Bad Robot Poster (Comic-Con 2010 Exclusive)
I created this poster for QMx and Bad Robot as an exclusive, limited-edition promotional giveaway at San Diego Comic-Con 2010. I painted the image digitally in Photoshop, then aged/distressed it to give the poster a worn look. The model itself was based on the collectible statue of the robot unveiled by QMx at the show.
This was a real treat to work on, but definitely made me anxious, as the Bad Robot mascot is such a well-known and beloved character. I wanted to do it justice and create an high-quality piece, but I didn’t want to lose that sense of whimsy that makes the robot so lovable. We had a pretty tight turnaround on this piece, but thankfully the studio seemed to think I nailed it, and signed off on the piece in time for Comic-Con.

Adam, this poster is incredible!. I love it!. Is there any place on-line to buy a print of this poster or to download it in high-quality?. Great poster, great artist!. All the best,
Sebastian
Thanks! Actually, it’s not available for sale. It was a promotional giveaway at Comic-Con, but I can see if we have any left over.
That would be great!. Thank you!.
My husband and I are HUGE JJ Abram’s fans and super-fans of the Bad Robot. We even have a robot Christmas tree with framed pictures of the bad robot logo on it. I was looking for a gift for my husband’s birthday and ran across this great poster. I absolutely love it. The art style is so amazing and I would love to give him one. Is there a chance you have any left over? I’d pay for it, shipping too. Totally love it. Thanks! elizabethbjensen@Yahoo.com
I don’t know if there are any left, but I’ll be going to the QMx offices on Thursday, and I’ll check.
I would love one of these posters as well!!!! I am a HUGE bad robot fan!!!
We’ll keep our fingers crossed!!!
@Elizabeth I know I’m keeping mine crossed! J.J. Abrams is my favorite director/producer, and Bad Robot has been behind all of my favorite movies and shows. I would be EXTREMELY happy if I got one of these!
@Matt and @Elizabeth, unfortunately, they didn’t have any left in the warehouse. I do have a few more places I can check, though, so don’t give up hope!
Any word Adam? I’m dying with anticipation. I have been refreshing this page every hour for the past week haha. Still have my fingers crossed!
@Matt, wow, good timing!
As I said, no luck at the warehouse, but I still have a few places I can look for them.
Thanks for checking for us! I won’t give up hope yet
! I will continue to watch this page like a hawk haha!
Just checking back, hoping to hear some good news!
Unfortunately, I’m still striking out. It was a pretty small print run. I put a call out to my twitter list to see if anyone picked up extra copies at Comic-Con.
No luck, eh? I was wondering if I could have your permission to print it out to frame since it’s coming-up a no-show? Do you think the resolution would be good enough to do that?
Technically, I can’t give you permission to do that, but I have heard rumblings about the potential for another print run. Don’t have any details (or confirmation that it’s a 100% sure thing) but I thought of you guys as soon as I heard, and I’ll definitely let you know when I hear more.
I totally understand, that’s why I asked first. If they do another print run, or you find one laying around somewhere I’ll be one happy girl. Thanks again! Sure love your art.
And if you found 2 I’d be one happy guy!
Don’t know how I missed out on this last year.
