To Artsy or To Bland?

I plan on starting a website offering graphic/art/design services and hopefully later a blog that reviews films. Right now, I'd like to start the website first. The problem is I don't know what my domain name should be. I thought of just using variations of my full name, but then it made me wonder if that looked unprofessional. Then I came up with really "artsy" names and it made me worry that people wouldn't take me seriously. I'm trying to get clients, so I'm not sure how I should go about this. Any comments or suggestions would be great appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

What site are you planning to build up? maybe you could just give a domain name after to what services you're offering. If you're too worried that putting your name in the domain would seem unprofessional.

The problem with "artsy" names is that some people might not understand the connection to your content and this might cause your site to lose credibility with potential visitors. For maximum impact choose a name that's easy to remember and that focuses on your product or service, rather than on you personally. More people are likely to search for "graphic/art/design services" than your name (especially if they aren't aware of you yet).
