MIAMI BULL
The Miami Crypto Bull, a large cybernetic bull statue. stands finished in the Onyx Forge shop. Its horns are a brassy gold, its body appears like sleek black metal plating, and its eyes glow a bright blue. A large metal armature, the internal structure of the bull, standing in the Hotstrike Scene shop. Next to the bull is our kick-ass welder Vimi.

We're here to make a statement, and to support other artists in doing the same. We routinely fabricate complex sculptures for creatives across the country. In our many years as a fabricator we’ve learned how to build gravity defying spectacles and dynamic structures.

The Miami Bull was created through a collaboration with our longtime friends at Onyx Forge. This build was a feat of engineering, and required extensive prototyping to achieve its dynamic pose and illusion of momentum. Hotstrike Studio handled all internal engineering and steel fabrication, providing Onyx Forge the armature for their stunning fiberglass exterior.
