"C.S. PHOTOSHOP BRUSHES" - Centric Studio's Most Useful Blog to Date

So, we started a new blog, CS PHOTOSHOP BRUSHES, that is strictly dedicated to photoshop brushes that we create. The plan is to update it monthly with new content so you might want to check back every now and then. Enjoy!

A Distress Signal in Westerly

WESTERLY, R.I. - Jason and Kelly Jarvis are in trouble. She lost her job in September. He has been out of work since last month.

Kelly and Jason Jarvis, an unemployed couple in Westerly, grew so frustrated by their situation that they hung a flag upside down from their house last week as a sign of distress. (The Providence Journal / Kris Craig)The couple, married for 16 years and with two teenage sons, are running out of money. They are behind on their mortgage payments and their lender keeps calling, asking them when they'll mail a check.

They've tried to stay positive, but a week ago, after answering several of those calls, Kelly Jarvis broke down. Her husband tried to reassure her, but he grew frustrated, too.
