Mark Todd's art exhibit "Oh, Man" closes this coming week. The bright, colorful work prompted Houston Press contributor Dusti Rhodes to note, "It's no wonder Mark Todd calls his exhibition 'Oh, Man.' Because that's exactly the kind of stunned/amazed response his paintings and illustrations coax from viewers."

Todd's work resembles vintage comic book covers, with a few added embellishments such as rockets, lightning bolts, and flames. 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Through July 23. Domy Books, 1709 Westheimer. For information, call 713-523-3669 or visit www.domystore.com. Free.
