The LoLi team managed to turn the kōrero shared at the hui into beautiful and memorable illustrations. These illustrations have had a profound impact in the hearts and minds of participants and us here at Manatū Hauora, translating ideas and inspirations into a form of creative communication that will continue to influence the future of Māori wellbeing. I’ve been very impressed by their high level of competency to understand and navigate te ao Māori, including a sufficient level of te reo Māori expertise. Their friendly and enthusiastic character has made a huge impact on us organisers of the hui and participants alike.” Clyde Smith - Senior Policy Analyst l Māori Health Strategy & Policy, Manatu Hauora

“Miharo! Tumeke! E mihi ana ki te League of live illustrators! He ringa toi, he tohunga. During Te Wiki o te Reo Maori September 2017 Te Papa invited the League to be a part of our public programme to celebrate our reo here at the museum. Megan Salole and Stephen Templer created a mural on the big round window in the Wellington Foyer. Inspired by the taonga (treasures) that are in the museum (From traditional Maori taonga through to the colossal Squid). Their playful imagery and use of Maori language was an engaging and fun way for our visitors to learn some new words in Maori. With over 2000 daily visitors to Te Papa, their work attracted great feedback from visitors and staff, and was a great way to celebrate the Maori language here at the national museum. At the weeks end we were very reluctant to ‘clean’ the window! Huge thanks to the League of Live Illustrators! E kore e mutu na mihi ki a koutou e hoa ma!” Ati Teepa. Public Programmes Specialist.

“Working with the League of Live Illustrators for our Project Positive campaign was incredible. It exceeded every expectation. Yasmine and Steve understood and valued how important it was for our young people to be involved at every stage and embraced this. Together we were able to take our initial idea of spreading positivity and compliments online and make it better through challenge, discussion and reflection. Clear, whimsical, engaging and fun illustrations were combined with our compliments to be able to be shared through a wide range of social media and also through stickers, postcards, T shirts and posters. These illustrations reached thousands of people here in NZ and around the world and were shared widely to reclaim the net as a positive space as part of our campaign. We loved the process and the experience and continue to use these illustrations in a range of ways.” KARLA SANDERS, NATIONAL CO-ORDINATOR - STICKS 'N STONES
