- In this video, I'm inspired by the work of Jim Bachor who you can find on Instagram @jimbachor
His mosaic art is incredible and I owe a debt of gratitude to him for the inspiration.
Cameras were deftly handled by:
Charlie @traveling_with_charley on Instagram
Sean @makeronthemove on Instagram
and
Owen. International Man of Mystery
Don't attempt stupid stunts like this. You are way smarter than I am. C'mon, dude.
Lastly, a serious shout out to all those road crews who are busting their tails to fill holes and maintain streets. It's a tough, thankless job. Thank you. - Навчання та стиль
Seymour for President.
Except for the politics....
Nooooo!
...and that, my friends, is how Seymour Makebetter became Mayor of Bloomington Illinois.
That's awesome!
Hahaha, No way! NOPE!
Truly LOL
Dude, what a great idea! That turned out awesome😀
Thanks man, it's hardly original, but it was a blast!
This is Epic. So proud to know you. I can see a lot more potholes being repaired because of this. Pot Hole Posey!
HAHAHA! Is this going to get weirder?
Is this a thing? This needs to become a thing!
YOU'RE A THING!
@@AndyBirkeyMaker Hahaha!!!!!
BAHAHAHAHAHA!
Andy, you've just inspired me to do the same here in the UK. I pay £165 per month in local council taxes, yet I have to hop skip and jump around potholes each day on my bike. A few years back I took out my collarbone and bruised a rib after rolling down the road after coming off on my racing bike around a bend. Governments are failing us - civic vigilantes rock
We are what we are!
This is the single greatest thing I've ever seen. I love you Birkey! You make the world a better place.
Ryan! Wake up! You were having a bad dream! Hahahaha
I sit, I watch, I get transported for a brief moment into your world. I like it there. Never in the future of ever, will anyone at any time, ever have to ask "which house is yours." While it may be easy to assume negativity from everyone having to "look down upon you," nothing should be further from the truth... It's simply "you always looking up."
THERE WE GO! Rag for the win.... again!
Good idea Andy - you have inspired me to go fill a pot hole with something other than my tires while bending a tie rod. #TEAMPOTHOLEPOSEY @ManCraftingTM

Wow...I just watched a man bleed for his art...and laughed??😲 What a funny, yet fantastic idea! Utterly brilliant 👍😁
Completely not original, but had a good time doing it...
Montreal needs you!!!!! There are more potholes here than there is a road! Worst roads in the whole country! One pothole at a time we may be can make a difference lol
But seriously, man, what a dedication! Bloody fingers and all!
HAHAHA! I'm on my way, prepare the poutine!
This is why my neighbours don't hang out with me 🤣 It was good to meet you at MC 👍
Bahahaha, great to see you! Cheers!
2:24 is the moment you earned that #actualmoron tag. 😆 It was an honor to help you in this very important endeavor. It was a short visit, but it was a definite highlight of my roadtrip. Can't wait to see when you're up to the next time I roll through town!
Lord only knows, dude. No clue....
Ahahahahahaaaaaaaa !!!! Literally blood, sweat, n bacon !!! Awesomeness !!!!!
Smells of deliciousness
This is fantastic. Seymour is taking over the world one pothole at a time! Curious to see how long it lasts.
Me too, I'm not sure that hydraulic cement was the way to go, but it'll be interesting
Off the wall and on the road. I really hope that lasts. Great idea. Thanks and cheers, David.
CHEERS!
And we'd like to welcome Bloomington's newest employee to the D.O.T. Mr. Andy Birkey! Seymour Makebetter in action! ❤️
I won't let you down. Probably.
This. Is. Awesome. And you even bled for it. Love it Andy! - Jim
Art is hard, Jim. Especially when you are an #actualmoron
Brilliant Andy you put your own blood into that street 😂👍
Unintentional, but definitely!
That's awesome.... now the street looks even worse....lol you literally put your blood and sweat into this one!!! Nice work.
BAHAHAHAHA! TRUTH
Wonderful project, excellent execution, hilarious, bringing joy to all. Thanks for sharing. Don't forget you can do anything if you are wearing a hi-vis vest. I also see you appropriately sacrificed some blood to the pothole gods, in payment for undoing some of their work.
... Just act like you know what you're doing....
That's awesome Andy. You're a true civic-minded individual.
I kinda like to think so. Kinda.
Guess this is the next maker landmark that we all need to visit before we die
HAHAHA! We'll see how long he lasts out there!
Beautiful! I can't wait to watch this again with the volume up!
Hahaha!
YES. MORE NEEDED.
You're awesome.
Thank you, but you're obviously disturbed. Bahahaha
The water company is gonna want you to make those for all the shutoff valve access points now.
Dangit!
Classic Birkey!
YOU'RE CLASSIC BIRKEY!!
...oh wait. No you're not....
THIS! So much yes!
Great job Andy!
Now I need to find Seymour Mosaic !
Hahaha! Bring tacos!
LMAO Andy - that is great. Hope Seymore lasts a long time
Haha, unfortunately he's starting to lose his tiles ... Maybe need to do a round two!
You know it says a lot about how cities do barely any upkeep on roads if you can literally fill it and make a mosaic on top of it while it takes fifty years and a day for things like this to be filled
Hahaha, truth!
Love this so much!! You really put yourself into this one!
Blood, sweat and blood!
Oh the absolute joy in this! You are my hero sir!
Phil, get some smarter heroes. C'mon man!
That is friggin awesome!
Haha, good fun!
This is the best thing I have seen in a long time. You sir are a legend. 👊👊👊
Oh, I see. Now you have to start calling me names. Real mature, dude. 🙄
You are my hero, awesome job.
Hahaha, we need to talk.....
You are truly an amazing person!
Right?! I didn't even explain how many tacos I can eat, either!
One of my favorite videos on UA-cam. I watch it a ton!!
You sir, are insane. HAHAHA
Simply and purely brilliant.
Okay, let's go with those! Hahaha, gracias!
This made me laugh so much!! Good to see friends working on videos together! Not enough of that! Well done fellas!
Thanks Wes! Cheers brother
Fan of yours. Dope idea sir.
Thank you, that means a lot! Cheers!
Brilliant work Andy, might have to try that.
Cheers
Jim
Give it a go, Jim!
Birkey > Banksy 👌 LOVE IT!!!! 🙌
BAHAHAHAHA!

Thank you so much Hannah! The pleasure was all mine!
Sir, You are an awesome creative Maker! Kudos to Your skills. The only flaw is you left dna at the scene.

I love you for this dude. That is all
I love you because you are awesome.
This is my new favorite thing
Bahahaha, C'mon man!
I love this!!!
Gracias!
Love it! You and Seymour are a credit to your neighborhood.
That is up for debate, at this point....
Hahaha....SO AWESOME!!
YOU ARE SO AWESOME!
This is genius. I have no words.
How about #actualmoron ? Bahahaha
Can you do this at makers central!? Birmingham and the rest of the country is full of pot holes. It would one up those bringing stickers and coins ;)
If we could work out the logistics.....
Your street has room for more Seemores! 😀
Oh yeah, this could be a full time gig
This is the greatest thing ever
You are.
Wow. Brilliant.
I wouldn't go quite that far!
Quality work Birkey.
Thanks! 👊👊👊
That's pretty damn epic!
Too generous, Steve!
Brilliant !!!
Thank you sir!
Cool. Pot holes are dangerous: Guerrilla Urbanism. Your neighbors and city should thank you. Cheers! : )
That's kinda how I see it!
Super, Mega, Awesome!!
...and messy?
That's genius, Andy!
Easy now, Charlie....
@@AndyBirkeyMaker 😂😂😂 ok, really fun just the same.
@@JackbenchWoodworking that's a bit easier to take! HAHAHA cheers, brother
Freaking awesome. Doing your civic duty.
I'm trying , John....
The best EVER!!
Haha! Gracias, Donny!
I love it! Your mosaic art is real. Very real. You're real. I don't know where I'm going with this. Why do you confuse me so much and why do I like it?
GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF, MATT!
So funny! 😄
How much of your own blood is in that road now!?
Looks really great, I'd like to see more potholes covered that beautifully.
4.2 quarts. Give or take.
Very cool!
Not as cool as that sick sliding door you just built.
Awesomeness
You're awesomer.
Safety goggles engaged. Brilliant.
Aye, Cap'n. Gracias.
Kind of makes you the Banksy of pot holes. IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!
This is brilliant

Nothing compared to your glass work!
Very very cool Andy
Thanks Steve!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant.
Danke, Andy!
@@AndyBirkeyMaker Bitte schon.

@@AndyBirkeyMaker Oui. Makers International.
We can't take you anywhere Birkey. I like that about you!
I do tend to wander off.....
Just don't leave him unsupervised!

Genius.
How thin is the line between stupid and genius?
Perfect. Now I can find exactly where you live.
Oh no.
Hey Andy your the Man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 my hero 😂😂😂😂

Oh man that’s so freakin Awesome. Lmao 😂
Glad you like it, dude! Hahaha
Birkey you are my hero. 😂😂👏👏
Time to reassess those life decisions Gary.
Andy Birkey Too old and too late. Still my hero Birkey. 😂
That'll happen, I guess!
you need to mass produce glass face Seymour Makebetters now so we can market you across town for mayor! great video! I'm going to swing by and get a selfie with the pothole, I'll bring tacos
BAHAHAHAHA! Do it!
That street looks like a typical Pennsylvania road ...
Haha, I hear you!
Awesome!!!! 😂😂😂
Thanks Jake!
YES YES YES
Hahaha
One down about 10 billion to go!!!!!
It all starts with one!
@@AndyBirkeyMaker Preach!!!!
Sorry mate but I dragged the Seymour witches hat down the road because you yanks drive on the wrong side of the road lol, & I got confused as to where I was to go 😳😳😱👍
That's because you're upside down!
Oh this is amazing. How long did it last?
Hahaha thanks! It was there for about 6 months before it started to deteriorate pretty much, the hydraulic cement doesn't have very good compression strength as it turns out! Thanks for checking it out!
Yes yes yes. Hells yes.
Hahaha!
Banksy...Birksey...Birkey.. Coincidence? I think not. We found him!
Hahaha! ehm........no.
Andy Birkey That's what Banksy would say...
Dangit, that is true...

Me too, I learned a few things to do differently....it'll be interesting
hahaha this is great
BAHAHAHAHA
This is illegal...and could get you fined! But I love it and Lord knows Illinois needs fewer pot holes.
Oh, that would be just fine. Oh wait, you mean like fined!? Oh dear....
