Sad Songs and Art? How Brad Pitt Is Getting Over Split from Angelina Jolie

Dailymail.com reports that Pitt has been spending around 15 hours a day in a Los Angeles studio, where he is working on an art sculpture with the help of a friend, British artist Thomas Houseago. A source told the website, "He spends all night working on his art and listening to emotional songs. Everybody knows it's related to what's going on with him personally, but nobody says anything. He's a quiet guy, and very humble. He's learning at a fast pace.”

"Art is a way for him to concentrate on one thing, taking his mind off everything else. He'd rather do that and be constructive than go out partying,” the insider went on.

Brad showed some support for Thomas during a recent public appearance in downtown Los Angeles. At the event, Thomas, who went through a divorce, told the audience, "You need that darkness and doubt as a motivator… recently I've come to really like that broken guy and take care of him. When you have that trauma and have that anxiety, you have that push… it gets you off planet earth, and through the atmosphere really fast.”
