So what is the concept here? Who are you targeting these cards at?
You have uppercase for the name, but all lowercase for everything else. This doesn't seem professional.
The boxes add a 3D look, but also add clutter and look like they are squeezing the type. They almost seem to say you just fill in the blanks, like filling in a form.

MSN IM? AIM? thats pretty amateur stuff to include on a business card. No need.
- well, i don't want my home address since there's no reason. and don't you communicate with clients with aim and msn??artbum
- no, i dont communicate with them via aim or msn or any chat app. seems unprofessional.iCanHazQBN
- besides all you need is a phone # and email address on a business card.iCanHazQBN
- you can exchange aim and msn screennames later. its VERY amateur and kiddish to have than on a biz card.iCanHazQBN
- you dont need a home address on a biz card. nobody mails you anything directly after they first meet you.iCanHazQBN

Here's the thread that shows a lot of the logo's that people use.

you already have a very simple (in a good way) identity on the top left of your website. You can use it the same way on your bizcard. Then your website and bizcard would match. Its just an/one idea.

yeah, it's sort of a graffiti inspired logo since that's what i used to do as a teen and my first exposure to anything close to "commercial art". but i didn't want it to be so graffiti that it looks like i'm a graffiti artist for hire. more like, the 'feel' of modified graffiti.

It's not good.
When in doubt, create a nice, well-kerned and flexible logotype for yourself. Something that suits your personality but isn't trendy. Call it a day.

clients won't care what inspired you to become a commercial artist / designer. they care about what you can do to help their business grow. keep this in mind.

as for naming, i myself would roll with "Doland Ruiz Design" not just Doland which is way too casual imo.
or come up with a company name is you see yourself operating that way. it's a personal choice. i use my first and last name for business because i try to sell myself more as a solo illustrator/artist/designer rather than a studio/agency/collective.
