Born in San Antonio, Texas and raised in Monterrey México. Emmanuel Valtierra studied Graphic Design in the
University of Nuevo Leon (UANL) and Photography in San Antonio College. After some time, he adopted the aztec
codex style for some of his works bringing him attention from the public. Releasing first a series of pop culture
images, playing cards, and finally the book "Codex Valtierra". The book had a Kickstarter campaign and won
praise at the WorldCon 2018 in San Jose California.
The love Valtierra has for history has influenced him on all his projects. The goal is to keep teaching
new generations about our past in a fun way in every media possible. In the future, Valtierra is planning to
release more books, direct more videos, and work on more games for his public and followers.
