Notable work

Neurotica 1998 - 2001

Originally Han's Neurotica series was a comic strip which he described as a "ongoing self-portrait" that chronicled his life as an artist during the mid-1990's. It was during this time that he decided to adapt his Neurotica idea for the internet and began publishing Modern Living Neurotica on his own website first as Animated Gif's and later using Macromedia's Flash which introduced his first attempt at creating interactive art media. The series later concluded in 2001 when the 100th episode was published.

Online flash animations

Hoogerbrugge also created a short interactive animation titled "Flow" on albinoblacksheep.com. The music was made by Wiggle.[1]

Hotel 2004 - 2006

Hotel was created for SubmarineChannel and debuted in 2004 on its own website. The series has an interactive Flash-based story which follows Dr. Doglin as he tries out strange experiments with volunteer subjects. This is contrasted with a comic strip which is released with each episode which seems to be a prequel which will lead up to the first Flash-based episode. The final episode of the series was released in May 2006. There is also a fake website here which is supposed to be Dr. Doglin's own website which has an ad for volunteers.

NAILS

Nails was begun in 2002 and is still going in 2007. It consists of a series of interactive flash shorts, that are reminiscent of the original Neurotica series, with him featuring prominently as the main character.

Pro Stress

Han's latest series is a collaboration with writer Paul A. Hall called Pro Stress. The series began on August 28 2006 and ended October 13, 2006 after seven 'episodes'. A Pro Stress pill box was also released in a limited edition of 8 and is available from Han's website.

Music Videos

Hoogerbrugge has made a number of promotional videos for music acts, including "Landslide" by Dead Man Ray and, in 2007, "You've got to...", "Your music is killing me" and "Wake up, make up, bring it up, shake up" by The Young Punx.
