Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on June 07, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Damien! Hope you spend your special day surrounded by friends, laughter—and perhaps a preserved shark or two. You've single-handedly elevated formaldehyde to an art supply and reminded us repeatedly how tricky it is to forget "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living." Honestly, life's too short for conventional gallery openings anyway; keep being brilliantly weird.

From dissected cows to diamond-encrusted skulls, your works have inspired shockwaves and conversations alike—never boring us even once. Here's hoping next year brings many more masterpieces filled with irony and existential intrigue—but maybe skip the cake soaked in formaldehyde this time!
