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!

A freak snowstorm hit Ol’ Turnip Head’s cemetery, burying the dead even further than ever before! Having to dig a tunnel network across his fields was not part of his seasonal slumber plan!
