**Prompt for the illustration image:**

A surreal birthday-themed illustration of a whimsical dreamscape where a silver-haired, short-bearded man (Uncle Iain) sits at the edge of a massive ammonite shell that spirals into the clouds like a galaxy. He's wearing a bright yellow fishing hat covered in miniature trilobites and is casting a fishing rod—not into water, but into a flowing river of time made of clocks and calendars that twist through a canyon of eroded dinosaur bones. Strange fossilized creatures leap like fish through the temporal river, and some even have balloons tied to them with “Happy Birthday” banners in prehistoric script. The sky is candy-coloured and peppered with floating birthday cakes shaped like ancient stones. Fossil-shaped balloons drift lazily overhead, and in the background, a giant smiling moon holds up a banner that says, “Keep digging for the fun!” The style is whimsically surreal, painterly with bold textures, intricate linework, and a palette of soft pastels mixed with rich earthy tones.

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