![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bethbethbeth: ART: "The Language of Birds" for o_k_go
Recipient: O_K_GO Artist: didodikaliTitle: The Language of Birds Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Marcus/Ginny. Summary: Art. I stuck some text on this here art as texture/frame, vaguely hoping that O_K_GO might like a bit of typography as well as art. Some of it was intentionally made to be quite unreadable, but BBB quite reasonably suggested that many people may want to know what the unreadable text actually says. So here is the text PDF version, as well as a (slightly) smaller bandwidth image PDF. ( The Language of Birds )
