Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on August 04, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Allan! Just like your iconic "Perfect Vehicles," you're timeless—never aging (at least conceptually!) and consistently intriguing. While the rest of us frantically colored outside our surrogate paintings' lines in frustration, you gracefully elevated simplicity to artful perfection.

As we celebrate your big day, here's hoping life's gallery keeps expanding with laughter-filled moments that are anything but conceptual. You've brilliantly turned everyday objects into masterpieces—but today let yourself become the exhibit: a masterpiece who's appreciated for being wonderfully real!

Cheers to another year of inspired creations—and remember: getting older is just adding valuable provenance to an already priceless original!
