This mural was painted in the span of a few days on a wall only a block up from the central square in Athens, where the Greek Parliament is situated and all the recent protests took place. Today the scaffolding was removed and I was able to snap some photos. The piece is an apt symbol for the current state of affairs in Greece as well as an artistic feat in its own right - I always thought the TV-test card was a catchy cult-logo whose potential has yet to be mined.
The spot is a popular one and it has been painted before. Check out this older 'three little pigs' themed mural on the same wall:
