A mixture of fact and blatant fiction about the history and culture of New Zealand. For example:

There really are giant squid off that part of the coast, but King Arthur and Merlin never rode here on a dinosaur.

The places where I've placed the record player, coffee cup, cigarettes, wine and jesus-and-friends really are known for that kind of thing, but Hannibal and his elephants never crossed the Southern Alps.

Kids really do love to play in the sand at NZ beaches, but kiwis only stand about 8 inches tall.

Thanks very much :)
It's done by hand, ie. cut and paste. The canvas is sprayed with diluted acrylic paint so it runs and leaves a streaky effect when it dries. Then I glue the paper elements to it with Mod Podge (liquid glue).
