Doherty's taxi blood money

Pete Doherty will split proceeds from 45 signed prints of a blood painting with a taxi company owner to cover an £1800 bill.

Pete Doherty has agreed to split the proceeds of the sale of 45 signed prints of one of his blood paintings with a London taxi company owner to cover a £1800 bill.

The painting shows the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury from the crowd's point of view and was apparently completed after Doherty had an argument with his management at the festival.

Says Doherty of the painting: "Even if you're in a terrible mood and just painting blind, the finished result is something to look at and cherish. Like writing a song lyric, carving something, anything made out of nothing you can call your own, something that's been worth doing".

The singer told the NME that it was the "best painting" he had ever created. Judge for yourself at www.arrowgalleries.com.
