FAQs
-
No! All of my prints are produced and shipped domestically - from the USA & EUROPE (or from the UK for local orders). That means you won’t encounter any hidden tariffs, customs fees, or import duties. The price you see at checkout is the final price you’ll pay - no surprises.
-
No. Every map is researched and created entirely by hand. I spend hours digging into studio credits, recording sessions, and historical sources, and sometimes with input from band members and session artists, and then carefully build each map digitally in my CAD layout software (not Illustrator, that's too sensible). My favourite bit, apart from seeing everything connected, is cutting in the curves on each line's corner! It’s a design process rooted in research, precision, and a on-the-spectrum kind of passion - not automation!
-
Each map is meticulously researched from verified album credits, archival releases, and trusted sources. While every effort is made for accuracy, occasional errors can happen - and I always welcome feedback or corrections from fans and collectors.

"AWESOME" WARREN ELLIS
"After years of designing exhibitions and shows, I realised the same design logic could make sense of music history - transforming complex discographies into visual stories people can instantly understand."

"These aren’t fan sketches; they’re data-visualised archives. Every musician, artist, and recording date has been cross-checked against official credits, sometimes with musician inputs, to ensure accuracy."
ABOUT MAP & SHOW DESIGNER MIKE BELL
Mike Bell Maps is a collection of music maps and visual discographies created by designer and researcher Mike Bell in East Sussex. Each artwork transforms the stories of bands, films, and cultural movements into beautifully designed art prints that blend research, design, and storytelling.
With roots in live sound and 3D show design, Mike brings the precision of stage craft and the passion of a music insider to every map. What began during lockdown as a creative experiment quickly became a global project - turning complex discographies and histories into clear, visually striking maps that invite exploration.
Each Mike Bell Map is a tube-style journey through culture: albums as stations, musicians as connecting lines, stories unfolding across decades. From The Fall’s ever-changing line-ups to cinematic storylines and political histories, these prints reveal the hidden connections behind the music and moments we love.
Now an international art print brand shipping worldwide, Mike Bell Maps continues to merge accuracy with artistry - creating pieces that spark curiosity, inspire conversation, and celebrate the legacies that define modern culture.
Ready to explore culture through a different lens? Browse the collection and join the journey.
"Every map begins with hours of research. I build each one from raw session data, album credits, and verified sources, turning what’s normally hidden in liner notes into something beautifully visible and interconnected."
