In early 2025, multidisciplinary artist Frances Cannon (who uses they/them pronouns) suffered with some serious artistic block, and it was affecting both their confidence and their income. Cannon’s artwork is well-known online and they have been sharing their celebratory, whimsical and inclusive digital pieces via social media for about a decade.
Cannon posted about their art block to their nearly 180,000 Instagram followers in the form of a slide show of drawings. “I’m having terrible art block – usually I can snap out of it pretty quick/but right now I feel so stuck/and like everything I make is silly/but I have to remember it’s all part of the process/and the muse will come back to me when she’s ready,” the tiles read.
