Love surfing? Me too! I began surfing five years ago and fell in love. I especially fell in love with small waves. There's nothing wrong with preferring little waves to big ones.

FAQ's
What is a lino print?
A lino print is a form of traditional printmaking where an image is hand-carved into a linoleum block, inked by hand, and then printed onto paper. Each design begins as an original illustration before being carefully carved and printed in my Surf Coast studio.
Are your surf prints handmade?
Yes. Every lino print is hand-carved and hand-printed by me in Torquay on Victoria's Surf Coast. This hands-on process means each print carries its own unique character and craftsmanship.
Is every print exactly the same?
No. Because each print is made by hand, there may be slight variations in ink coverage, texture, and detail. These subtle differences are part of what makes original lino prints special and unique.
So it may not look exactly as it does in the listing photos, but very similar.
Are your prints signed?
Yes. Each lino print is signed by hand.
Do your surf prints come framed?
Most prints are sold unframed unless otherwise stated. Please check the product description for framing details. If you wish to discuss framing options please get in touch at info@ahkiillustration.com
What sizes are available?
My lino prints are available in a range of sizes from A5 to A2. Available sizes are listed on each product page.
If you have a certain print you love but it isn't available in the size you are after, please get in touch: info@ahkiillustration.com
What is the difference between a lino print and a digital print?
A lino print is a handmade artwork created using a traditional printmaking process. Each design is carefully carved by hand into a lino block, then inked and printed onto paper by hand. Because of this process, every print has its own subtle variations and unique character.
A digital print, on the other hand, is produced by printing a digital image file using a printer. While digital prints can beautifully reproduce artwork, each copy is mechanically identical.
One of the things I love most about lino printing is the human touch involved in every stage of the process. From carving the block to rolling the ink and pulling each print, every piece reflects the craftsmanship and creativity of traditional printmaking. The result is an artwork that feels authentic, tactile, and truly one of a kind.

Let customers speak for us
What a wonderful workshop on lino printing! Emily is a delightful, warm and helpful teacher who shared not only the basic techniques of lino printing with us but also her love of the medium. I walked away with a great memory of the workshop experience, a finished lino print of my very own, and the inspiration to do more lino printing! Thanks Emily
We had the loveliest time at Emily's lino workshop. We all chose different designs, worked at different rates, with varying ability and Emily was able to guide us all through the process! Quite a feat!
Beautiful space to create in. We were rapt with our finished prints. Id never tried lino before and loved it!
Absolutely LOVED the Lino workshop! Emily was an amazing and warm facilitator, the space was lovely, and it was really rewarding learning a new skill and having prints to take home. Thanks Emily!
Our lino cutting class was such a fun experience. We went with the family (including young kids) and Em was able to provide a suitable option for everyone. The instructions were clear and made it easy to follow and we all left extremely happy with our prints! 10/10 would recommend if you want to pick up a fun new artistic hobby
The lino and printmaking course was absolutely fantastic. We had a large group booking as part of a family weekend away and Emily was warm, helpful and made the whole experience really fun. We all came away feeling super proud of what we created. Highly recommend!
In 3 hrs, I created a lovely artwork and I didn’t need to bring a thing, as everything was supplied (including tea & biccies). Thanks Emily for the warm welcome and fabulous support. ..Mary

It was a fabulous morning with Emily from Ahki Illustration! She took us through the whole process of printing, from coming up with a design, to the final printed product. Printmaking is a really fun art form and with Emily’s gentle guidance, we all walked away feeling really proud of what we’d created! Highly recommend!

Gorgeous picture of a Koala wearing a Christmas hat, sitting in the fork of a eucalyptus tree. I've chosen this card to send to my Koala loving friend in Rhode Island, USA. Good sized and great quality.
