Jason McLean

Jason McLean, posing in an ever-so-serious, stoic manner

Jason McLean; artist, mechanic, lumberman, rancher, horseman, farmer, mysteryman. From the hilltop where Jason's home sits you can see a small kingdom. There is tilled land by the creek where a neighbor farms the land for half the crop. Over and down to the left are the horses who graze amidst giant steel sculptures. And there off to the West you see mountains of windfall redwood timber that await milling.

Jason's shop is here too. One giant P.A. speaker rips out White Zombie ("...more human than human") while the press crunches more rods for CD racks. So little time for so much work.

All this so fast. From age eleven he was welding. Before he could drive he was fixing and trading cars for better cars. He made gates and then functional crafts. DELIA met Jason in 1991, we met him in 2004 and we all struck a deal. But the story does not end here. It continues on that hilltop, with Jason in his studio; working, planning and building. So little time, so much to do.
