Opinions please!

I worked on some business card ideas for myself and I was hoping to get some feedback from y'all. After staring at them for 2 and a half hours I'm bound to be missing some glaring oversight. Please keep in mind that these are still rough, but be as critical as you like (or can).

Thanks!

Ooh business cards. I can only say like/like more instead of being critical...but between the Back 1 options, I like the vertical one and the bottom left one. The gray is pretty and it looks nice with the white lettering stacked on it.
As a whole, I think the second option looks more memorable with the White/Black sided theme. I know if it was on my desk or in my cardfile, it would be easier to pick out Front 2 (it looks really sleek!) Getting nitpicky here, but the gray curlicues are a nice touch. The right side of them looks really nice but the left side looks a little too...random(?) I guess. Like the right side looks more patterned/like a foreign alphabet, which makes the left look a little more scribbly. I think that side is a little at odds with the smoothness of the black lines and your signature.
Bahaa, that was long. Good job tho - they look really nice =D

Oh uhhh, haha. Back again (sorry) but I'm looking at this with afternoon sunlight on my (dusty) monitor - I didn't see the gray patterning on the black side! Just wanted to say that's a nice touch. Also, maybe you might try putting the "fine art___graphic design___production" in white along with your name? So if someone's looking at the card a while after getting it, they can associate it right away with what you do.

Haha, please don't apologize for helping out a ton. I think you're right that the curlies are a bit too random (I just grabbed them from another design to mimic the feel), but I'll have to keep "patterned" in mind when I work on them again. Thanks!

Back 1, bottom left.

Eye's drawn to the whiteness, the squiggle directs over to the name, and then the contact info's right overhead. Clean and snappy.
