About Badger the spirit teacher
Badger can help you unearth mysteries buried deep within and without. He can root out problems and solutions. A gruff personality with a tenacious. He prefers to keep to himself, but you can build a relationship with him with time and effort.
About the art
This portrait of Badger was created between May and July 2021. The original is a digital piece created in Photoshop. Inspired by my spiritual work with Badger as an animal spirit teacher.
About the artist
I am Wolf Saanen, an animist artist from Dumbarton, Scotland. I create bold and vibrant animal spirit portraits using digital and traditional media. I primarily use Photoshop, but I enjoy working with lino prints, acrylics and ink too. I am inspired by my animistic practice; I want everyone to share in the beauty and magic of the natural world, and perhaps make their own connections.

This week on Twitch…
Hello m’dears and m’deers!
Did you know I stream my art sessions on Twitch? You can find me as littlewolfgoat, and I stream on Mondays, Tuesdays. Thursdays and Fridays from 10 am to about noon (depending on my health). It’s a chill stream; you can ask me anything (though I might not answer!), and just create along with me.
This week I have been working on an entry for a Valentine’s e-card contest hosted by OneKind (an animal welfare charity I used to volunteer for). Nothing exciting, it’s going to be a female Roe Deer with the words “I love you deerly”.
I thought it was cute!
Anyways, here is a slideshow of my work in progress so far, totalling about 7 hours work.

Musk Ox Man
“Musk Ox Man” (2020)
Digital art.
The Musk Ox Man is a weather spirit who visits here most winters. He lives in the North, but roams South during the winter season. As he passes, his footsteps cause the snow to fall.
This is a recreation of a lost drawing of mine from several years ago.
Collab with Den & Ink
(2011) Digital illustration.
I was delighted when Den & Ink asked me if I wanted to collaborate with her. She is such a talented illustrator, and to share a canvas with her was wonderful.
The plan was simple; there was no plan. All we did was pass this drawing back and forth. It grew organically into this amazing piece.
I had a lot of fun, and we’ll be doing this again soon.
Bullet Journal Cover: January 2021
Hello m’dears and dears!
On today’s Twitch livestream I made this monthly page for my bullet journal, and I would like to make it available to you too.
Today is the Winter Solstice. While I was outside waiting for dawn to break, I was visited by some very strong (yet gentle) Bear energy. He just had to feature on this page of my journal.
If you use this in your journal, I would love to see photos!
I hope you all have a magical day!
Leafy boi v2
“Leafy Boi 2” 2020
Digital illustration.
I just found out about these leafy bois, and they are adorable! They are a species of sea slug nicknamed the “sea sheep”. These tiny wee critters are not only pretty, but they can photosynthesise.
I will be making improvements to this sketch in a few days.
