Hi! I go by Eldee Larose — but spoiler alert: that’s not my real name. “Eldee” is a nickname my classmates gave me back in varsity (I think it stuck because it’s way simpler than my actual name. Maybe? No idea), and “Larose” came from a game that helped me through a difficult depression phase. That game helped me hit the reset button and start over with a clearer head — and a new name. Since then, Eldee Larose has been my creative identity, and I’ve been quietly building this little world of curious, heartfelt, and sometimes hilarious artistic expressions. So here I am. Still anonymous, still weird, still creating.
I make these creative works because I love it. I share it because I just…have to. And I keep my identity secret because:
1. Mystery is fun.
2. Privacy is peace.
3. My real life still pays the bills (for now).
Here’s the deal: I would like to keep this project alive. All I’m hoping for is to raise a total of $90 per year (yep, not a typo, just $90) to help cover the small but real costs of keeping this creative ship sailing(tools, hosting, tea, emotional snacks, the usual).
How to support:
If you’d like to pitch in, awesome — thank you. Every dollar helps.
BUT — if you don’t want to or can’t donate, it’s totally cool. You can still sign up, hang out, and enjoy my content for free. Really. I mean it. No guilt trips, no sad puppy eyes, no snivelling.
Just one thing I ask, whether you donate or not:
Send me your thoughts. What do you want more of? What made you smile? What made you cringe? Want to suggest an idea or call me out on a disaster piece? Want to offer encouragement, or tell me a joke? Go for it. Reach me at: eldee@eldeelarose.com
If you’ve read this far, congrats: you’ve officially supported my craft already!
Thank you for being part of this tiny, growing world. Whether you donate, share, or just quietly read — It all adds up. Your support means more than you know.

P.S. One day, when my creative expressions pay better than my day job, maybe I’ll do a dramatic face reveal. With memes and steamed dumplings. Or not. Who knows.
