Russ Gossett Illustration Antique cars, exotic hotels, and the gritty streets of Allston

What do you get when you combine an NPR digital product designer with the co-owner of a clothing company, and an adjunct professor at AIB? Aside from a hilarious sitcom, you get Russ Gossett, who, when not working those other jobs, creates a detailed mixed-media assemblage of intricately penned antique cars, faraway hotels, and stark street-view scenes from around the Hub.

Signage America
Do the opposite of what Billy Ocean wants, and get out of the car and onto the edgy arteries of Allston via highlighted scenes of Cambridge & North Beacon Streets, Allston Alley, and even a digital drypoint that depicts a young boy looking at an information kiosk/ city map and is titled Lost in Boston, also a spinoff series in which Jack and the group find themselves crash landed on a beach in Southie, and must find their way back to the Red Line without taking the Number 9 bus (Spoiler Alert: No one survives).

Legendary Cars
For "Automobiles You'd Probably Have To Kill An Extremely Rich Guy To See In Person", there's 10 classic rides ranging from an 8x10in blue 1954-'57 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Coupe, to a space-agey 1937-'38 Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic, to a Lamborghini Miura, to a bold purple 1966 Ferrari P3/4.

Exotic Hotels
Or flat-out ditch Comm Ave to vicariously jetset around the globe through his series of "difficult to access" hotels (complete with lat/ longitude) like Hotel Arctic in Greenland, Nepal's Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge, and the Gobi Desert's Three Camels, which, despite just featuring them all standing there not drinking water, would still be a significantly more hilarious sitcom than Whitney.
