    About the Book

    Edit

    The first DeepArt AI-based graphic novel memoir; a collection of 11 short stories touring eastern Europe on motorcycle in the early-mid 90s. Just freed from the shackles of Communism, it was a lawless place of freewheeling adventure, inconceivable schemes, illegal gun markets, high stakes speed chess games with mobsters, activism and psychedelics, a blessedly short stint in a Russian jail, cross border drug smuggling, to being drugged and robbed, and ultimately coming to terms with my own conservative Jewish upbringing. The artwork, like the story, evokes the stark beauty and drama of those transient years when democracy in Eastern Europe was evolving and the author was simultaneously coming into his own as an adult.

    Adam Trachtman
    Philadelphia, PA, 19103

    Adam was born in Philadelphia. He started playing chess with his grandfather when he was four. He was hooked. A few years later, his mom brought home a prototype macintosh from work, and once again he was addicted. When he wasn’t on the computer, he spent most of his time in his sketchbooks, which led him to Philadelphia’s Creative and Performing Arts High School and Tyler School of Arts. He left for Europe in 1994, and never looked back. A few years later, he founded a media division of Stillking Films, and started in the film industry. Five years later, he started a european division of LucidCircus. Some years later, he started teaching Animation/CGI at Prague Film School. His work has been featured in film festivals, exhibitions, and a variety of books and magazines. His Photography was most recently featured in the Czech National Gallery. Immersion is his first graphic novel.
