the large techy logo seems at odds with the reverse side which I like (other than the colour) also, why the change in shade of grey from front to back?
And I dont like the staggering of the typr for you name/title and then the number staggered again, looks a bit all over the place.
I think the front and back are at odds and I think the back is better. I would change the colour to something more natural, can still be bold. I would then reconsider your logo, maybe just smaller and less prominent if you are using this already, and I would try and bring cohesion between the front and the back, let the back lead you. Keep it more natural looking.

and I didn't even notice the webaddress til now, and why gmail email? why not have those three bits of info together instead of 3 diff places?

refine your illustrations on the back and limit to the ones that are seriously appealing .. some of them look like a car engine or random animal footprints
if you want to cover the back like that make a pattern from a few items.
try to tie the illustrations into the logo style as well .. same curves .. color .. anything. looks disjointed.
also .. your type on the front needs help. create a grid and limit the ways you use the face.
color is nice .. i prefer the gray and green combo.

Screw you, rasko. FOR ONCE, can you let me pre-empt exactly what YOU're about to say?? Bah.
Anyway, the two sides are wholly incongruous - the front, [dated] tech with dodgy alignment, the back freeform doodle.
I prefer the back, and would like to see a similarily freeform means of stating your particulars on the front, maybe with this kind of font?
- that way, the lining up doesn't matter so much as with the 'straighter' fonts like Helv, which do need to be kept tight.I'm really not understanding the colour disparity either.
If you pull off a convergance of compatible front and tha tback, I'll ove it.
Good luck!

Looks neato -- BUT ...
1. What do those specific tools have to do with your logo, name, title, etc. on the front?
2. It's so clean on the front. so why use unclean autotraced images on the back?
Just my two-ish cents!
Thanks for being brave & posting it. I'm redesigning mine right now, too.

I type too slowly.

its either that green or a butter yellow...big fan of 95 air max so i may stick with the green to pop more(even tho the yellow would too)...the gray on the front is too light for the back...i see what u mean about the engine parts..thx

Nairn..def agree with that type face..thx ...the tools are of everyday use...for the receiver of the card...id want them to view tools that i use for production i could def add a few others tho...thx everyone! i need to get this card DONE once and for all!!

the grid is your friend, also logos for individuals are not so cool esp. generic techy ones that don't add value.
IMO

though it's been said...
1. the colors do not match from front to back
2. the alignment in the front is horrific
3. the repetition of tools on the back detracts from the appearance
4. either make the back match the front or the front match the back, right now it looks like 2 different cards

On a side note, I LOVE your canvas work in your folio.

as everyone's saying..
the front/ back styles don't work well together.
loosen up the front side (maybe hand draw your logo).. or collect some realistic photo silhouettes of the tools
maybe Neuarmy or Plastickid will lend you their splash:
