I love the feel of it! Texture's always a nice thing to see in a logo and it nicely compliments your work! I did have a couple of suggestions for you to consider though:

I would make sure that your website copy is entirely backed by black rather than have that texture bleed in behind it. It doesn't feel like it was put in too carefully otherwise, and I'm wondering if you actually need the address here at all, as a side note.

This one is much more of a taste nitpick, but I would consider trying to remove the grayscale entirely which would echo and compliment your crisp lettering better.

Apart from that, I love what's here. <:

I've actually considered removing the grayscale, I like the look of the logo when I zoom out.

I removed it and I agree with you.

Oh awesome, glad that worked out for you!

It's got a great humanist demeanor! I'd see it and wonder, "Who is this person? They seem skilled and creative."
It's such a great departure from the web2.0 logos that are so pervasive in the current market. (Especially App Markets)
It's almost –trusting.

I do like the refinements that CB is suggesting, and additionally, I'd really enjoy seeing a version that is just dripping
with color! When you get those starkly colored projects where a monochromatic logo might blend in a little too well,
it'd be great have a logo that has a lot of pop!

Love it!

My idea with the logo being black is so I can change the color to work with the illustration. I even thought of a series of business cards with different colors. I agree with CB too, I'm amking some adjustments

I like it. :)

Right now it has the feel / look of a pair of lips. I think that's pretty neat and works well with 'what you're saying'.
Not sure how much sense that makes, but it works.

LOL I hadn't thought of the "lips"

I love it; it feels warm and crisp and burnt. A look at it and a few words come to mind: classic, careful, attentive, personal, friendly, trustworthy, professional. Not sure if that's what you were going for, but it ain't a bad look!

Those are great words, glad it makes you think of them.

I like it! It's clean, interesting, and professional with a sweet indie, artsy vibe to it.

My only critique would be while it definitely says "artist", and that I would probably click on through regardless, just looking at this logo doesn't really tell me what kind of artist you are. Do you intend for the logo to be seen seperate from your blog/work? I might suggest adding a little character somehow, like a mascot or something. :)

It's just perfect as it is, though.

It'll mostly be added almost like a watermark. I was thinking I'd use it for business cards and letterhead, but I'd combine it with an illustration or something on the other side.

Very good.

Thank you :)
