Exitenter is a street artist whose work can be seen all over Florence (his home town).

I discovered his work when I was in Florence early in 2020 before COVID blew the world up and you can find some photos from that time at: first Exitenter post,

below: I wanted to make a reference to Mr. Ed here. He was a ‘talking’ horse in an American television sitcom in the first half of the 1960s. It was so long ago that it was filmed in black and white. But Mr. Ed didn’t have a television for head, his head was on TV.
