Be a Fool: Bad Art Clubs, Tall Bikes, and a DIY Philosophy for Creative Outsiders

Be a Fool is a celebration of a lifetime of creative adventures from brothers Willy and Benny Zenga-a joyful, scrappy, and deeply earnest invitation to put down your phone and pick up a paintbrush, a welding torch, or whatever tool speaks to you. Through stunning photography and personal storytelling, the Zenga Bros chronicle a life spent making things: films shot on family camcorders, magnificent tall bikes ridden through city streets and across continents, hand-painted cars, homemade costumes, and countless collaborations with siblings, friends, and neighbours. This isn't a how-to guide or a polished portfolio-it's a love letter to the weird, the goofy, and the gloriously imperfect. Born from the ethos that creativity doesn't have to be serious, precious, or perfect, Be a Fool champions art as play, experimentation as practice, and community as the ultimate creative fuel. The Zenga Bros want this book to do what ninja movies did for them as kids: inspire you to leap off the couch, ready to dream up, design, and build something of your own. For anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, who has creative dreams gathering dust, or who simply longs for a world where tall bikes roam every street and front yards overflow with music and colour-this book is your invitation to join the adventure. Be weird. Be joyful. Be a fool.
