He has since completed several other long-term panoramic sketching projects in Texas and Colorado. Heaston has been a correspondent for Urbansketchers.org since 2009 and in addition maintains his own sketch blog, Three Letter Word for Art, as well as a Facebook page and Instagram account where he posts his sketches.
