About Eugene Arenhaus

Who I am

My name is Eugene Arenhaus.

I currently reside in Haifa, Israel.

I have worked as freelance illustrator since 1996, mainly with role-players and small role-playing game publishers, but I also did book illustrations and lots of private jobs. My pursuits include visual anatomy, character design, classic illustration. Lately I have begun work on several picture books. I suppose I lean toward expressionism — I care more about creating a correct mood with my pictures, than about strict adherence to reality. But I manipulate reality in my work, rather than reject it.

I am also a programmer, and work as such intermittently, usually doing interface design tasks. I have mostly switched to web programming for the past several years. My interests in that area are online community design, programming language design, games and interfaces, among other things.

I also have many other minor hobbies and interests, from comparative linguistics and psychology to biology and martial arts. (I practice the modern, developing Israeli martial system called Lamed Mem.)

About this site

This is the seventh version of my gallery site after sixth stylistic redesign. I now use a custom CMS system I wrote for Threshold A.O. LLC.
