Painting intricate patterns, like those on the slugs, is not really my preferred thing, much like painting the stripes in this painting. You can watch the making of When a Man-woman Loves a Woman-man. Below is the text from the book Crime Against Nature that goes with this image.
Sometimes boys and girls are girls and boys.
Leopard slugs are hermaphrodites. Each one reproduces as both a male and a female. When two slugs mate, they accept sperm from one another and then lay eggs.
