Start with your pictures. You need a good, clear, front close-up of your smiling face (yeah, teeth and all!). Caption your pictures with dates taken and maybe a little explanation. Like, why are you wearing headphones?
Apparently, Jeff is a funny guy. I see no evidence of that in your profile. Where's the humor? And get rid of the "Jeffland" concept. It sounds like the theme for an 8-year-old's birthday party.
Your Personality section needs three paragraphs; one about you, one about what you like to do for fun, and one about the woman you're looking for.
Paragraph one is about you and your everyday life. What kind of artist are you? What's your medium (or are you multi-media)? What kinds of music/books/movies do you like? Are you a great cook? Where do you go on Saturday afternoon? Friday night? How many children do you have? How old are they, and how often do you see them? Are you a gardener? What's your idea of the best possible date?
In paragraph two, talk in more detail about a few of your favorite activities. Do you always carry a camera or a sketchbook? Are you a hiker/camper/sports enthusiast? Are you a master of the backyard barbecue? Do you enjoy theatre/wine tastings/indie films? Do you sing - in a barbershop quartet, a karaoke bar or the shower? Give a woman reading your profile (and unlike most men, women do actually read profiles) something to make her feel a connection to you.
The third paragraph is all about her - the woman you're hoping to find. Is she athletic or a cheerleader? A career woman or a homebody? Is she jeans-and-a-tee-shirt or high-heels-and-a-manicure? What if she has children? Is she a risk-taker? If so, does that mean she goes sky-diving or invests in internet start-ups? Do not tell her she needs to be honest. That makes you sound suspicious and wary. No woman wants to date a man who's going to make her pay for someone else's flaws.
Your Interest list is empty. You need to fill it up! These are things that women will click on in their own profiles to find men with similar interests. The experts on this forum suggest a minimum of 12 to 15 Interests. This is where you list music groups/genres you like, favorite authors, favorite foods/restaurants. How about fireworks/woodcarving/flea markets/ham radio/roller coasters? You get the idea!
Last of all, don't wait for women to contact you. Most women won't. YOU need to initiate contact. When you message a woman for the first time, mention something specific in her profile in the subject line (NOT her pictures!). In the body of the message, ask a simple question about it, so she has something to say in her response. Keep it brief, not more than four or five sentences, and sign it with your first name.
Good luck!

If you're going to keep the Jeffland concept (it should be capitalized because it's your name), you'll need to expand on the 'attractions' there.
Enjoy the casual/fine dining...
Marvel at the ....
Laugh out loud at ...
If you're going to be a brochure, make it work with better photos. The main is OK (I can see what you're doing), but the hockey stick photo makes you seem positively anorexic. That is not a flattering photo. The artworks can be saved for another time - your viewer is going to want to see YOU.
