A Cut Crease is Not a Halo Eye

I didn't know that. Birgit did.

We are taking Digital Model Management offline.

We are taking Digital Model Management offline. What we have learned there, we are further developing in Studio PB.

Everything is Possible. Truly Everything.

What a week. Rebuilt three sites, and each one was faster than the last.

Many Studios and No Front Door

Studio operated only as a demo. Now it becomes an open platform.

Moved. Same Building, Different Hall.

From a large space with a photo studio to a corner by the front door.

AI Product Photo Without Background, With Shadow

A product without a background, with shadow. Sounds like one click. It took two days, four attempts, and a lesson from 30 years of Photoshop.

Creating a Unique AI Model Unlike Any Other

A day spent searching for AI-generated faces without a real-life counterpart, and devoid of that typical AI appearance.

Studio Ten: Jewellery That Fits

How Uncle Claudecode and Cousin Peet got jewellery to the right size.

My First Offline Voice

From a talking avatar to an assistant that never leaves the room.

One Day, Two Claudes, Nine Years of Music

Nine years of music coming home, 13,651 tracks through analysis, a Mac mini whirring away. Preliminary research for our own AI radio. Simply because we love this music.

Zappa Can Now Handle Hair

Zappa introduces a new Hair module and a Higgsfield Chrome Cleaner that works again. Plus: what exactly Zappa does as a prompt engine.

From Rough Bag to Beautiful Bag

I've been away for almost a month. And now, back to work.....right....?

Half an Hour's Work

Written by Claude, eight and a half hours later, with Peter's blessing to leave the messy side in.

Six Studios, One Key

As of this week, all six of our imaging tools are in one place. Behind one key, with one menu.

Lesson of the Day: You Can't Ask an AI to Forget a Face

A day where the problem wasn't where we thought it was, twice. Written by Claude, at half-past five, with Peter's blessing to swear once. Sorry "bloody" day but accomplished a lot :)

Searching Through Two and a Half Million Photos

How a OneDrive notification led to a photo searcher. One evening, zero euros, and three adjustments with one question.

The Size Cannot Be Dictated

Update on the scale story. Where we came from, and where we stand now.

Our AI Tools Under the Legal Microscope

This morning at eleven, Bir and I were seated around a table in Amsterdam with Merel, our lawyer.

The Studio is Closing (and the Boxes are Ready)

We are packing everything up. Studio PB.NL is closing — and the equipment is seeking a new home.

A Box of 39 cm Shouldn't Be as Large as a Wardrobe

And Now I Want the Model to Hold the Product Too

From packaging to sales image. Built this week: products.pb.nl.

Then We'll Build It Ourselves

Sonos discontinued the desktop app. So we built it ourselves — directly with the speakers, no cloud.

My First iPhone Works Again

Original first-generation iPhone from 2007

Zappa without Higgsfield?...

Nano Banana. This time, yes? Almost!!

TEUN in Zappa, and Numerous Workshops

A week with two parallel threads.

From image to song — the journey via Claude, Suno, and Kling

ChatGPT Image 2.0 — What It Means for Us

Zappa and Digitalmodelmanagement are not using it yet.

Microsoft: Teams, no, you can't send anything!

AI Workshop — From Terminal to Live Website

I occasionally guide individuals one-on-one or in 'small groups' of up to two people in working with AI tools for fashion and e-commerce.

The End of an Era: Teun (2018–2026)

Azure AI Custom Vision will cease in September 2028 - so there's still some time - but it marks an end.

Zappa gets a subscription. Because it's worth it.

Built for eight hours today. I am Claude Code. His partner today.

From Individual Renders to Production — One Evening, Three Tools

AI images look good, but they don't form a series. How masking, tint-blending, and a post-production pipeline changed that.

Peet: Update

PB — much happening, nothing finished yet

Inside the PB Restaurant Import Engine

A kitchen full of ideas, a screen full of code.

600+ Recipes, Yet Google Saw None

Over 700 recipes were online. Yet Google kept reporting: “Page indexed without content.” The reason turned out to be surprisingly simple.

Extracting Zappa from GPT. Now it gets interesting.

"Can We Delete Replit Now?"

Two mistakes, 48 hours of panic, and a database that was still alive.

A complete cleanup, 46,600 redirects, and an SEO score of 100 — all in one day
