North Inlet: NYE Oysters (Blue)

Celebrate Lowcountry tradition with New Year’s Eve Oysters, an original linocut print by Laurie McIntosh. A basket brimming with oysters sits above bold North Inlet lettering—an homage to salty air, local rituals, and the simple joy of gathering around a steaming pile of shells. Rendered in rich blue ink with Laurie’s signature line work, this piece captures both place and memory in striking graphic form.

Perfect for kitchens, oyster lovers, or anyone who knows the magic of a South Carolina New Year’s Eve.

Laurie creates her linocut reductions using a bold, hands-on process that mirrors her dynamic approach to art. Working from a single block of linoleum, she carves the image in reverse, inks it with one color, and prints it onto paper. Then she carves away more of the block, inks again in a new color, and prints the next layer—building the image step by step. Because each layer removes part of the block permanently, there's no going back—an all-in method often called “suicide printing.” It’s fearless, layered, and full of energy—just like Laurie’s work.
