00:00Mr. Lu, sum yourself up in three words.
00:03My name is Felix Lu and I am an artist.
00:07He's an artist.
00:09He was already a legend all through Europe.
00:14He was a captain of the ship, wasn't he?
00:15He really marched to the beat of a different drummer.
00:20Terribly impactful.
00:21It was like this slow motion river of knowledge.
00:26He was a perfect rock and roller.
00:29He was a perfect gypsy.
00:31He was an on the road picnic.
00:33He was all the things that are valued in the tattoo world.
00:36As with everything else, Felix never did things halfway.
00:40Whatever it was.
00:42You know, so it was like boom, boom, boom.
00:44Yeah, fast mover.
00:48As one thing, because he was an anarchist and a rebel
00:51and he was a hippie and enjoyed sex, drugs and rock and roll.
00:55And yet, on the other side, he kept the family together
00:58and built a career, which was definitely not fuck at all.
01:01You know what I mean?
01:01So how can you be both?
01:03It's the problem, mate.
01:07You know what I did with my life?
01:09I lived like a millionaire.
01:10I got out of bed when I wanted to.
01:13Nobody told me to get out.
01:15So I had no money. Fuck money.
01:17It didn't matter.
01:20Hi.
01:20How are you?
01:21It looks like there's a crow on here.
01:23There is.
01:23He's hanging from the ceiling.
01:25I thought it was a fancy hat.
01:27Morning, are you ready?
01:29I'm good, I'm good.
01:30I've started working on my book again,
01:32which I kind of put aside for quite a few months.
01:35I'm helping all of you guys to help me jog my memory a little bit.
01:40What would he put in his book?
01:42You and Felix is your story,
01:44which is my story as a kid and growing up.
01:47But now...
01:48He was deciding who he wanted to be every morning when he woke up.
01:52Felix taught me to love what I do.
01:54If you're gonna do it, find a way to love it.
01:56Makes life better.
01:57But they were fighting very hard to find a way to support themselves by being honest.
02:03No money.
02:04Nothing to eat.
02:05The lettuce freak, you know.
02:07God damn it!
02:08The kids are hungry.
02:09There's no money.
02:10I didn't know what to do, you know.
02:12I said, don't worry.
02:13Something will happen.
02:14That's the price.
02:15You have to pay to live free somewhere.
02:18Hey, shit, I have four kids to feed, you know.
02:20I went, this is it, man.
02:21I can live off tattooing anywhere.
02:23I can go to India and live off it.
02:50No, no, listen man, serious.
02:53Serious?
