The mosaic stuff sounds pretty interesting. Also the furniture things seems pretty cool too. Interesting would be different than with "Character" I'm guessing. For some reason when ever someone says something has "Character" it really means, "I don't want this here and giving it to you is cheaper that paying someone to haul it off" I'm assuming you make conversation piece furniture which tends to be pretty interesting in and of itself.
"Graphic Novel" is TOTALLY the adult way of saying "Comic Books". I swear it makes it grown up that way. >.> Seriously. The bright side is "Graphic Novels" (Why is it Graphic Novels with the quotation marks sounds dirty?) tend to have multiple issues in them and cover an entire story arch rather than individual issues. Buying them that way means that when that one issue with the special guest star sells out you aren't trying to run all over town to figure out what happened.
It's the difference betweeen watching an Episode of Heroes or watching an entire Season of Heroes. You know not that I have ever sat down and watched an entire Season of a show over a few days.... Hey I am off work ever other week. Don't judge :-P
