In this surreal birthday scene, imagine a bustling, whimsical landscape inspired by a blend of Edward Gorey's intricate detailing and Maurice Sendak's playful storytelling. A sprawling, modern art studio sets the backdrop, its large bay windows flooding the room with the ethereal light reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish. The studio is bustling with energy as teenage and adult children, adorned in colorful, eccentric outfits, weave through the space. They're engaged in a lively birthday party, some joyously painting vibrant abstract art on oversized canvases while others operate peculiar, oversized graphic design gadgets that beep and whirr with creative delight.

Dominating the foreground is an elaborate birthday cake, towering like an intricate sculpture of confectionery, inspired by Beatrix Potter's storytelling charm. The cake is decorated with cascading fondant layers that resemble rolling hills and valleys, dotted with sugar-crafted miniature artists diligently at work. Above this artistic ensemble, a string of vibrant bunting spells out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOUIS," each letter crafted to look like a different graphic design tool—scissors, rulers, tablets, and styluses—hanging whimsically from a garland made of paintbrushes.

To the side, a gigantic easel holds a surreal canvas where an artwork is in progress, an homage to Arthur Rackham’s detailed style, featuring abstract interpretations of youthful exuberance and creativity. In the background, Norman Rockwell-inspired teenagers, each absorbed in their creative pursuits, populate the scene, their expressions lively and animated, as if captured mid-laughter. A ceiling-high bookshelf towers in one corner, filled with art books and quirky curiosities, suggesting endless inspiration.

Finally, a swirling, Gustave Doré-inspired sky can be seen through the windows, where fluffy clouds whimsically spell out "LOUIS," subtly stitched into the very fabric of the surreal sky. This imaginative and lively scene, filled with hidden details and artistic references, encapsulates the creative spirit of the celebration, making it a truly unique birthday greeting for Louis.
