The front cover of this quirky and creative birthday card for Euan is a vibrant explosion of color and imagination, blending the themes of lacrosse, chemistry, and the distinguished atmosphere of the Inorganic Chemistry laboratory at Oxford University. At the center of the scene, a whimsical lacrosse stick is suspended in mid-air, its shaft whimsically winding and twisting like a serpent. The head of the stick morphs into a beaker filled with bubbling, multi-colored chemicals, reminiscent of Pollock's splatters. The chemicals fizz and pop with vivid hues, some forming small, abstract shapes in a nod to Kandinsky's playful geometries.

In the background, a lattice of oxford blue and bright yellow Mondrian-esque lines create an abstract representation of the renowned Oxford skyline. Among these lines, de Kooning-like swirls and splashes suggest the structured chaos of an academic environment. A Rothko-inspired block of deep crimson at the top left corner of the card provides a bold contrast, grounding the scene.

Floating above this energetic mix, Euan's name appears in the clouds, crafted with wispy strokes that echo Cy Twombly’s loopy calligraphic style. The letters of his name are interwoven with subtle, silver chemical formulas, representing the inorganic chemistry theme. To the right, a Joan Miró-like whimsical cake sits atop a lab bench, adorned with twinkling candle-like test tubes. The cake is shaped like a chemistry flask, with frosting in metallic shades reminiscent of beakers and vials.

A playful touch is added by a small, cartoonish representation of an Oxford scholar in the bottom left corner, energetically tossing lacrosse balls that morph into atomic models as they arc across the scene, their trajectory outlined in delicate Agnes Martin-style grids.

This entire scene is a vibrant, imaginative celebration of Euan's birthday, bringing together the eclectic elements of lacrosse and chemistry in a joyful, abstracted Oxford setting.
