Sackville Street, just south of Dundas, is right in the midst of the Regent Park renewal project.  It is also the site of two murals.  First, there is bright and colourful mural which is painted on the side of a new apartment building.

A green hand is reaching up towards the sun

The other mural is a painting by elicser on hoardings around a building under construction.

    Elicser is a regular on Regent Park hoardings, & where you see him, you often see Shalak (as in your first shots) and often Smoky with Fija with her as well. I love their work!
