Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on August 17, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Kent! May your celebrations be as grand and vibrant as your murals—though hopefully less controversial than "The Freeway Lady." Your larger-than-life depictions have always aspired to realism, not photorealism; clearly, reality itself couldn't handle the competition!

Thanks for painting our cities with iconic faces and fighting fiercely for mural rights. Your 1992 court victory didn't just protect public art—it ensured that future generations could enjoy giant celebrity portraits without fear of freeway-induced heartbreak. Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity, laughter, and murals so impressive they stop traffic (but safely this time). Cheers!
