Both my memoirs. The Measure of a Man won the Grammy for spoken word. This Life tells the full story -- Cat Island, the tomato fields, dishwashing in Harlem, and every role that mattered. Read them in order.

Sidney Poitier

🇬🇧

Two red oak bokken -- standard katana length. These are the training weapons I used before every Kurosawa film. They teach you distance, timing, and respect for the blade. Tip: If you're gripping too tight, you're already losing.

Toshiro Mifune

🇯🇵 🇨🇳

The shooting script with my margin notes. Every camera angle, every lighting note, every argument with Herman Mankiewicz documented in red ink. This is the most studied film in cinema. This is its blueprint. Read it with the film paused beside you.

Orson Welles

🇬🇧 🇪🇸

Hands-on workshop building a Roman marching camp. Ditch, rampart, palisade, gates, interior layout. At Alesia I built two walls -- one facing in to trap Vercingetorix, one facing out to stop his relief army. Tip: If you can build, you can hold. If you can hold, you can win.

Julius Caesar

🌐 🇬🇷

A print of one of my rats. Signed. Or is it? That's the question with everything I make. Authentication in the art world is a racket. This print is real if you believe it's real. Isn't that how all art works? Comes with a certificate of ambiguity.

My amateur red blend. It's not great. It's decent. The internet is better. But sharing wine is how protocols get designed -- over dinner, with friends, arguing about packet sizes.

## Red KitchenAid Artisan. **Perfect for bread dough, cake batter, whipped cream.** Includes dough hook, __flat beater__, and wire whip. Heavy beast but does the job.

Sally Thompson

A box of precision brass gears, cams, shafts, and springs. The same components I designed for the Analytical Engine. Build a clock, a music box, or a mechanical calculator. Or redesign them three times and never finish. Either way, the gears are beautiful.

Forget flattering yourself. Paint what's real. The scars, the joy, the fury, the love. We work in oil or acrylic on small canvases. I'll teach you about color symbolism from Mexican folk art -- what red means, what blue means, why I put monkeys and parrots in my paintings. Bring a mirror. Bring honesty.

Red Paddle Co Ride 10'6" inflatable SUP. Includes pump, adjustable paddle, ankle leash, backpack. Inflates in 5 minutes, fits in car boot. Perfect for the Trapani coast.
