RoboCop Metallic Movie Poster Screen Print by Mike Bryan x Justin Ishmael x Bottleneck Gallery

RoboCop Metallic Movie Poster Screen Print by Mike Bryan x Justin Ishmael x Bottleneck Gallery

Here’s some really cool news Justin Ishmael dropped on his Instagram page yesterday! The classic RoboCop theatrical one sheet movie poster from the ‘80s is not a photograph but a hyper-realistic painting by artist Mike Bryan. Ishmael teamed up with Bottleneck Gallery to track the original painting down, scan it and turn it into a beautiful new metallic screen print! You can see in the photo below Ishmael with the framed original RoboCop painting.

As Ishmael explained, “This photo is me with the framed original art and it was beautiful (and massive)! You can trust that this will be unlike any other poster out there and will hopefully allow you to see new details as a clean version of the painting hasn't been available before!” For this release there will be a Movie Poster Edition and an Art Print Edition, along with Metallic Variants of both editions, and all four versions feature metallic paper variants.

Thanks to Slashfilm we now know more about this release: RoboCop by Mike Bryan is a 24”x36” hand numbered screen print with metallic inks. The Regular Movie Poster Edition will be a timed edition available for 24 hours that retails for $50, while the Metallic Variant Movie Poster Edition will be printed on silver foil paper, limited to 150 pieces and will retail for $75.

The Art Print Edition is limited to 150 pieces and retails for $75, while the Metallic Variant Art Print will be printed on silver foil paper, limited to just 75 pieces, and will retail for $85. All four versions will go on sale at 12pm EST today, Tuesday, March 19th, at the Bottleneck Gallery online store.
