“It’s a Saturday night in the Mission District, and in a converted Garage on 17th Street a youngish crowd is drinking Trumer Pils beer and talking about mixing pigments. On one wall hangs an oil painting of “Sesame Street’s” Count seducing a naked woman; on another is a machine gun decorated with the Louis Vuitton Logo. But the most positive buzz in the room seems directed at a portrait of a big eyed man and woman looking like the bohemian version of “American Gothic,” Adorned with a fanciful neon sign that says “SERENDIPITY.” It’s by Michael Krouse, an artist.”
