Hi, I'm Miriam Bos, an illustrator with a love for happy and colorful things. I have this little obsession with package designs, specifically when they’re vintage tin cans.
October is a month for all kinds of creative challenges on Instagram, so I decided to jump the bandwagon and create a challenge of my own that I called #tincantober.
Originally, I started painting the vintage tin cans from my private collection. But then the project began to lead its own life and now I find myself painting tin cans that I wished existed for real.
Come and join me on Instagram!
