Doherty exhibits his bloody paintings

A gallery is reportedly to sell Pete Doherty's paintings made with his own blood, which depict tourbus life and fans, for £1,000 each.

According to reports, Pete Doherty is to exhibit some pretty rubbish paintings that were created using his own blood and which depict his life on the tourbus and spending time with fans. Well, I don't know for sure that they're all rubbish, but I saw an image of one, and that was kind of rubbish. The rest may, for all I know, be works of astounding genius.

Certainly the gallery that is planning to show the pictures is going to attempt to persuade people that they are in fact works of astounding genius, because they're going to try and flog them (to complete mugs) for £1000 each.

Commenting on the pictures, someone called Paul Roundhill told the Evening Standard: "I picked these pictures up at his flat in Hackney. Blood paintings are something he has done for a long time."
