Celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary with Sail 4th 250 & America 250

America’s 250th Birthday

America turned 250, and Charles was right in the middle of it. As The Official Artist for Sail 4th 250 and An Official Artist for America250, Charles spent over a year creating two commemorative pieces that capture the once-in-a-generation celebrations… every tall ship, every firework, every landmark from all 50 states, hand-cut and layered by in his signature 3D style.
