G'day, I'm Laureen - the creative behind Something Cool Art

I'm a 30-something Kiwi/Aussie mum, weirdly creative, with an unhealthy obsession with True Crime (don't show me horror movies though - too scary!).

How Something Cool Art started

Something Cool Art was born during my maternity leave - an escape from the daily panic attacks that came with Post Partum depression and anxiety. What started as a creative outlet became something I never expected: a thriving little Aussie small business that I get to run every single day.

By the end of 2020, I made the decision not to return to employment. Instead, I stayed home with my son and kept doing what I love - creating silly, sweary, joyful artworks and selling them to whoever would listen.

I never would have thought this would be what I get to do every day - and I absolutely love it!

What we make

Every single design at Something Cool Art is 100% original - created by me, for you. Whether it's a pair of socks, a tee, or something in between, you won't find these designs anywhere else.

Our white socks are made to order right here in Australia - printed fresh with vibrant sublimated designs that won't crack, peel, or fade. Everything else is carefully manufactured for me, but always to my own spec and always featuring my original artwork. No mass-produced generic rubbish - just quality, original, cheeky goods with a whole lot of personality.
