**Prompt:**

At the top of the illustration image, *Happy Fossil-Fishing Birthday, Uncle Iain – reel in the years before they go extinct!*

A surreal illustrated scene set in a dreamlike prehistoric oceanscape. A silver-bearded man with striking white hair (Uncle Iain) is standing in a tiny rowboat that's somehow floating atop layers of rock strata like a geologist's dream cake. He's fishing—not for fish—but for fossils: ammonites, trilobites, even a dino tooth or two dangling from his hook. Around him, giant fish skeletons swim through the air, and clouds are shaped like ancient bones. In the background, a volcano oozes out candles instead of lava. Nearby, a fossilized birthday cake juts out of a cliffside, complete with stone cherries and rock-hard frosting. The mood is whimsically weird, with vivid colors, impossible physics, and a hint of scientific daydreaming.

Generated with these themes: Man with white hair and short white beard fishing and looking for fossils.
