I feel you would be much better served using a bold, simple, modern font and make it clean. Without the use of an icon/graphic (which is NOT a bad thing) your typography has to hold weight, communicate well and be easily identified.
It's rough, the text is unintentionally uneven and thick, and the colors can be tweaked whichever way (except black and blue :mrgreen, but you get the idea...Sure, show me what you mean.
I like the design but there are some fonts I feel should be retired: Comic Sans, Papyrus, and Scriptina. I see so many people (photographers especially) use Scriptina and Papyrus, and it lacks originality and creativity.

As we say on the other forum I belong to, when someone uses Comic Sans (or Papyrus) God kills a kitten. Now WHO would want to kill a kitten?
Please delete comic sans and papyrus from your memory bank

Here is my take on this and I must say, It is growing on me.

If that is true, then James Cameron killed millions with the movie "Avatar".
I'll mention this again. Your uneven and places of thin line are going to be very hard to reproduce at the size of a business card. And when you decide to put this on the web, it's going to be even far more reduced in size and quality and therefore lose a lot of the fine detail.
What are you trying to SAY about yourself with the logo? What does the little piece of "flair" under your name suppose to mean/represent? Is it there just to make it look pretty/cool or is there a real meaning to it? I gave my advice about heading to a resource and looking at logos in the "best of" books at your local book store and it's solid advice. I never work with the computer first, I always go to my sketch pad to get out ALL of my ideas, even the bad ones, on paper. That way I can identify what works, what doesn't and what direction I want to pursue.
Don't settle for your logo just because you think it looks cool or don't want to spend the time on it. That's my professional 2 cents and hope you take something away from it.
Well I just like it. It doesn't say anything about me. But neither does a lot of the logos I see and like. Most logos I see are usually just simply their name. I just thought the flair added to it.
