The not so enthralling life of Mary.

[ThatBookGirl]

"All Quiet On The Western Front"! I love that book! When you finish you should read "The Road Back" too. Just leave a little time in between, cause it's... pretty heavy. Also, art vlogs - YES!

[MaryVanGils]

@ThatBookGirl Ooo. I'll try and remember to look for that book!

[ThatBookGirl]

@ThatBookGirl I just reallized I forgot to say it was the sequel to AQotWF. And that I love your videos are awesome.

[rainkilledmynova]

i really like your art Vlogs. Keep it up ((:

[MaryVanGils]

@rainkilledmynova Thank you!

[rainkilledmynova]

@MaryVanGils Your Welcome. (: Subscribe to me if you want.

Just starting haha. Thanks.

[theColorEmily]

I think you should talk a little every now and then, and have shots of fast forward drawing in between. (:

[MaryVanGils]

@theColorEmily This is a very good idea, and one of the formats I was considering. =) Also, sorry for super later reply haha.

[HollyMP77]

yay, more art-vlogs :)

[MaryVanGils]

@HollyMP77 Yes! ^_^

[ForeignRobot]

I think when you can say "The naked people, they're coming along quite nicely", you've made it in life.

Seriously, thought, make more videos, girrlll. You da bomb.

[MaryVanGils]

@ForeignRobot ahahaha. Well, I'm quite happy to have made it at 18. I will do grand things =P

Thanks, Josh!

[RebyDaRebel]

I love your art vlogs! It's great to see you again friend!:)

Rebecca:)

[MaryVanGils]

@RebyDaRebel Thanks! Good to see you too ^_^

[nyachankawaii]

YOUR TALKING STYLE IS A BIT LIKE MINE

hgahhaha :"D  You're funny ;D

ohw and I always get that nervous feeling when i haven;t sen a friend in a while

ahah , "naked people" ahaha

[MaryVanGils]

@nyachankawaii haha, I wasn't aware that I had a particular talking style, but that's cool =P

[nyachankawaii]

ART-VIDEOS! :D

[MaryVanGils]

@nyachankawaii yayyy =D

[elizziebooks]

I enjoy Mary's art vlogs! :]

[MaryVanGils]

@elizziebooks Good! I enjoy Elizabeth's comments.

[zerothreegreen]

ahaha the end made me laugh =D

[MaryVanGils]

@zerothreegreen Yayyy. I enjoy making you laugh ^_^

[Coolkidwithahat]

I like that idea :), also you should read the book thief if you haven't already done so :)

[MaryVanGils]

@Coolkidwithahat I have read that actually! I really love it. Such an amazing book =) Marcus Zusak is a fantastic author. <3

[ChristopherFilm]

Have you read A Wrinkle in Time? I'm reading it and its so good!

P.S. The "I secretly enjoy my hobo-ness" made me laugh :) Just thought I'd let you know :)

[MaryVanGils]

@ChristopherFilm I haven't read that! I'll look into it =) I have an ever expanding list of books to look for haha.

[silverghostDK]

@MaryVanGils Yay, sounds good! :)

[northtreker2003]

I also definitely vote for the art videos. Its a lot of fun watching the paintings unfold and seeing your technique.

[MaryVanGils]

@northtreker2003 This pleases me. =D I'm glad that you like them.

[silverghostDK]

I miss your art videos :c

[MaryVanGils]

@silverghostDK You will not have to miss them for much longer ^_^

[Trammelbach]

your art videos are the best! hope you figure out a system, the naked people are looking good xD

[MaryVanGils]

@Trammelbach Thanks! I shall get my system figured out soon =P

I'm glad you approve of my naked folk.

[Trammelbach]

@MaryVanGils am actually very inspired by your art. Also was kinda trapped in my own ``stlye`` to me every drawing started to look the same. But I then tried alot of abstract stuff, very personal and meaningful to me. I used to draw only realistic, but I`ve grown now, and you inspired me alot to take some more risk. so thx :)

[MaryVanGils]

@Trammelbach haha we went in opposite directions when we tried exploring new styles. =P I'm really happy that you've been inspired by my art. Always take risks with art, you have nothing to lose because you can just get rid of the piece if it doesn't work out.

[chrislaforet]

i woled like to see some art videos that woled be cool.. im an artest mysalfe

[MaryVanGils]

@chrislaforet Good, good. I'm glad everyone seems into the idea!

[notoriouslies]

I really like your art videos! Is there any way you could maybe have it so you show you drawing, then speed it up at parts, while doing a voice over/cut to vlog thing? Better question: did that even make any sense?

I read All's Quiet On the Western Front (rather, tried to read it) and I just couldn't get into it. I don't know. Differences in opinion!

"I'm just a Mary." That made me smile. Okay, yep, so I enjoyed this very much and can't wait to see more videos from you. Have a nice day!! :)

[MaryVanGils]

@notoriouslies haha that does make sense, though I don't know if it would be the method I would want to use really since half the fun of vlogging this way is the fact that I can vlog and paint together and not have to do them separately which I would have to do for a voice over. Thanks for the idea though! =)

I'm glad you enjoyed the video, miss!

[ShutUpChago]

Make break dancing videos.

[MaryVanGils]

@ShutUpChago I thought I was meant to dance to Lady Gaga? C'mon now, you need to make up your mind.

[lauradoestheastro]

I love your art videos! I'm totally for you doing more.

[MaryVanGils]

@lauradoestheastro yayyyy. I will do more then. =)

[JPa311979]

I hope You Tube fixes that problem with emailing for new subscribers. I usually sub back if they have videos. If the subscriptions were in order from newest to oldest I'd be able to tell, but they are not in any order that I can understand.

[MaryVanGils]

@JPa311979 Yeah, tis quite annoying. They're working again now though, so that's good =)

[Art23Freak]

I like the art vids :) I just love your channel

[MaryVanGils]

@Art23Freak This makes me happy ^_^

[theviolinist94]

are you originally from Australia? Your accent isn't a strong one if that makes sense :) Just curious!

[MaryVanGils]

@theviolinist94 No, I'm from Canada =) I moved here about 6 years ago.

[momentum27]

I'd love to see more videos of you drawing and talking. I think your art is very pretty. c:

[MaryVanGils]

@momentum27 Yay! Then you shall definitely be seeing more.

[pehealaeponoai]

But we dont see eachother.I only see you. Having said that, it is good to see you. Keep drawing :) Excellent work !I love your passion and obvious love of the "doing"...

[MaryVanGils]

@pehealaeponoai Who says I can't see you? I could be watching you right now for all you know ;)

*creeper*

[pehealaeponoai]

@MaryVanGils True, it is a "possibility." But I believe you're on that big rock they call the American continent at the moment, and if so, you can't see me from there ;)

[MaryVanGils]

@pehealaeponoai I'm actually on the big rock they call Australia haha, but I probably can't see you from here either. Safe for now.

[pehealaeponoai]

@MaryVanGils oops, that's right. Sorry for the insult...but glad to know i'm safe ;)

[TheCustard17]

Ahhh..... Sitting in my computer chair all day sounds like the best dream ever! Unfortunately for me, I have the unfortunate experience of working and studying. YAY for 75+ hour weeks!

[MaryVanGils]

@TheCustard17 haha aw, it sounds like you need a break! Working and studying would be really exhausting =(

[TheCustard17]

@MaryVanGils Yep, sure is.... It's all good though, it means I'll have one fantastic reference from work when I graduate and get a 'real job'. I've only got 8 weeks of class left this semester, then I have two glorious months off, yippee! (Hopefully these two months will be constructive, rather than wasted surfing the net and reading all day.... =P)

[MaryVanGils]

@TheCustard17 oh yay! The two months off will be glorious indeed. And hey now, I have been DRAWING! Constructive use of time, thank you very much ^_^

*goes to surf internet and read*

[edge4552]

you should look up mark crilley, he does drawing videos in a good way.

[MaryVanGils]

@edge4552 I shall look him up ^_^

[4svennie]

Hey good to see you back on the tube. Experiment with the vlogs, and see whats best for you. If it's best for you and your happy, I'm sure it'll be good for us. Take care.

[MaryVanGils]

@4svennie ah yes, this is good advice =) Thanks!
