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!

Earlier this month, Ol’ Turnip Head tickled his distant relative and made her laugh to death, so the League of Forced Laughs declared him their King Clown. He, of course, is rather reluctant.

Silas was abducted by the League of FORCED Laughs, a bunch of unfunny clowns with lame jokes and pratfalls in the sad hopes of achieving a laugh. But what could they want with Ol’ Turnip Head?

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!

As Silas hands Baroness Kalonice back to her husband Baron Valentino, he proceeds to intensely dance with Ethelinda the Serpent who swallowed a few unwelcome patrons beforehand.

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?

Silas’ first dance of the Night Ball is a slow romantic waltz with Drusilla the witch.

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!
