Hillenburg joined the series as a director and later, during the fourth season, he took on the roles of producer and creative director. Impressed by the style of the film, Murray offered Hillenburg a job. It was screened at festivals, and at one of these, Hillenburg met Rocko's Modern Life creator Joe Murray. His thesis film, Wormholes, is about the theory of relativity.

Instead of continuing his education with a traditional art program, Hillenburg chose to study experimental animation at the California Institute of the Arts. Before this could materialize, he attended an animation festival, which inspired him to make a slight change in course. While working as a staff artist at the Ocean Institute, Hillenburg entertained plans to return eventually to college for a master's degree in art. Hillenburg tried to get the comic professionally published, but none of the companies he sent it to were interested. The comic starred various anthropomorphic sea lifeforms, many of which would evolve into SpongeBob SquarePants characters. He created a comic book titled The Intertidal Zone, used by the institute to teach visiting students about the animal life of tide pools.

Р”Р„t the institute, Hillenburg's love of the ocean began to influence his artistry. After graduating in 1984, he joined the Ocean Institute, an organization in Dana Point, California, dedicated to educating the public about marine science and maritime history. Although these interests would not overlap for some time-the idea of drawing fish seemed boring to him-Hillenburg pursued both during college, receiving a major in marine biology and a minor in art. The series' creator Stephen Hillenburg first became fascinated with the ocean as a child and began developing his artistic abilities at a young age.
