on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth giclée 302 gsm paper art prints in three pre-determined standard A-sizes, with framed or unframed options across sizes:

The Gallery Standard: Tube Map Print Framing
Museum-Grade Presentation
My framed tube map prints are unique "ready-to-hang" fan gifts. I don't use plastic frames or cheap laminate; I use FSC®-certified solid wood crafted in Germany.
- Precision Finish: 16mm wide, 25mm deep profile for a sleek, modern gallery look.
- Professional Mounting: Each print includes a 1400-micron acid-free white mount (45° bevel cut) to provide depth and protect the paper from touching the glass.
- German Craftsmanship: Quality you can feel, built to last a lifetime.
Premium Glazing & UV Protection
Protecting your art is my priority.
- Standard Sizes: I use edge-ground float glass providing approximately 45% UV protection to prevent fading.
- A1 Statement Prints: For my largest size, I use 3mm premium clear acrylic. It offers the same clarity as glass but is virtually shatterproof during global transit.
The Gold Standard of Paper
I use Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth (305 gsm).
- 100% Alpha Cellulose: This is a premium, acid-free archival paper.
- Ultra-Smooth Texture: Designed to capture the intricate details of my complex music maps with vibrant, deep blacks.
Art with a Conscience (Carbon Neutral)
Your purchase supports the planet as much as it does the arts.
- Carbon Neutral: Produced under certified carbon-neutral processes.
- Supporting Forests: My UK supplier is a member of the Woodland Trust’s carbon capture scheme, and all wood is FSC-certified from responsibly managed forests.
Shipped Safely, Globally: Every framed print is housed in custom-engineered packaging to ensure it arrives in pristine condition, no matter where in the world you are.
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.
Global Tube Prints, Shorter Map Distance.
World-class art, especially my tube map art prints, shouldn't have to travel halfway around the world to reach your doorstep. By utilising a network of professional and eco-active local fulfilment centres, I ensure your print is produced as close to you as possible, with the least costs and impact on the environment.
Why this matters for you:
-
No "Surprise" Costs: Because I print locally (whenever possible), your order is far less likely to cross international borders.
- That means no hidden tariffs,
- no customs hold-ups, and
- predictable pricing for every collector.
- A Greener Choice: I endeavour to ensure that every one of my prints is 100% end-to-end carbon neutral. By shortening the distance between the press and your wall, I significantly reduce transport emissions. Where they can't be avoided, they are fully audited and offset.
- Shorter Journeys, Safer Arrival: Long-haul shipping increases the risk of damage. Local shipping involves fewer handovers and no customs inspections, ensuring your frame arrives in the pristine condition intended.
- Fast & Reliable Reassurance: If the unexpected happens, I fix it fast. Local fulfilment means replacements and resolutions are handled within your region, providing you with total peace of mind.
- Fairer Shipping Rates: I pass the savings of local logistics directly to you, ensuring you pay for the quality of the art, not the cost of the fuel.
My Commitment: I combine the reach of a global artist with the care of a local studio. Better for the planet, better for the art, and better for you.
My art prints are designed using a tube map style layout that organises complex creative information into a clear, easy-to-follow visual format.
The design is built from detailed research and carefully verified sources, ensuring albums, films, characters, and creative connections are represented accurately and with purpose.
Printed to an archival standard for long-term display, this piece makes a thoughtful gift for music and film fans who appreciate informed design and lasting quality.
