Discover the Artist Phillip Banks and His Viral 'Chill Guy' Meme

The "Chill Guy" or "I'm just a chill guy" meme features a simple, hand-drawn anthropomorphic dog dressed in casual attire and sporting a smirk.

Phillip, an artist from North Carolina has created the "Chill Guy" meme. In a Q&A from October 2023 on X, he described the character as a laid-back figure who "lowkey didn’t care."

An artwork shared on X went viral and has since entered the crypto market as a meme coin, skyrocketing by over 538% in just a few days. Now, the artist behind the 'Chill Guy' image, also known as the 'My Character' meme, Phillip Banks, is taking legal action to enforce the copyright on the image.

It looks like Banks, the internet personality, announced on November 21 that he will be enforcing copyright protection on the image of the "Chill Guy." In his post on X (formerly Twitter), he mentioned that he has officially copyrighted the image and intends to take action against any for-profit use of it without permission.

This announcement likely refers to Banks' attempt to protect his intellectual property, especially if others have been using the "Chill Guy" image in commercial or promotional contexts without his consent.

(Copyright protection for such images is a common move for creators and influencers to safeguard their unique content.)
