this is literally the first time i’ve seen this meme with the artist’s signature not blurred or cropped, so I looked him up and learned that he is Genildo Ronchi, a 56 year old Brazilian artist. He created this on his birthday in 2013 after changing his usual seat in his bus ride home and realizing he had a much nicer scenary to look at from the sunset-facing seat.
Genildo said in an interview that he is happy to see his piece doing the rounds on the web, but adds: “[the piece] being turned into a meme is great for sharing my work, but it’s important that you keep my signature.”
