Jason Buhagiar has studied art and design in his home country of Malta from which he holds a Diploma with Distinction. “His background spans graphic and book design, pre-press and offset printing, which has enabled him to develop and provide, digital computer illustrations “ready made” across any type of print format. A veteran artist with numerous published titles from across the world within his portfolio.”
Jason’s philosophy:Dedication, quality ideals, and unique creativity help make you an artist, but just as important are a positive attitude, kindness, and passion for whatever I do. I have found that these above all, are the winning combination for success.

I cannot recommend a more capable and professional digital illustrator than Jason Buhagiar.
Jason and I have been working together the past two years. Jason is the illustrator of my new children’s book series “ELLEN MELON”. Jason is an AMAZING TALENT, not only capable of top quality illustrations but of also performing all my graphic design needs. Jason is a true artist in every sense of the word. Jason puts his heart and soul into every project he does, and he always turns in his work on time if not early.

In reference: Mr. Jason Buhagiar - Maltese national, is a very affable and professional person who does his utmost to
represent himself and any company he works with in the best possible light. I have worked with Jason on
various projects over the past three years were he has had to communicate ideas and suggest options for
the best outcomes, and he always comes over as a confident, reliable, and very accomplished individual.
His attention to detail is unsurpassed and nothing gets past his critical eye unless it is completed to as near
perfection as possible.
Jason’s in-depth knowledge of computer graphics manipulation, and also the printed graphical forms, in
my opinion, is quite unique, and he is able to provide consultancy across a wide range of projects, ranging
from website design, to logo development through to printed material such as books and banners, the list is
inexhaustable.He can be relied upon to give his best in all circumstances and handles pressure situations
well, not just technical, but social interaction when dealing with many multi-faceted and potentially difficult
clients.He works well to project defined timescales and is calm and collected under pressure.
I have no hesitation in recommending Jason for any role he sets his mind to, and I am sure he will approach
any opportunity with a professional and assured demeanour.
