Corn - Art for Cash sake

For many years I illustrated black & white spots for different food magazines.  If the art director really loved it they would bump up the size to feature it, all for the same work-for-hire pay.  My assignment would be very basic like " Something to do with corn. And don't forget a space for type. Oh and we want it tomorrow."
It was a challenge to do something creative.  I must admit the thought of people, place or thing usually came up. With my trusty splattering toothbrush in hand, I would deliver.
