"At some point, each artist is faced with a decision: Find soul or meaning, or find exponential growth? Most often, these two paths do not play well together."

2025 was a year of showing up for creativity, for print, and for each other.

From photo walks in New York and London to art book fairs in Paris and Bangkok, we spent the year connecting with photographers, artists, and bookmakers who believe in the power of printed work. We met longtime Blurb creators, new faces, and everyone in between—and we’re endlessly inspired by the creative community.

Here’s to more stories, more connection, and more time spent making things together. ✨ 📚

In "Norway: A New Perspective on Landscape," photographer Axel Belot captures the country's raw, unaltered beauty, inviting viewers to slow down and appreciate landscapes that feel almost untouched.

Rooted in his love for 19th-century landscape painters, impressionists, luminists, and the mood of music and cinema, this album blends art history with personal discovery.

"As a photographer, it's essential to be able to preserve your work on paper, especially in an increasingly dematerialized world," Belot shares. "Through the prism of the albums, I hope to be able to take these travel memories with me, share them with friends and family, as well as observe an evolution in my photographic work over the years."

What happens when architectural documentary film meets print? A sold-out run!

Filmmaker and photographer Elena Tibbetts has spent years documenting D.C.’s historic homes—and her new book, "Architectural Guide of Washington, D.C.," was so popular you'll have to wait for the next print run to get your hands on it.

"The response has honestly been humbling and spectacular," Tibbets shares. "I've had multiple invitations for book signing events and was able to get copies in museums, book stores, and cultural institutions."

Backed by a successful Kickstarter, the project shows what happens when preservation, design, and craft converge on the page.

In this Behind the Book, Tibbetts talks about translating film to print, marketing a book, and the advice she has for other creators (like you).
