Because it's too good a quiz to pass up. :P
Well, you all know how much of a quiz whore I am. And you're not going to hear from me unless I fill one of these out or do some other quiz... thing... Or, I actually have something to talk about. That I want to talk about. Um, for once. Nah.
Quiz st0led from Kami's LJ. And then wherever she stole it from.
1] What is your pen name?
Mezz. I guess.
2] How did you get the name?
Cousins from England. Kathryn didn't want to use my full name, and she didn't like Mer. She suggested Mez, I liked it, so it stuck. Mezz
3] Do you use PC or Mac?
Excpet in high school, PC. I know, i know, everyone says macs are better. I'm sure I'll be converted one day, but for now, it's still PCs.

Beloved photoshop. Haven't used much else that I like yet. And I hate flash. Ooooh, don't get me started on my hate of flash.
5] Do you use mouse, or tablet?
A mouse, unless I actaully get my lazy ass to do a nice colouring job in photoshop.
6] The color you use most often is?

It usually ends up being the eyes. I've always seemed to have a way with drawing and painting eyes.

Sketchbook paper. Or whatever. looseleaf
