"Alejandro, Just got your mailing of 2 charts: post punk, and the NY scene. I'm thrilled w/ the NY scene because I was an active part of it. Your poster is a monumental contribution to the legacy of a city's burgeoning, grass roots, genre spanning musical explosion. I bought the poster as a gift for my friend who was in Sorrows and Wayne County." - James T.

"Alejandro, I just received the signed NY Poster. This has to be the best thing I have ever seen on this. Your detail is amazing and the layout is so compelling on the history and relationships! I can feel the music from the poster!" - Peter N.

"Thanks for putting my band Testors [1975, punk rock] on your history art. We are often overlooked and I wanted to say thanks!" - Sonny Vincent

This print traces three decades of downtown New York reinventing itself, from Andy Warhol's Factory scene and The Velvet Underground's confrontational art rock in the late 60s, through the mid-70s CBGB scene that gave rise to the Ramones' stripped-down blueprint for punk, Television's more musically ambitious take on the same club, Patti Smith's fusion of poetry and rock and roll, and Talking Heads and Blondie's respective routes from CBGB into art rock and new wave stardom.

The map continues into no wave's deliberately abrasive response to punk's own commercialisation, tracing acts like Sonic Youth and Lydia Lunch, before crossing into a genuinely different world entirely: the birth of hip hop in the Bronx, where DJ Kool Herc's block parties and Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash's turntable innovations built an entirely new musical language from scratch. New York hardcore and thrash metal round out the later decades, tracing a city whose scenes rarely overlapped geographically but shared the same restless, do-it-yourself instinct.

Who’s Behind The Sense of Doubt ?

I’m Alejandro De Luna, the creator behind The Sense of Doubt; a solo studio in Madrid making wall art inspired by music, pop culture, and heritage. What began as a way to make sense of the records, places, and stories that shaped my life has grown into a visual archive that connects moods, history, and art.

I research, design, and hand-sign every piece myself in small batches, and today more than 10,000 art lovers in over 20 countries have my prints on their walls. People describe the work as “brilliantly researched,” “put together with great care,” and “a true labour of love.” That’s exactly what it is; no shortcuts, just me doing the work because I love it.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 654 reviews.

Very well Packaged and quick delivery. The artist had contacted me regarding his change of working location and was able to assist me in bringing able to reorder my selected choice of works. I was a Vacation whilst the item arrived, hence my delayed feedback, but it had been packaged so well it was safe and secure! Unpacked it looks amazing - so happy! Thank you Alejandro!

Creation Records: Key LPs, Singles & Compilations

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for the kind words, Jane. I really appreciate it. Just to share, The Sense of Doubt isn’t actually a company; it’s a one-man project that I run myself. So feedback like yours genuinely means a lot and helps keep the whole thing going. I’m really glad you liked the print, thanks again for your support. Alejandro

I bought this as a gift for my husband and using the ups tracker I noticed there was an issue at customs. I reached out to Alejandro who chased this up promptly ensuring I received the gift. Perfect customer service and over an above response in getting my gift to the UK. 10/10 professionalism and my husband loves his surprise!!!

Customer photo review of Joy Division - Songwriting History (1977 - 1980)

This is the most amazing poster! The design sensibility that went into this is so impressive and as an avid Joy Division fan, I'm thrilled that someone had the vision, dedication and INSIGHT to put this together. Alejandro is an inimitable talent!

Joy Division - Songwriting History (1977 - 1980)

I've bought several different items from Sense of Doubt and keep returning for more. Great quality product and excellent communication.

Custom Setlist Print - Any Band or Artist

What a great print and it came in a reasonable amount of time considering it was international. But can't wait to frame it and hang it in the house. Thanks again!

U2 - Studio Albums & Singles (1979 - 2024)

What a great print and it came in a reasonable amount of time considering it was international. But can't wait to frame it and hang it in the house. Thanks again!

Joy Division - Songwriting History (1977 - 1980)

Brought as a gift so not actually seen finished outcome but recipient happy. Very expensive really for what it is...couldn't afford to get a frame as well which is a shame. Delivery was really long - ordered on 5th, received on 24th... Unable to add gift message. Recipient happy, but overall wouldn't order from this company again as not worth cost and time

Sheffield Music History

Store owner replied: Dear Ruth, Thank you for supporting my work and for taking the time to leave a review – it’s very much appreciated. I’m very sorry that your experience wasn’t quite what you expected, and I’d love to take a moment to clarify a few things: The Sense of Doubt isn’t a company in the traditional sense – it’s actually a one-man project, run entirely by me. Everything you see, from the research and design to packing and shipping, is done personally by me with care and attention, and each print comes is hand-signed. As for the delay in receiving your Sheffield print, it was temporarily out of stock at the time of your order. While I did mention this on the website, I understand that it might have been missed – Sorry about that. Occasionally, there can also be delivery delays due to customs clearance, which is unfortunately out of my hands but still frustrating, I know. There is an option to add a gift message, which can be found in the cart drawer before checkout – but I’ll definitely look into making that clearer for the future. Thanks again for your support and thoughtful feedback – it helps keep this project going. Sincerely, Alejandro

Thank you for all the efforts, logistics and support in delivering my package in Romania.
