Hi, I’m John Irvine the artist for Ol’ Turnip Head.
2025, expect more sketches, digital art (not AI), Mabon madness and spookiness. I could venture further with Ol’ Turnip Head like short-stories and maybe future publishings if possible!

In honor of #NoKings Day, here's a special little song to jam to as most Americans and people around the world bravely protest the true crimes against humanity such as fascism, authoritarianism and white christian nationalism.

INTERNATIONAL WEIGHTLIFTING DAY
Marko Hazurov sees being undead as no excuse to skip weightlifting sessions. Ol’ Turnip Head, on the other hand, could barely carry shopping!

Adrienne made a deal with Paige and allowed her to possess her body so she can have a physical dance with Silas. Tristan cordially watches as two lovers reunite for a brief intimate time.

As Keif cuts into the next dance with Drusilla, Silas turns and strikes several poses with Adrienne. Paige appears to want the next dance, but how could a ghost dance with Ol’ Turnip Head?

The one positive development that Ol’ Turnip Head’s relatives made on the estate is constructing a dance hall. We’re gonna have a ball!

Ah, of course Uncle Silas wouldn’t be angry at his family for very long! With his distant relatives joining the ranks of the undead and all their redevelopment plans scrapped, Ol’ Turnip Head’s legacy may last for an eternity longer!

Dr. Dandelion in the Office with the gunpowder
Diabolical Dr. Dandelion is committing the worst crime against Ol’ Turnip Head – he plans to drill the cemetery for oil and minerals. Unwilling to let centuries of fatal frights get erased, Silas laces the doctor’s pipe with gunpowder.

Viscount Vermilion in the Pantry with the poison

INTERNATIONAL ZOOKEEPER DAY
Silas doesn’t agree with the idea of zoos, especially when animals are kept in cages. Having infiltrated one, he steals a set of keys and sets out to empty all their cages, despite the ensuing chaos.

Corporal Chartreuse in the Recreation room with the cannon

DAY 3
Lady Lavender in the Botanical Garden with the feather
The Loathsome Lady is the dominant matriarch who claimed the Wickes estate, so all the developmental plans go through her. Fortunately for Silas, she’s a frail nonagenarian and cannot bear being tickled for long.

DAY 2
It turns out Silas and his brother Bartholomew have some very distant relatives. Not only are these individuals extremely rich but they have major plans to get richer by redeveloping Ol’ Turnip Head’s entire legacy!
