He worked as an associate creative director at
Chicago ad agency
Foote, Cone & Belding. After a visit to
Pompeii, Italy, Bachor found mosaics that survived an ancient volcano and in 2013 he decided to begin filling potholes in Chicago with mosaics, with images such as a popsicle and flowers, and the message that it's "not a pothole anymore." In the summer of 2014, Bachor completed
Thrive, a 700-square-foot commission for the
Chicago Transit Authority that was installed in the city's Thorndale Red Line "L" station. In the fall, he was commissioned to create an in-store floor mosaic at Nike's flagship store on North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. In 2016, he installed several mosaics in Philadelphia, in collaboration with
HAHA Magazine x Paradigm Gallery. One was entitled
Make Your Mark. The same year, he installed a mosaic in front of the
Spirit of Detroit statue on Woodward Avenue in Detroit. In May 2017, he made his first political statement with a pothole mosaic in which the word "LIAR" was placed over an image of the Russian flag. It was installed on Wabash Avenue near
Trump Tower in downtown Chicago. It was first made when Trump was sworn into office, and was installed during the period when it became known that
Trump held a White House meeting with Russian diplomats in which he disclosed highly classified information. ==References==
