About Me
Patrick Kottinger is a BFA Animation student at San José State University, focusing on modeling and visual development. A lifelong lover of animation, cats, pin-up art, and history, Patrick was drawn to the medium for its power to build worlds and tell meaningful stories. He's currently leading a personal thesis project exploring the emotional impact of B-17 crews in WWII, inspired by his grandfather. Though ADHD presents its challenges, he's determined to see his vision through and complete a demanding degree with passion, grit, and a sense of humor.
