<p>What may look like a harmless pothole or random remainder of grass takes on a different meaning when viewed from the perspective of the ultra-small, becoming dangerous sinkholes or inviting plots of land for sale, respectively.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/miguelmarquezoutside/">Michael Pederson</a> crafts signage for just such a miniature reality, helping form orderly lines for anyone heading into a small hole in the wall, or suggesting a certain hiding space may not be as welcoming as it looks.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/and-for-sale.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-116087" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/and-for-sale-644x805.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="805"></a></p>
<p>One can imagine tiny creatures of myth and fantasy, or simply everyday little urban animals, installing such signs to variously warn, invite, notify and sell at a scale that most of us overlook on an everyday basis.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/pothole-sinkhole-warning-sign-960x1031.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-116085" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/pothole-sinkhole-warning-sign-644x692.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="692"></a></p>
<p>For full-sized human observers, the signs can provide small insights into the world around us, reminding people how long, for instance, a given weed has managed to struggle and grow out of an unassuming crack in the pavement (via <a href="https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2018/08/new-miniature-interventions-by-michael-pederson/">Colossal</a>).</p>
