News – Pete Doherty’s Blood Paintings – London

Almost a week after pictures of Pete Doherty, either injecting or removing a syringe from the arm of an out-cold girl, were published, his crew are cashing in on the press. While Doherty has come up with a weird excuse for the syringe stunt – something along the lines of ‘I needed her blood for a painting’ – there’s an exhibition of his blood-works in the pipeline. Apparently these are to be sold off for £1000 a pop, although for those who can’t wait, the pieces can be viewed online for, surprise-surprise, a small fee, at Balachadha.com.
