**Prompt:**

At the top of the illustration image: "Happy Reelin’ in the Years, Uncle Iain!"

Create a surreal illustration showing an eccentric white-haired, bearded man sitting on a levitating vintage armchair in the middle of a winding, sky-blue river that cuts through layers of earth like a sliced cake—each layer revealing strange, glittering archaeological finds: golden fossils of rubber ducks, ancient fish-shaped coins, dinosaur-shaped party hats, and long-lost birthday balloons fossilized in amber.

The man—Uncle Iain—is fishing not for fish, but for artifacts with a fishing rod whose line stretches impossibly into a whirlpool-shaped birthday cake. A school of fish skeletons wear monocles and party hats, leaping from the water. Clouds shaped like giant candles drift lazily in a cotton-candy sky.

Behind him, instead of trees, giant forks and spoons grow like plants along the riverbank. A quirky cake-layered mountain rises in the background with ancient ruins atop it—a stone birthday throne carved with the number of his age (perhaps mysteriously cracked).

Make the colors whimsical but with soft dreamlike tones, giving it an otherworldly birthday adventure feel—part fantasy, part fossil dig, part festive fun.

Generated with these themes: White haired man with a beard Fishing river archaeology.
