Moonbow Miraculous

Moonbow Miraculous

by Kirk Shimano

“If someone has a secret they’ve been clutching to their heart, the moonbow’s glow will give them the courage to share their true selves”

Moonbow Miraculous is a series of vignettes exploring the theme of coming out, reflecting the infinite diversity of experience by adding everything from robots to talking donuts into the mix.

It’s a celebration of choices, courage, and the joy of self discovery.
