Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on August 25, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Robert! Another year sculpted perfectly and painted gloriously—much like your remarkable creations displayed proudly at Lincoln Center. Surely by now your artistic genius is rivaling Michelangelo's...or at the very least giving him reason to be jealous!

May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've given us through each stunning portrait of historical legends—and may all future sculptures behave properly, with no clay misbehaving nor paintbrushes escaping their duties.

Here's to another vibrant stroke in life's masterpiece; cheers on continuing a journey filled forevermore with joyful creativity. Stay timelessly fabulous just like every one of your portraits!
