- Jim Bachor's artwork has been filling the streets of Chicago - literally! Dozens of his mosaics have been appearing around the city, dotting the roads where potholes used to exist. Lee Cowan goes with Bachor as he adds a little color to Chicago's thoroughfares.

private companies should hire this guy/ this art and making a free advertisement on the road.....who need a billboard!
Alia Sahar that will probably trigger the gouvernement
@@ixyzyxi so, you say that like he hasn't done horrible sh izz to innocent people
Brave man .... having a red wings sticker on his mini van in Chicago.
It Ok there's closet Red Wings fans everywhere.... too bad they didn't make the playoffs this year. Nice work.
Redwings are a beloved boot for commuters! Why would we be bothered? Sure a hefty pair of Blundstones or Redbacks hold up to the salt and slush better, but I'll take a pair of redwings over Docs any day! (I know you mean the team. Jk)
@@lydianicolenorwick125 my comment had nothing to do with boots.
This guy is so awesome!!! What a beautiful way to fill in those pot holes. I’ve been to Chicago so many times and haven’t spotted a piece of his work but the next time I visit I will make sure to look better
He's amazing thank you so much for sharing. Just love it . He is an inspiration to create something that everyone can see, thanks again.
He’s awesome! He’s using his own money and his own time to do this !! They are so pretty!!
Jim Bachor is my dad
I'm serious

shout out to me and my brother
henry bachor hey Henry, it’s me ben from school(btw he’s not lying)
Hmm ...... Very interesting 😜
henry bachor Tell him that I think what he does is amazing. Does he keep it up?
very cool buddy love your dads work the toilet paper one is hilarious
That is lovely dear
Art is just amazing and those logos are very smart and special.
CBS Sunday Morning is the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest!!!!
I saw something like this in my town!
But instead of beautiful mosaics in potholes,
It's a middle finger hand traced into the sidewalk...why can't I have cool things?
LMFAO
That’s awesome!!!
Grreat artworks!, Mr. Jim
I love it

Really looks good, the city should at least pay him for the expenses (if he doesn't want to be paid for his work).
Call them donut holes, the cops will understand.
New Haven Ct here. We need this. Hmmmm I love making broken dish mosaic , I wonder it I can pull this off in my city. We have so many potholes and no money to fix them. I may give this a shot!!
We have life because of you.
good hero
I’m gonna go do this
why didn't you put his social media in the description?!?
The video showed it pretty clearly @3:58. "JimBachor"
tires on wet glass and marble, what could wrong
The destruction of beauty
This dude needs to move to Minnesota! Job security for life!!
This is beautiful...but for a 10hr work a-piece- of-art just for the city to cover it at some point in time, is probably not practical. Maybe he should work with the district's parks and rec to transfer his work in the parks (millennium park for instance) or walks/bike lanes. Tourists as well as locals would love his work and we can enjoy it for a lifetime. I love the crunch! It's so pop-arty.
How haven’t I seen any in Chicago?
nice
Hello sir,
What is the name of this technique,
& which type of materials & chemicals are used in this method.
Fill it and make it look like appear like a pothole!
If you want to do this try using Vaseline to hold the cheesecloth. I'd use 3 inch painters tape instead though.
Totally Love it 💕😊
Him doing this makes it twice as labor intensive and twice as expensive to properly fix these pot holes
Then maybe they'll fix them faster.
no they don't FIX the potholes. they can stay like that for years before the government does anything
Lol! Yeah. But... They won't fix the roads. properly or otherwise! They're seriously dangerous! At least he's doing SOMETHING. Marble and concrete aren't too bad
😆 repairs of the road from spongebob wtf rekt huh?
Wow really death?
4:18 yes anopportunity to spend big money
Never used concrete on a asphalt road pothole.
you should get chetos or whatever to sponsor you
😂👌🤣
And that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Vem andar no Brasil que vc vai ver oque e estrada esburacada
Красавчик!
Government to enjoy Tax payers money.
Too bad filling potholes without the right experience can cost the city more problems and issues than it's helping.
Citations?
Vesuvius hes not removing the gravel from the bottom or anything. The cement chunks he is putting in will get water under them and it will freeze. the ice will expand end it will come loose. if the city wants to actually fix them then they have to chip it out.
Ben Harris Yup. The city made official statements about it causing more harm than good. Also a bunch of other people. Sorry Robert Anon, I am too lazy to dig up the clips for you.
About 5 days ago I spent a day leveling a private road that leads into a driveway using "random assorted asphault", I asked my buddy: "what would you use to fill pot holes" he said "I would use this stuff". After that day went, I think he is right. That asphault stuff is really good at leveling the road and by the looks of it, you could use it to fill pot holes as a really good temporary fix and it wouldn't do any more harm to it than the rain erosion is currently doing to the pothole (by making it bigger). You could just fill potholes on public roads with aspault (rocks) with a shovel for a temporary fix, then when the official people who fix the potholes on public roads come to fix it, all they really have to do is scoop it out with a mud shovel and put it in a bucket, fill the pothole with cement or do whatever it is that they do to fix the pothole, and then take bucket of asphault with em'. This could work. See the problem here is that there is so many potholes and not enough people fixing em' (which demand direct action). We need to create a mechanism which allows ordinary people to do non-harmful temporary fixes. One example would be the official road repairers to suggest publicly (on the news or whatever) what ordinary people can and should use for non-harmful temporary fixes. Like they would say: "if you want to fix roads yourself, atleast use this stuff instead" ex: asphault. Anyways, I am just afraid that the conservatives are saying "don't fix it yourself" because they are coming from an irrational position of keeping the existing jobs alive and well to the point of preventing potential productivity. I am not a leftist, but I agree with the anarchist left ethic of _direct action_ . Productive direct action that improves the community should be welcomed rather than trying to keep problems alive and well in order to save jobs, it shouldn't be about that, it should be about making the community better in freedom of association and direct action, that is the type of free-market I support. As long as you are not intentionally trying to harm people, then yes, your volunteering efforts are welcome.
However, I don't doubt that this guy's mosaics can withstand both the traffic and the weather. Those mosaics can "survive volcanoes" and thousand of years (ancient) after all.
Maybe he could use his unused brain cells to fill the potholes
Death trap to motorcycle !!!! Seriously you think its ok to make a slippery spot call arts ???? RIP drivers .
Bill Cheung omg you'll be fine
Bill Cheung try a motorcycle hitting a pothole. This is 1000x better
Literally what is this comment? “Death trap to motorcycles”... what and the Grand Canyon pothole isnt? It’s far more dangerous for a bike to hit a large pothole than drive over marble for less than one second.
@@HMSDaring1 Precisely, and those motorcycles are a hazard at all times for everyone concerned.
Next story Jim arrested for trespassing and destroying government property
great guy, awful daytime tv style narration
those are eye sores
may be amusing but he should be prosecuted
sounds useless
