"[...] the art has a stylish retro look, and portraits of Sally Ride and Guion Bluford diversify an otherwise all-white, all-male astronaut corps posing heroically or riding blocky, geometric spacecraft across starry reaches."-Kirkus Reviews

Dominic Walliman is a YouTuber and a non-fiction children's book author. He has a popular YouTube channel called Domain of Science and he writes the award-winning Professor Astro Cat science books for children. Dominic grew up in Cheltenham UK, gained a PhD in quantum device physics from The University of Birmingham and worked for several years in the quantum computing industry in Canada. Ben Newman has developed a distinct aesthetic over the years; a contemporary fusion of bold shapes, bright colours and playful characters which has been described as 'bauhaus fuzzy felt.' He has produced work for a large range of clients, including the Tate Modern, New York Times, BBC Radio 4, Apple, Google and The New Yorker. His practice extends outside of commercial work into worldwide exhibitions, paintings and three dimensional collaborations.
Ben co-created the Professor Astro Cat children's books with his longtime friend and scientist, Dr Dominic Walliman, which are published by Flying Eye Books and have been translated into 24 other languages. Concurrent to working as a freelance illustrator, Newman lectures on illustration at various universities and conferences in the UK and Europe.
