I mean it's simple like you said, so not much to critique with that expectation.
I've found in most cases simple is often better since complex is a fine lady and if you don't caress her just right, you'll never live it down.
The only change I'd consider is resizing the first one a bit just to help him advertise and get his calling card out a little bit easier to see.
I don't really care for the second one as it's just on regular image with text over it, I like the duality of the first one better.
It's not shit though, I've seen far worse from ones that look like a ringer for Paint massacre.
Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
