The 'client' I decided to create for was Mother Earth News Magazine.

I needed to make an illustration of "Compost friendly foods".  After talking to my mother who composts, I found that virtually all fruits and vegetables can be composted. Some composters don't use citrus fruits, but it's a preference thing. 

I chose the apple for its core, the orange for its rine, and the pear because the whole thing can be thrown in if it goes bad.
